You’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter what Kimmel said. The federal government threatened ABC to suspend/fire Kimmel or there’d be consequences. It was a direct threat issued yesterday, and it’s on tape. That’s a direct violation of the First Amendment. It’s a direct attack on free speech.

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

After three Wisconsin Indivisible groups heard their GOP representative was using sprinklers to disperse peaceful protestors outside his office, the Tom Tiffany Beach Bash was born. Rather than run from the petty waterworks, Indivisibles stripped down to their bathing suits and kept on protesting! 😎
