I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

“Country founded on political violence claims political violence isn’t the answer while surging in masked federal agents and national guard to take over cities full of black and brown people”

Kirk has always been a pariah to the left and there have not ever been attempts on his life until now. We didn’t want him dead. But someone with a lot to lose probably did.
MAGA Republicans canonized Kirk because he was willing to say out loud,
the most vile, horrifically hateful, racist and bigoted shit possible,
and get away with it.
He put words to how they feel, and always have.
He made white people worse in every way.
His demise is no great loss.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Here’s a painful reminder, regarding Trump.
Big secret: unconstitutional laws aren’t “illegal” in the way you think. They’re invalid…but not punished. And tyrants LOVE that loophole.

A retired U.S. soldier who worked at Gaza aid delivery sites said, “What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland. We, the United States, are complicit. We are involved, hand in hand, in the atrocities and the genocide that is currently undergoing in Gaza.”

Everything you see in these ICE raids is what happened to us. And worse the parts we aren’t seeing. If ICE is acting this way in public, if you know about slavery, you know how they are acting inside those concentration camps.
We can't look upon US slavery enough. We can't have enough stories of it. Black people shouldn't be the only ones carrying knowledge of its deep terror. They don't want it to be legal to know about. But it's central. You would never ask how the US can devastate in this or that way if you knew.

ICE has been routinely arresting asylum-seekers following their immigration hearings, and anti-ICE protesters had gathered at the courthouse that morning, as they said they’ve been doing every Tuesday.

How does Seattle choose between Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Eddie Vedder?
I love how certain cities hold their most iconic musicians as patron saints and part of the city's identity. Minneapolis has Prince. We in Austin Have Willy. New Orleans has Dr. John.
Genuinely curious: Who is your city's musical patron saint?

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.
What an unbelievable asshole.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — the star of Signalgate and Signalgate the sequel — has transformed a space behind the Pentagon briefing room to use as a makeup studio, defense officials have confirmed.
Scandal-prone Hegseth is preparing for his closeups.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.
