Damn. This is refreshing. Worth listening to the whole thing
Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

It's interesting that Trump and Johnson both had a history of being groomed by Russia, and were both under the control of a technocrat or minder, in Dominic Cummings for Johnson and Elon Musk for Trump.

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country.
They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Googling photos of Tehran in 1970s is a lesson to all of us women about how freedoms once won have to be protected, respected and, if necessary, fought for every single day. Progress in women’s rights is so easily lost.
