Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE.

🔥💯 Jon Stewart's prophecy from 2022:

"When a democracy is under threat: comedians are the ones who get sent away first. Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to progress. It ain't the pronoun police, it's the Secret Police. It always has been & it always will be."

NEW: If Republicans won’t conduct oversight of Trump’s unconstitutional and cruel immigration policies that kidnap and disappear immigrants of all statuses, I will.

Today’s Shadow Hearing will focus on how his actions are destroying U.S. families and communities.

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Should Democrats demand a thorough investigation into Charlie Kirk’s killer and the whole internet poisoned culture that drives so much of this?

Any investigation would be a bad look for the whole right wing, but also how do they justify publicly voting not to pursue it after all this? Worse look?

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

A Dem demand to reverse the SCOTUS, and block ICE from targeting Latinos for their race, is a brutal wedge for the GOP and MAGA.

They can either gut the racial terror campaign that the base loves, or they can announce to Latinos they're targets. stancilculture.substack.com/p/you-cant-d...

A guy can’t even slap his wife around anymore because of woke
Here Trump is complaining that hitting your wife is being classified as a crime — and he says calling domestic violence a crime is an attack against him personally, done only in order to say that crime didn’t fall 100% because of him
