Superb & eviscerating take on the situation at CBS by John Oliver and @lastweektonight.com. As I’ve noted, the new billionaire owners create a mirrortocracy, pretend it’s a meritocracy & hire a mediocrity to get there. But it is not about innovating & supporting journalism.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime.

With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air.

This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.

It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

Two innocent children are dead and the far right are racing to use it as pretext to further eradicate trans people. This mass shooting had nothing to do with the shooter being trans and everything to do with them being radicalized online by a nihilistic murder cult that worships mass shooters.

These children were probably praying when they were shot to death at catholic school. Don’t give us your fucking thoughts and prayers.

Trump got rid of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Trump gutted the resources that were in place to keep our communities safe.

It’s easy to get discouraged but there is still reason to be joyful. Take this incredible example of grand juries refusing to indict a woman for confronting an agency involved in ICE enforcement.

It’s nearly unheard of for grand juries not to indict. Three refusals is a sign of things to come. ✊

Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant.

They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.

1. Orlando citizens defied DeSantis and re-colored the rainbow crosswalk commemorating Pulse Nightclub victims.

The DeSantis admin had the memorial crosswalk painted over black during the cover of night.

Community members had it restored the very next day.

This is nazi logic. The Nazis would redistribute the confiscated property of Jews to the German populace as an incentive to support their mass deportation to concentration camps.

Newsletter: It's time for a radical new approach to tech CEOs: mocking them, because they talk like idiots and provide little value to society outside of their dedication to shareholder value. They sound stupid, they do nothing, and it's time to fight back.

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government
