You know… it’s nice seeing people go down for the sake of principle. I know Colbert will do fine, but this is still admirable.
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Some hopeful news! We have added five new locations to the Malcolm Lives tour. Lansing, Boston, Harrisburg, New Haven & DMV. As powerful forces strive to compel us to stop learning about Black history, there are numerous bookstores, libraries, churches, and museums leaning into their missions. 1/2

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else.

Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.” Approximately four hours later, he announced a 90-day pause on most trade tariffs, leading to a significant surge in the stock market. Do you think this is insider trading?

It’s not a coincidence that the same Americans who want to restore what’s history do not want Americans to learn about what’s history.

Every day, it looks more like a regime.

Now the Trump administration is pushing to put Columbia University under a consent decree—a court-enforced agreement that would legally bind the school to federal demands, with a judge overseeing whether they “comply.”

Well bravo to all those folks who voted for Mike Johnson to represent them. Hope they’re happy.
Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid.

Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

not to defend the robber barons but Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his era, gave away 90 percent of his wealth and funded the building of 2,811 libraries, and I’m afraid the current crop of oligarchs isn’t sending their best.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
