I wrote about Colbert for the Guardian. It started out talking about the politics, but then it just became a sort of love letter for late night television.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much?
They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs.
Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher.
Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.”
It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.
Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.
That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.
It's Fascism 101.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Could you imagine being told by the government that your job, the thing that feeds your family and puts a roof over your head, covers your medical bills, saves towards your retirement, is “wasteful spending.” And so you’re fired by a billionaire?
