Kimmel’s back—proof that public pressure can make a difference. But folks in our region won’t be able to watch tonight because KOMO’s owner, Sinclair, refuses to air the show on its ABC stations.
It’s corporate cowardice to censor programming just because the president doesn’t like it.

KOMO won’t air return of Jimmy Kimmel’s show in Seattle, owner says
Sinclair-affiliated stations, including KOMO in Seattle and KATU in Oregon, won’t air Jimmy Kimmel's show despite its reinstatement by ABC on Monday.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Reactions like this to brians story show why it's valuable to keep talking about. As artists we are living the situation and assume others are aware, but the truth is most people do not know
Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.
TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.
Free speech, everyone.

Trumps statement on the shooting and his subsequent gaslighting of right wing political violence is sick
He had a chance to bring people together and chose division yet again
It was typical but still horrifying to see

So after two straight days of Republicans saying trans people and the Left did this, threatening full on violence, it turns out the suspect is a politically unaffiliated white dude who was trained to use guns by his Republican law enforcement dad? Do I have that right?

So now that it’s confirmed that none of the messages on the bullets were pro-trans, maybe we should have a national conversation about how multiple newspapers repeated a lie about us on their front pages hours after doubts had already been cast over it?

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.
ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.
