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.

The funding for these long COVID research grants was given back bc disability activists urged us to contact our reps persistently, in high volume, and we did. Remember that these tactics work the next time someone tries to get you to passively react instead of taking an active part in organizing!

Too often when we talk about the Great Barrington Declaration, we treat it as though it was purely the product of a right-wing dark money group.
But a key Trump COVID adviser helped organize the conference out of which it emerged—a detail that we too often overlook.
