Reluctant Earthling. Sometimes an artist. Panpsychist (well, almost everyone). I read, crochet, garden in a native kind of way, and think a lot about all sorts of things. Commas and other punctuation aid communication, therefore, I use those.

I said from the jump that Kimmel never said the shooter was MAGA. I heard it the way he meant it: that MAGA is desperately spinning a narrative that the shooter is anything but MAGA. It’s like when I say I don’t trust the source of the texts, people make all kind of assumptions about what I mean.
So, Kimmel said nothing wrong and was mocking MAGA. That's it.
ABC's cowardice even worse.

Jimmy Kimmel Did Not Say Exactly What You Think He Said
Jimmy Kimmel’s comment about the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect was a mess, and a miss, which gets less clear the more you look at it.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"
Turns out, mom was right.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

It's not so much a panic "attack" at this point, it's more of a standing appointment we have every morning where we meet on my couch for coffee

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.
As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

@booker.senate.gov made history yesterday.
He made genuinely “good trouble.”
During his brilliant record-breaking filibuster, he asked “Where does the Constitution live, on paper or in our hearts?”
All of us are called in our own way to answer that question by our actions, not just our words.
