I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.
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.
27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.
Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.
One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case. Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real. If you’re wondering how little they value Black lives—look no further.
A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.
One of the things about JD Vance is that he is completely 100% aware that what he is doing is evil and has made a deliberate, conscious choice to do evil to get power. He’s not self-deluded or dumb. He hasn’t drunk Kool-Aid. He’s decided to do evil for power.
⚡️JUST NOW: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social barred from a Secretary Noem event at NASHVILLE AIRPORT, in his own district🤔 He says he wanted to ask where hundreds grabbed by ICE in the Nashville raids are, has never been kept from an airport event. FULL Hill stream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0cw...
If you’d told me a decade ago that the NYT and WaPo would roll over for a Republican president going full fascist while the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal went on the attack — and that Bill Kristol was pressing the attack harder than Nancy Pelosi — well, I’d have had you committed.
If it's produced, streamed, or owned by Paramount, I'm not watching it. They don't get a view from me. They don't get a dime from me. Call it a boycott. Call it whatever you want. Colbert is the only Paramount property I'll watch until May, and after that, I'm done with them.
One of the most under reported stories in the legacy media is how many states the RNC and DOJ are suing right now to access their voter rolls. It is a frontal assault on democracy that Democracy Docket covers every day, while legacy media both-sides Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
"We are involved in a serious social revolution. By and large, American politics is dominated by politicians who build their careers on immoral compromises and ally themselves with open forms of political, economic, and social exploitation." — John Lewis, March on Washington
Two observations: 1. "Produce" to who? Note, he doesn't say release publicly. 2. "Pertinent" is doing a lot of work here. This does not mean all records, just the ones Bondi believes are "pertinent." Trump is panicking and is very dangerous. Stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
FBI AGENTS TOLD TO FLAG MENTIONS OF TRUMP IN EPSTEIN RECORDS, SAYS SEN. DURBIN "...you pressured the FBI to put approximately 1,000 personnel...to review ~100,000 Epstein-related records... My office was told [they] were instructed to "flag" any records in which President Trump was mentioned."
there is a certain liberal anti-affirmative action scholar who has insisted, like a rube, that once racial preferences are gone we can build support for class-based affirmative action. but the people who oppose affirmative action also very obviously oppose redress for class inequality!
