Why Colbert's cancellation marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large

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.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: ICE has detained hundreds of U.S. citizens by “mistake.” And now they want 100,000 beds and more planes to scale up? They’re not deporting “illegals”—they’re running a kidnapping ring with government contracts.

Guys, he wrote about their “beautiful secrets” to Epstein. Sick ass predator. He can’t defend the words he has to pretend the letter is fake because it’s that SICK. What man would defend this behavior? BETAs

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

idk who needs to hear this but I DO NOT CARE what poor people buy with food stamps. Once those tax dollars go from me to them, it’s out of my hands. They’re going to use it to survive whether they buy chips and popcorn or fruits and veggies, and it’s not my business which. Calories in, calories out.

ALSO, those article writers moaning about the lefties being humorless scolds here on Bluesky are carefully eliding their memories of the lefties being humorous scolds on Twitter too, look, some lefties are just humorless scolds, just like so many righties are just fucking fascist shitbunglers

A reminder

The Supreme Court unanimously revived a lawsuit from a pair of Atlanta residents seeking to hold the federal government accountable after FBI agents mistakenly battered down their front door and held them at gunpoint during a predawn raid of the wrong house.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

The world is more divided than ever, but there’s still something (nearly) everyone agrees on: The US is unloved. Meanwhile, China keeps improving its global standing 👇 www.politico.eu/article/usa-...

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Dear Democratic Party, It’s time to shift from panic to blueprint. You should already be working with strategists and military minds on PROJECT 2029 a coordinated, long-term plan to rebuild this country when the smoke clears.

Haven’t been on here in a bit, but here’s a periodic reminder that Elon Musk still has your personal info.

every single public facing person in this administration is just a different variation on baghdad bob

What a different world we could have.

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

trump went from promising to lower prices on day one to fucking up the stock market and refusing to rule out a recession on Day 48. Raise your hand if you're not surprised one bit. 🤚

Really good point from @pkrugman.bsky.social here

A federal lawsuit filed by a Social Security Administration chief of staff, until they were forced out in February, is the first in-depth public account from a high-ranking government executive of how Musk’s team is operating as it leads a downsizing of the federal government under President Trump.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

“The quiet but seismic recalibration dismantles Biden-era mandates and signals a return to more aggressive counterterrorism policies Trump first instituted in his first term.” Some of us tried to warn you that he wasn’t ‘antiwar’ or ‘isolationist’. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...

Number 1, fuck off. Number 2, you would have done what?

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks. Just sayin'.

Aligning with Russia sure as shit ain’t “America first.” youtu.be/5HJviwBVb-E?...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Crazy that the Guardian lets some of these decent articles slip through their usually hardline stance against trans people's lives

BREAKING: The mass firing of upwards of 1,800 workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including top climate scientists and weather forecasters, has begun. The firings reportedly include workers at the National Weather Service.

Oliver Darcy has some very good points here

Man, it is really hard to not go straight to Facebook when I’m bored. The hold Meta has on me even though I hate them is ridiculous.

Budzinski: "We saw just yesterday another round of layoffs at the VA -- 1,400 more people. When we're trying to address veterans suicide rates, when you're cutting jobs for folks that are actually answering those suicide hotlines, how is that in the service of our veterans?"

Lamar’s halftime performance signaled protest and patriotism at once, provoking without necessarily saying much, writes @skornhaber.bsky.social:

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

This is what Twitter looks like right now

Great point.

32 days until the government runs out of money Democratic are about to have a lot of leverage Not clear they’ll use it

I didn't order this, could I have the chicken fingers instead?

1. Protests have erupted at multiple hospitals across the United States that have decided to comply with Trump's executive order banning trans care under 19. Now, a lawsuit challenges that EO. Writer Mira Lazine writes about the importance of the protests. Subscribe to support our journalism.
