CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

BREAKING: Colombian President Gustavo Petro uses his UN speech to call for a full CRIMINAL investigation into Trump, citing his illegal and murderous military strikes on Venezuelan ships in the Caribbean.👏 I fully support this. 🇨🇴🇻🇪

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

Replying to @altnps.bsky.social

- He signed an executive order labeling “antifa” a domestic terrorist organization, a category that doesn’t even exist under U.S. law. Anti-fascism, like fascism itself, is a broad political stance, not an official group that can be banned.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

Here’s an idea. The west has held about $300 billion in Russian assets. They should release 2 billion a day to Ukraine until Russia stops the war, or they disperse it all. Then Russia will have to accept the war has an additional real cost per day

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Ingraham: A Democrat congressional candidate was thrown to the ground by an ICE agent. Good work

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

Charlie Kirk said Joe Biden should be executed. When Democrats defend their vote for a resolution honoring this man, just remember that this is what they voted to honor.

"Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled, Alzheimer's, corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America." -Charlie Kirk (07/24/23)

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

The tired and stale "Trump Show" has run on for several seasons too long!!! Never in my life have I witnessed a sinking turd of this magnitude truck on for so long without being canceled!!! It clearly should have been shelved after jumping the shark at the end of season four at the very latest!!!

Swalwell to the FCC chair while wearing his Jimmy Kimmel hat: "Democrats are going to have a majority in just over a year...get a lawyer." ✊✊🏻✊🏾 #USDemocracy #Pinks

I’ve been gone awhile…. I’m back. I’ve been beaten down, defeated, and consumed with sadness over the death of democracy…. I woke up today and shifted my ass to a new paradigm.. NO! FUCK NO! I’m here, I’m furious and I will not capitulate to this fascism. #resistance #usa #freedom #letsgo

Let’s fucking go! They never think ahead that once they are in the minority, they are supremely fucked. I just hope America exists long enough to vote these assholes out of office.

Swalwell: There's going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you're going to be in this room answering questions

Dear Executives, Please know the American people are going to turn your business upside down as soon as you bend the knee to this fascist regime. See what happened to Target? 40% loss in value and CEO fired. We’re doing that to Disney/ABC now, and you’ll be next 🙂. Sincerely, Your Customers

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

Trans people just want to live their lives and be left the fuck alone. They are not terrorists. They are our friends, our family, our co-workers, they are human beings who deserve the same rights as everyone else. I REFUSE to allow the right to use them as their Reichstag fire to erode our rights

Do I believe that Charlie Kirk was a racist, homophobic asshole? Yes. Am I celebrating his death? No. No one should be killed for their political beliefs. The efforts on the right to turn America into a fascist hellscape using Charlie Kirk as a martyr will fail. #freedom
