“You warned us about government overreach.
You warned us about canceling free speech.
You warned us about secret pedophile rings.
And now your party is enabling it.”
Read that again.

What is happening in the Twin Cities and the Great North Star State is heartbreaking to witness. These events have cost lives and shaken families — and we must call for accountability, transparency, and protections for all people. This moment demands that we reflect honestly on what our values truly are. My thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with the families of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
I stand with the people of Minnesota.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.
His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.
This is now very obvious.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.
And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Portnoy is missing the point here. If ABC, as Kimmel's employer, had an issue with what he said, that's one thing—but Trump and the FCC threatened to revoke their license if they didn’t suspend him. That’s what I’m upset about. It’s an abuse of power, and if it happened to a conservative voice, they’d be screaming to high heaven about it.
With Kimmel getting canned I’m seeing lots of people talking about the hypocrisy of cancel culture. To me Cancel culture is when people go out of their way to dig up old tweets, videos etc looking for dirt on somebody they don’t like in an effort to get them fired. Like if Kimmel got canceled for shit he did on the Man Show that would be cancel culture. But when a person says something that a ton of people find offensive, rude, dumb in real time and then that person is punished for it that’s not cancel culture. That is consequences for your actions

🚨 #BREAKING: The Daily Mail says Jimmy Kimmel is now facing a federal investigation, for telling viewers that Charlie Kirk’s killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was a MAGA supporter.
Let that sink in. Comedians are getting investigated for political speech now.
Welcome to fascism.

Republicans are honoring Charlie Kirk’s memory by declaring war on the First Amendment theverge.com/policy/779799/r…

Ben & Jerry’s is the only major company I know of that has repeatedly lobbied for Black American Reparations. Two older men with access who have no incentive other than justice, are now being punished and silenced for their unwavering support of Palestine. I’m not heartbroken, im galvanized. We continue to fight the good fight ✊🏾
After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal #FreeBenAndJerrys

So right now in America you can get fired for directly quoting Charlie Kirk, but you can keep your Fox News talk show when you suggest the U.S. homeless population should be euthanized. Got it.

Corrupt, despicable, & spineless behavior.
A coordinated effort to control the media is happening before our eyes & it needs to be called out.
I asked FCC chair @BrendanCarrFCC if he had any new comment now that ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel's show, and he sent me this GIF
Drew Gingras retweeted
Kimmel.
Colbert.
Suits against the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and 60 Minutes.
Extorting settlements from CBS, ABC, and others.
Blocking the AP's access to the White House.
This administration is responsible for the most blatant attacks on the free press in American history.
What will be left of the First Amendment when he’s done?
Drew Gingras retweeted
To be clear: It's not "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after comments about Charlie Kirk," it's "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after threats from Trump FCC chair"
The distinction matters here.
