Incredible. We got to "Is a pedophile island really all that bad?" five times faster than I thought.

β€œI am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Postponed to August 2026 due to a massive staphylococcus infection in my right leg it nearly killed me! Thank goodness for the husband that took me into Kaiser’s emergency room and a fast surgery to reduce the infection twice in 2025.

Colbert Defies, CBS Cowers This, my friends, is how it is done: Lean in.

This, my friends, is how it is done: Lean in. Expose. Defy.

The phrase β€œSpeaking truth to power,” has become something of a cliche. Maybe that’s because we see it so seldom in practice. But we saw it last night, and it was spectacular.

πŸ”Ž SCOOP: Anderson Cooper To Depart 60 Minutes Legendary Newsman Will Focus on CNN And Family

I'm sure it is just a coincidence that this announcement comes after it was discovered that partisan hack Bari Weiss was working to cut Anderson Cooper's 60 Minutes piece on Trump *loving* immigrantsβ€”but only if they are white South Africans.

Our assignment is to embarrass fascist hack and Trump-panderer Bari Weiss by making sure this segment, which she banned from airing, gets more views on YouTube than it would have gotten on CBS. #StreisandEffect

One part of Jesse Jackson's legacy I feel able to talk about is that he absolutely helped to pull the Democratic Party forward on gay rights. He did so out of both moral conviction-- because it was right--and a shrewd belief in coalition politics. That's one of many lessons we can learn from him.

Stephen Colbert Says CBS Blocked Him From Interviewing Senate Hopeful Over FCC Equal Time Fears Colbert and 'The Late Show' posted the interview with James Talarico on the show's YouTube page to bypass the FCC's oversight.

"You know who is not one of my guests tonight: Texas State Representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast."

Watch it - a beautiful, powerful tribute to Pretti and Good. An indictment of the
violence that took them via the incredible power of gesture and dance. πŸ’•πŸ’ͺ

I don't believe the criminal in chief wants to build massive internment camps just for immigrants

They want to come for all of us!

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Trump is waging war on the people of Minnesota. He’s threatening to go to war with our European allies. He is covering up the Epstein Files.

This is what it looks like when the president is a demented Nazi pedophile. If you bow down to him, you’re pathetic.

I t is not just the ICE Agents whom fired the shots but the accessories to the murder that must be removed the other field agents & the entire ICE structure that facilitated this crime to the detector of the agency & the administration that hired & authorized murder of citizens.

Who else plans on watching the halftime show on Sunday (the real one, that is)? I think I'd sooner remove my ears than listen to Mr. I Pretend to Have Grown Up Poor in Detroit When I Really Came From An Affluent Suburb.

Let's get Bad Bunny some great ratings.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
