Stephen Colbert will still be Stephen Colbert—even recording on his cellphone. But when media institutions align with authoritarian regimes, history is clear: repression is inevitable. Authoritarianism is never satisfied. The first refusal triggers retaliation. It’s only a matter of time! #Pinks

Was cancellation of the Colbert show a secret side agreement in CBS parent Paramount's $16 million lawsuit settlement with Trump? Seems like an amazing coincidence if it wasn't.

They Took the Man Who Mocked a King Off the Air Stephen Colbert stood where truth and comedy met. That space is now dark.

They took Colbert off the air. Not for scandal. For satire. For making the merger boys nervous. If you ever laughed to survive, this piece is for you.

👇 Read it. Mourn. Get loud. And if CBS asks, we’re just watching NCIS: Late Capitalism—Special Victims of Budget Cuts.

The Paramount comics, Colbert and Stewart, are sharp critics of the '60 Minutes' deal Stephen Colbert returned from vacation loaded for bear. The CBS late-night comic referred to the settlement between his parent company, Paramount Global, and President Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes”...

CBS “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert condemned parent company Paramount Global’s settlement of Trump’s lawsuit over a “60 Minutes” story as a “big fat bribe” during his first show back from a vacation.

Trump ambushes South African president with video and false claims of anti-white racism Cyril Ramaphosa responds to hectoring stunt in Oval Office and egregious claim of white genocide by suggesting calm

Trump's showcased in the White House his project of reigniting white supremacism. Consistent with US neo-Nazis' narratives he supports the genocide of Palestinians by the Israel apartheid state & takes under his wing the founders of the original apartheid www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being “undermined.”

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

No other president? I can think of a few! And they stood up for America against enemies, not allies. Little Marco, let's see Trump stand up to Putin if you want to impress anyone.

Zelensky cares more about Ukraine and Ukrainians, present and future, than about himself or what people say about him. This makes him incomprehensible to people like Trump and Musk, who care only about their personal power and image. He is a living rebuke and it’s one reason they despise him.

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

As a result of the Russian drone attack this night, a private home in the Kyiv region was burned to the ground.

A 19-year-old girl is among the victims.

Overnight, Putin’s forces launched a massive drone attack on Kyiv. Fires broke out in several districts.

The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Instead of Napoleon, Trump should cite Óscar Benavides: "For my friends, anything. For my enemies, the law."

Actually, you are wrong. Leadership roles require trust to be effective. Only people with integrity can build trust. The focus is threfore on the full package. Integrity, intelligence, technical knowledge, and experience. He has none of these. But without integrity, nothing else counts.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok
