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 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.
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'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...
there are only 195 generally recognized countries. is he making deals with Wakanda?
Who would’ve thought we’d be living these books out? We are in perilous times.
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.”
The Commerce Secretary of the US is telling people to go out and buy stock in a specific company on national television.
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.
I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍

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.
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.
This is absolutely chilling.
He truly is a sociopath.
Love to see it
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
Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.
2 pictures: 1: A woman hands out a list with "books we banned" and gives it to a teacher. 2: The teacher is in the classroom, on the whiteboard "This year's reading list" and holds the list in her hands.
Well, you know what to do!
