Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk
The death of late night is just authoritarianism. It's so predictable it's hack.
🎧 In the wake of ABC’s indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, this episode of "More to the Story" (published earlier today) is essential listening: @revealnews.org examines how the tragedy of Charlie Kirk’s murder is accelerating a political crackdown. LISTEN:
Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
🚨NEWS: Nexstar's decision to remove Jimmy Kimmel comes as the company is asking the Trump administration for merger approval and also lobbying the Trump FCC to end local ownership rules so that the company can buy up more markets.
A resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) over comments and a social media repost she made regarding conservative leader Charlie Kirk’s death failed Wednesday.
The Proud Boys are back, writes Ali Breland, who spoke with Enrique Tarrio about his newfound enthusiasm for cancel culture.

“Standing up to Trump does not mean that you win. But giving in guarantees that you lose.”
I’ll go one further…any President who violates his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” should be impeached, convicted, and removed from office.
And Joe bidens attempt to stay in power and the enablers who hid his true physical state and mental acuity.
So true!
“This will go down as one of the darkest days in modern scientific history in my 50 years in the business,” says Michael Osterholm, an infectious-diseases epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. “These are going to be huge losses to the research community.”
Dear CDC friends. Today was the most foolish of April Fool's days. We have not just lost jobs. With entire teams and offices being cut, we have lost vast amounts of institutional knowledge. Take the time you need to grieve. Then join your fired colleagues in the fight.

Omg if this isn’t genocide I don’t know what is!
Morning from Kyiv.
I had a slow #warcoffee
