@s_alexievich Captivated by your book ‘The Unwomanly Face of War’. Is there a reason why they always say #fascists when referring to the German enemy & not call them what they were? #Nazis

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! has sparked an extraordinary wave of backlash from across the entertainment industry — hosts, producers, actors, unions, and civil liberties groups are lining up to call it what it is: censorship. This isn’t just about one host. It’s about whether political pressure can decide who gets to speak. Late-night solidarity is real: 👏 David Letterman called the move “misery,” blasting the politicization of broadcast decisions. 👏 Stephen Colbert reacted live on set, visibly stunned, and condemned it as an attack on free expression. 👏 Jon Stewart is planning a Daily Show special to rally support for Kimmel’s return. Major creative voices are speaking out: 👏 Damon Lindelof (Lost, Watchmen) has said he won’t work with Disney/ABC again unless Kimmel is reinstated. Other showrunners and producers have privately warned the decision has a chilling effect on all political comedy. Actors and comedians are outraged: Ben Stiller, Wanda Sykes, Rosie O’Donnell, Jean Smart, Mike Birbiglia, Sophia Bush, Kathy Griffin, Christie Brinkley, Paul Scheer, and Alex Edelman have all condemned the suspension as censorship and urged ABC/Disney to reverse course. Unions are joining the fight: SAG-AFTRA, the WGA, the Directors Guild, the Producers Guild, IATSE, and the American Federation of Musicians have released statements calling the suspension an attack on free speech and a dangerous precedent for anyone working in TV. Even the ACLU has spoken out, framing the move as an alarming attempt at political censorship and a violation of First Amendment principles. Pulling a show off the air to appease political pressure isn’t just wrong — it’s risky for every voice that challenges power. This moment isn’t just about Jimmy Kimmel. It’s about whether we allow political intimidation to decide what Americans are allowed to hear, watch, or laugh at. Reinstate Jimmy Kimmel Live. Let the audience — not politicians — decide.

Trump is weakness, masquerading as strength. This is serious. Every Republican should be ashamed of this moment.

Trump is the most damaging individual in our lifetime.

Trump doesn't believe in free and fair elections

One thing has become clear over the last 7 months, ICE is Trump’s private police force — acting at the dangerous direction of Stephen Miller.

Any institution that cultivates individual or independent thinking is under assault. It’s time to wake up, America!

Mississippi’s homicide rate is 380% California’s, yet FOX NEWS refuses to cover it!

Alabama has a homicide rate 290% higher than California’s, but Fox News is choosing to ignore that.

The President is doing things TO PEOPLE. California is doing it WITH PEOPLE.

Look at the evidence. California’s efforts are showing real results.

Tennessee’s homicide rate is 220% higher than California’s, why is Fox News not covering it?

Missouri’s homicide rate is 200% higher than California’s, but you wouldn’t know that by watching FOX NEWS.
