Lets rise together in enlightenment. Everything and everyone is connected. Be kind. Defend truth. Have humanity.
This is a really good point. Aside from our collective loss of Stephen on air, there is a cadre of dedicated people who make this happen. Stephen will no doubt land on his feet running. But how will this impact all those behind the scenes?
Sorry to hear @CBS is canceling one of the best shows they have. Wishing all the people who work so hard on that show all the best. @colbertlateshow
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
We had a political assassination in America six days ago and nobody's even talking about it anymore. To hell with this 24-hour news cycle bullshit
Happy Birthday. A great day to celebrate our Army, and our right to protest Donald Trump’s efforts to change the nature of the country it defends. From my new home at Substack. substack.com/@terrymoran/no…
Two thoughts: 1. No doubt Vance is evil but more calculating smart evil. It will be less reckless and more targeted, which may be easier to combat 2. Trump is the glue that holds MAGA together. Without him I expect a bloodbath amongst the minions to be the new figurehead
Just a reminder: JD Vance is waiting in the wings for Republicans to realize that Trump needs to be removed. He won’t be an improvement— just a different kind of evil— and make no mistake, he’s evil.
True facts are true #ImpeachTrumpNOW
Just a reminder of what real leadership looks like
During crises, President @JoeBiden would spend hours calling elected officials — from senators and governors to local county commissioners — just to ask how he could help. Party didn’t matter. People did. I saw it with my own eyes. That's what real leadership looks like.
Like many other legacy media outlets, @ABC has failed to meet the challenge of our times, and in doing so becomes complicit in the authoritarian undermining of our democracy. The vile inhumanity of this administration must be called out, and @TerryMoran had the courage to do so.
Being undocumented is a civil, not criminal violation. The violent actions being taken by ICE are performative and not at all warranted.
For all the talk about “defeating the left,” what do MAGA supporters actually expect? That half the country will just give in or leave? The left isn’t going anywhere—and won’t live under authoritarian rule. At some point, we need to start seeking common ground.
This really encapsulates my Twitter experience. Ugh.
I get on Twitter and it’s just all “lol Trump should be the pope” “lol we raised a lady $500K for calling a kid a n*gg*r” “lol Trump 2028” Yeah my dad’s looking for work for the first time in 3 decades. Prices have only gotten higher. Constitutions in the shitter. You’re…
Standing up to the crazies on social media isn’t about changing their minds, it’s about showing those who are watching that someone will push back. Call out the bullies. Call out the hate. Call out the lies.
🚨NEW: 4th Circuit unanimously rejects Trump request to halt proceedings in Mr. Abrego Garcia's case. Reagan appointee Wilkinson writes that the Trump admin's position is "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans ... still hold dear."

Well we've done a great job at shifting the narrative to Teslas and annexing Greenland. So much for #climateaction We won't need to burn in hell. We can do it right here.
