You’re not going to believe this - but it’s true: @takeETSalert On Demand actually got to my destination at the actual ETA - no diversion to a faraway neighbourhood, no getting stuck in traffic. A banner day!

So, the AB government offered to pay $150/week to parents of kids 12 and under (during teacher strike). Online stats state there are around 436,000 kids in AB 12 and under.
$150 x 436,000= $65.4 million per WEEK.
Seems like a lot to pay to try and break the ATA and further weaken public education.

🚨NEW: The Trump Administration has removed President Biden’s portrait from the White House, replacing it with an autopen in a huge sign of disrespect to the office of the Presidency.

RETWEET if you stand with President Biden against Trump!

Biden-nominated FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez: "I saw the clip. [Jimmy Kimmel] did not make any unfounded claims, but he did make a joke...This sets a dangerous new precedent, and companies must stand firm against any efforts to trade away First Amendment freedoms."

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Let’s make sure everyone understands the facts with Kimmel.

As the right is trying to paint this as “at-will” termination.

-Nextar the parent company of Kimmel’s show is seeking FCC approval for a merger.

-Kimmel made comments about Trump on Monday night (months after Trump openly said he wanted to get Kimmel fired next)

-Reporting is that Trump had the FCC lean on Nextar over these comments.

-Apparently they expressly used the line “we can do this the easy way, or the hard way”

-Multiple executives at the network have on background said they “had no issue with Kimmel’s statements but the Trump threat loomed” referring to the merger.

This was *NOT* a network dissatisfied with Kimmel.

This was *NOT* a network embarrassed or horrified by what Kimmel said.

This was *NOT* a network that thought he was unfunny, or underperforming.

This was *NOT* a company freely choosing to fire an employee.

This was expressly the federal government weaponizing federal departments, in retribution for someone being critical of the President.

This is LITERALLY what the 1st Amendment exists for.

It does not protect you from private actions by private entities.

It protects you from actions by the government to censor your speech.

Whether brazen and direct, or through coercion and threat.

This is not about if Kimmel was offensive or not.

This is about speech.

Firing commentators. Canceling shows.

THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

RETWEET to demand that @Disney CEO Bog Iger reinstate Jimmy Kimmel!

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

First they came for Stephen Colbert. Now they are coming for Jimmy Kimmel. If you think it'll stop here, you are fooling yourself.

RETWEET if you stand with Kimmel and Colbert!

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

This is Craig Erwich, the President of ABC Entertainment. He has the power to put Jimmy Kimmel back on air.

RETWEET to demand @ABC reinstate Jimmy Kimmel!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Not a big fan of Jimmy Kimmel, but if you think his show should be canceled for this, you’re a hack and a total fraud who should never pretend to care about free speech

.@jeneroux the only thing your so-called “community survey” proves is the bias of the “Ihatechange” and “Getoffmylawn” people that bothered to respond. And don’t try to make it sound scientific with the accuracy nonsense - you don’t even say how many responses there were!

Liz Cheney: “Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.”
