🚨 do you understand what happened to Stephen Colbert..
24 hours after his final Late Show, Colbert hijacked a tiny public access channel in Monroe, Michigan with Jack White, Eminem, Jeff Daniels and Steve Buscemi.
Now Paramount - the company that just cancelled his show - is mass-blocking every reupload worldwide via Content ID. And the deeper you dig, the worse it looks:
- The finale pulled 6.74M viewers - a weeknight record over 11 years
- Eminem cameoed as "Marshall, the fire marshal" to greenlight torching the set
- The same day Trump posted an AI video of throwing Colbert into a dumpster, Colbert aired footage of himself burning a real one
- Mayday Network and verified journalist Matthew Keys both got blocked globally - for sharing a community access show
Paramount cancelled his show to silence him. Instead they handed him a Streisand-effect comeback 10x bigger than the show ever was.
I spent the last week digging through old articles and studies on racist policy like segregation, redlining, war on drugs etc.
It’s SHOCKING how many “.gov” addresses and resources now end in “404 not found”
They’ve deleted so much nobody realizes is gone.
I'm going to try to watch this film, because the Indonesian gov't is lying about what's happening to the Papuan people. For years the Indigenous people of West Papua, Sumatra and other regional islands have been protesting against land theft for colonial agricultural expansion.
Martha Stewart went to prison for saving herself $45,673 using an illegal stock tip.
Donald Trump traded stocks 3,700 times between Jan—Mar of this year, totaling between $220–$750 million, and used the presidency to make his stocks go up… And he’s walking around a free man.
We cannot let this happen. Our media and everything we enjoy watching will be controlled by the Trump Administration. We must rally against this.
One of the first things that tend to happen under a dictatorship is controlling and censoring the media.
An important rule of thumb. If a revolt is a genuine revolt for the people, to increase the power of the people, global media will ignore and suppress it.
If a revolt is organised and funded by US imperialism to overthrow an inconvenient or opposing govt, it will be everywhere.
“Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it.”
The most unnerving thing about these horrific reports of sexual assault is that, if I had to guess, the Israelis escalated their aggression towards these activists in response to the (limited) outrage generated by the Kristof investigation, especially among some previous sympathizers.
The Israelis have shown repeatedly, esp throughout their extermination in Gaza, how pathological they are with regards to sexual violence - and so it’s not out of turn to consider that it’s a society where exposure of their own sexual violence doesn’t provoke shame or restraint, but a need to double down and inflict even more similar violence.
they committed another gang rape months later, filmed and degraded both victims—and court still explicitly painted the rapists as young boys that didn't understand consent.
please remind yourself in perpetuity that judges are nothing but cops with higher degrees.
