Stephen Colbert just took a flamethrower to Trump’s censorship circus.
While Jimmy Kimmel’s studio gets stripped bare under pressure from Trump’s FCC chair, Colbert claps back, animated and unapologetic.
Late-night resistance is alive. For now.
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.
We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech.
We, the People, deserve better.
