Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦 WILL NOT COMPLYSep 20, 2025

We’ve already seen this government force the suppression of voices it doesn’t like.

Now Red Don and his minions are imposing prior restraint on the #press.

We’re about 2 minutes away from a reich-wing crackdown on all opposing voices, the disappearing of resistance figures, and the forcible re-education of dissenters.

All with the collaboration of those in the #law and in #media who may once have been able to put a halt to this #fascist blitzkrieg.

Now it’s up to the rest of us to #rise: #Protest. #Vote. #Resist.

Former MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd is calling out his ex-colleagues for “selective outrage”—condemning Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension while staying silent about his own firing. Dowd notes that Morning Joe’s hosts decried the Kimmel controversy but publicly backed MSNBC’s decision to fire him for saying Charlie Kirk’s “hateful words” led to his fatal shooting. He criticized MSNBC for not standing up for free speech within their own ranks, pointing to hypocrisy in the network’s response. Dowd apologized after his termination, making clear he opposes all violence. Is this double standard in media accountability?
