While fighting for Kimmel, please don't forget others who've been punished for speaking truth to power. Karen Attiah was fired from The Washington Post for her posts on Bluesky.

I cancelled my WaPo subscription last year, but for those who still subscribe, why? You could spend your media dollars elsewhere!

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced.

Two Bluesky posts from Karen Attiah dated Sept. 10:
1 - "For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country... Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on."

2 - "Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence." — Two Bluesky posts from Karen Attiah dated Sept. 10: 1 - "For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country...
