The capitulation of major U.S. institutions to Donald Trump is smartly observed in this astute column. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/07/stephen-colbert-cancelled-cbs-trump-paramount/

@heidilifeldman Dang. Do you suppose it is time now to forgive him for Death Taxes and Hillary?
@heidilifeldman we really would be better off if more orgs and institutions called his bluff, it we’re seeing how many will eagerly capitulate
@heidilifeldman No wonder Trump hates PBS. He wants all TV to be state owned like in China.
@heidilifeldman Just wrote a reply to George Takei's post about this: Skydance is funded by MAGA billionaire Larry Ellison (Oracle founder) and the idea is most likely to turn CBS into a second FOX-like propaganda platform.
This Motherjones piece doesn't peek behind the curtain!
@heidilifeldman 'Collaboration' would be a better word to use here than 'capitualtion.'

*THERE SEEMS TO BE NO BOUNDARIES THAT EVIL ANTICHRIST TRUMP!*& HIS WICKED HELPERS WON'T TREAD!
@heidilifeldman HBO has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and having both John Oliver and Stephen Colbert.
@heidilifeldman
How many warnings are needed in the end?
Science, culture, law, ... all compromised already.
@heidilifeldman
Hey, Netflix, I hear that Stephen Colbert's going to be available soon!

@heidilifeldman Agree, but these people have earned enough to be able to broadcast their messages trough independent platforms. They are quite old and don't need more money.
@heidilifeldman Actually, I was quite surprised that #Colbert, #Kimmel and #Meyers et al had managed to survive for so long. Italy’s aspiring dictator, Silvio #Berlusconi had anyone who dared criticise him removed. It’s no surprise #Trump is doing the same. #authoritarianism
@heidilifeldman yay fascism
@heidilifeldman Next targets Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers? Now THAT would be dire!
