There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The most impactful way to complain about Kimmel. Fellow Portlanders: We do have a Sinclair station, and it's katu.com (ABC). (Reposting for alt-text).

A post by Dan Satterfield

Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel.

The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact?
See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.
2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week.
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts.
4. Call them and let them know you will
boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.
Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
