Boycott Disney/HULU/ESPN I’ve canceled my subscriptions to Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN. Instead, I recommend supporting PBS Passport — just $5/month and a direct investment in independent public broadcasting, especially critical now after GOP-led funding cuts.
They're all worried about their jobs If anything, Kimmel is a reminder on how dispensable they are... It's up to every day 🇺🇸ns to use their hard earned cash to loudly state that it's unacceptable... Stop feeding the machine It exists solely bc folks prop it up
This was the scene outside the studio a couple of hours ago.
DC Comics? So Superman's shaking hands with nazis now instead of punching them...
The only weapon we have now is our money and our clicks. Boycott and disengage. We know who they are. Don’t watch, don’t go, don’t click, don’t spend a nickel on any business or state that supports the evil regime.
WGA has already started. Protest going on now.
Don't forget CBS/PARAMOUNT/SKYDANCE. We can bankrupt them all if we fight. We have the power to turn them off. That's a lot of money spent on new programming for this new season that no one's going to watch. Show them who's the boss and #BoycottThemAll and Show NBC what will happen if they cave too.
i lived in Paris for a close to two decades and i can tell you the French really understand the power of a strike, the whole city would grind to a halt in a matter of hours. it was actually good to see how easily it was to remind those in "power" who really has the power.
At some point we'll be calling for a national strike to shut everything down. It's been suggested many times, but not enough people have been in enough pain, I guess, to actually carry one out.
If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn’t have bothered to write it into the Constitution…. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth.” -Heather Cox Richardson
Its not the movies where Disney makes it money, thats a drop in the ocean. It makes it real money from the parks and resorts, merchendise and pay tv. Boycott the parks, dont by the merch and unsub from Disney+ and ESPN.
I simply cannot believe what is happening to the USA. It has become the worst 1984 style dystopian state in just nine months. Once the greatest democracy in the world it has become a one party autocratic state. It will drag the whole world down.
Everyone in this country should boycott ALL the media who cave to this intimidation. Cancel Hulu, Disney, and stop watching ABC, etc. Turn off the TV and play a board game with your kids, have a meaningful conversation with your partner or a friend, go for a walk, take a nap. F**k them!
All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.
MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
Lately it feels like the door to an entire era of America has been finally and irrevocably closed.

Imagine hating me & I’m just sitting here hoping everyone gets healthcare, a hot meal & an education. I’m a monster
POTUS, to a reporter this morning: "We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your heart. Maybe they'll have to go after you." The DOJ is now primed to target anyone saying *anything* that hurts the prez's feelings.
Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.
Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.
Education is the enemy of fascism.
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.
White supremacist groups have been active. This isn't the first lynching. There's been a couple that MSM has ignored. Scary part is there isn't a functioning DOJ, FBI, or CIA anymore. Scary times.
A 21 year old Black Man was founding hanging from a tree in MS and local law enforcement doesn’t seem to give a shit. Does the name Emmitt still ring any bells? Black people DO NOT hang themselves from trees, even if they have suicidal ideation. We know the trauma that causes other Black people
Not surprising on either note
If I could I'd get rid of every piece of technology invented after 1980. Unfortunately, it has become so ingrained in every facet of society, we can't do that. Communications, money transactions (food, shelter, etc) education, health care--all depend on electronic gadgets.
OpEd by @jimalwine.bsky.social and me asking Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs to take control of all vaccines and to join The Rebellion…err..the West Coast Health Alliance along with CA, WA, OR, and HI.
We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

Stay focused.
Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.
Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.
We’ve seen a reduction in overdose deaths in CO including a 35% drop in fentanyl deaths last year. But Trump’s OBBB threatens that progress. I’m working on a bill to ensure CO & 37 other states can keep using Medicaid to cover substance use treatment—it’s medical care." https://dpo.st/4mjGSKq

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.
New Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) members just dropped in advance of the meeting Friday. They are exactly what you would expect from RFK Jr. and this does not bode well for continued access to COVID19 vaccines.
Universal childcare is on the ballot this November — but you don't need to wait to take action. Sign the @ny4childcare.bsky.social petition below calling for full-day care for NYC two-year-olds.
Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech." Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)
For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
Platner: I think Collins has tried to create this charade in which she’s always the moderate voice in the room. But that’s nonsense, and everybody knows it’s nonsense. Susan Collins does not represent the interests of working Mainers
Well, it'll give me something to do... [sarcasm]
Wow, only about a million died during Covid and there were refrigerator trucks outside hospitals keeping bodies from rotting. There must be millions of bodies rotting in the streets now. Zombie apocalypse anyone?
Rep. Jim Himes: "Look at your senator, look at your governor, look at your member of congress — if they didn't say 'Deep breath, calm down. In this country, we don't have enemies, we have people who disagree with us, and that's a strength of this country,' then fire them."
At an art exhibition showcasing a renowned weaver there is tea and coffee in pretty pots as well as plates of ginger crunch, raisin bread and pikelets with home made jam. Plants being swapped to the side. The room full of people cheerfully talking art, food and gardening. This is community. (5)
All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡
Authoritarianism thrives on silence. Every right surrendered, every cruelty excused, becomes tomorrow’s regret. History won’t ask what was done to us—but why we failed to rise before it was too late.
Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."
So Kilmeade issues a weak apology about giving homeless people lethal injections and Fox just moves on with zero consequences. As usual.
It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot
“We got him!” Really? That’s the line? His father turned him in. You received him.
Republicans often claim "guns aren't the problem, it's mental illness." Yes, mental health is a major problem in America — which is why we should fund programs to address it. But all countries deal with mental illness. Yet they don't suffer from the scourge of gun violence like the U.S.
Our silence isn’t empty it’s filled with the truth everyone already sees. Their comments and reactions have already revealed everything, two very different responses in different moments. We’ve read, we’ve seen, and we know you see the truth too.
it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient
Indeed we do.
Direct & on point! This says everything that needs to be said. However, I am sure the media space will spin this for another week (at least). ☕️😎👍
So let's take an actual Christian approach to the person who killed Charlie Kirk, but declare war on half of the country?
where does the left go to get its apology
If you're celebrating the killing of Charlie Kirk, you've failed basic love of country & basic human decency. If you're using the killing of Charlie Kirk to attack certain groups of people & to declare “war on the left,” you've failed basic love of country & basic human decency.
NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.
Just a reminder that someone who dislikes 'antifascist' ideas is a fascist; hence, the enemy of a free society. Thank you for attending my 9th grade vocabulary lesson
JUST IN: Brazil’s top court sentences former President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and 3 months in prison over his attempted coup
The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.
We recently posted about this proposed data center in Menomonie to raise awareness, and now we want to help share their petition. We’re also hearing from other communities facing similar battles to protect their neighborhoods, community health, and local environment and wildlife.
No one is safe from gun violence in America. We do not have to keep living like this. Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.
NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.
RIP Charlie Kirk. May all who mourn find solace in knowing that he believed gun deaths were “worth it,” “prudent,” and “rational.”
I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today: Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.
Last post tonight. We aren't supposed to speculate out loud but you asked. I can't tell you who the Charlie Kirk shooter might be, but I have a guess who it isn't, a lefty. I don't think anyone on the left cared enough about Kirk to do this. He just wasn't that important. Goodnight.
Where was this MAGA outrage when State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman (and dog), were killed, and State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman were shot? Where was this MAGA outrage with Sandy Hook? Where was this MAGA outrage with Uvalde? Pelosi? Etc…
The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
"Oh please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word." Elizabeth Warren to a journalist asking her about Dems needing to tone down their rhetoric
I do not support what happened to Charlie Kirk but Charlie Kirk supported what happened to Charlie Kirk.
Thoughts and prayers--for what THEY'RE worth...
What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨
Trump blaming Democrats for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi is like a sexual predator blaming the victi….. oh
“Canonizing Charlie Kirk with a Presidential Medal of Freedom is like giving a Michelin star to Taco Bell, a Nobel Prize to a flat-earther, or naming your dog ‘Einstein’ because it can sit. Absolute clown-tier absurdity.”
The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.
Today, we mourn the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001. We also come together to honor the brave heroes, like our first responders, who risked their lives that tragic day to save countless others. Their sacrifice can never be repaid. We will never forget.
Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
We must end the scourge of gun violence in America. We also need to have honest conversations about the ways internet platforms profit from fear, hatred, and division. Both are vital to the future of this country.
