I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

And remember: it’s not just corporations, it’s wealth however packaged that drives politics — — unless effectively constrained by law as made by and for ordinary people, not just the wealthy or the elite

Agreed! In today’s Supreme Court, Jimmy Kimmel would have an extremely strong First Amendment claim against Trump’s FCC for pressuring Disney and ABC to censor fully protected commentary by firing Kimmel. Either 8-1 or 9-0. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance. Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna. See how this works?

Please support independent journalists. It doesn’t have to be this project. There’s plenty of other folks who are also fighting the good fight. They can’t get us fired if we are supported by a small army of supporters. It’s one way we can fight back against these fascists.

You cannot celebrate Charlie Kirk as a advocate of free speech as well as Trump using the FCC to silence his critics. Pick a lane, stupids.

The one good thing about this “run America like a business” nightmare is that more people are beginning to realize how corrupt and craven many businesses truly are. Take notes. Never forget how they abandoned us. Don’t forgive their complicity.

Many of your grandparents were the original Antifa. They fought against the Nazis on the beaches of Normandy and in the forests of Ardennes. They literally helped save the world from the scourge of fascism. Today, under this regime, they would be declared terrorists. Let it sink in.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target
