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

"After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like," Obama has said.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social should have been on that ticket.

Delighted that USA Today published my opinion piece today on @americanprogress.bsky.social's plan to undo Citizens United through state corporation laws.

I can’t believe I read this guys book

@everytown.bsky.social built a (depressing but essential) tool America has needed for decades, and everyone ought to bookmark it.

Why Charlie Kirk Had No Counterpart on the Left Over the past decade, Kirk built an entirely new infrastructure for the GOP.

THIS is the conversation I want to have

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.

How much longer are we, the people going to tolerate a government that is actively working against us?

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

Just holding this election will need to count as a win
