We need to keep the economic pressure on Disney. If Sinclair continues to preempt Kimmel, they will likely violate their ABC affiliate contracts. After a cure period, if Sinclair and others fail to remedy, Disney could potentially pull their ABC franchise. Stay the course. Boycott Disney.

If you're in a market with a Sinclair owned ABC affiliate, they will not be broadcasting Kimmel. Please don't reinstate your Disney accounts. Keep the pressure on. Maybe they'll lose their affiliate status. Looking at you Seattle. ( Given Disney perfidy we're a long way from renewing our Hulu )

Will I go back to Disney accessory Hulu if Kimmel is reinstated? Certainly not soon. Like the WP and NYT, that I also cancelled, once they show you who they are, the trust is gone. I’d need to see some fundamental changes, including management and policy before even considering it.

Just canceled Hulu. There’s some shows I’m going to miss, but fuck ABC,Disney,ESPN, Paramount and the rest of MAGA media. Your money, and where you spend it, is a powerful voice, especially when done in concert with others.

If the right thinks people’s lack of empathy and criticism of CK is bad, just wait until the orange shitgibbon goes. Flags will be at staff and a half.

"We're not Republicans", should not be enough to get you elected in America. Democrats need to articulate a clear path to working class prosperity in their platform. There is a seed change happening in our country and those politicians that recognize and embrace it will find enthusiastic voters.

I’m a boomer and a practical man. I will vote blue no matter who (with a few exceptions) in the next general elections. I will vote for and donate only to progressive candidates in the primaries. I won’t donate to the Democratic party until their “big” tent includes progressives.

Someday soon, if we don't speak out and rise up en masse, innocent citizens will die at the hands of federal troops and an American city, maybe Chicago, will become our nation's Alamo. We've witnessed their lawlessness and lack of human decency, they will stop at nothing to destroy our country.

If this country actually operated on the principle that you are innocent until proven guilty, Trump committed murder via a mass shooting in the Caribbean. The US has become a lawless, terrorist state.

Scream this story from the rooftops. And again. And again.

If Democrat electeds refuse to fight, we need to get new Democrats. We have primarys for a reason.

It's not enough that Dems want to run on "We're not republicans". They need a platform that moves us forward. Universal healthcare, living wages, consumer protection, childcare support, and no one in this country goes without food or housing. Accountability for ICE crimes. Yeah, release the files

When, and if, the redacted Epstein files emerge, we must assume every redacted name is Trump’s, and every redacted crime or act is the rape of a child.

This is one of the worst Epstein takes I've heard. No, he won't be impeached but every congressperson, every senator who supports him, will need to explain that to their constituents come elections. Dems need to make "He may be a pedo, but he's our pedo" an impossible hill for them to climb.

If our country survives, if an accurate history is written, satirists and comedians will, deservingly, get far more credit than the corporate media, or feckless politicians we were supposed to rely on. www.reddit.com/r/popculture...

A good way to honor Colbert's courage would be to boycott Paramount's Naked Gun coming out 8/01/25. Should never have been made. I like Liam Neeson but he's no Leslie Nielsen. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Corporate media will only serve the public interest when it aligns with, or is non detrimental to, their interests. Defunding PBS & NPR cripples one of our most important informational safeguards.

The #ICE budget is the holy grail of corruption. Billions will be handed out to the most nefarious corporate players in the country. Theft, fraud & human suffering will be rampant but protected and hidden by Trump and his minions, because the house always gets its cut.

The massive expansion of the ICE budget is probably the greatest opportunity for GOP grifters this country has ever seen. The levels of theft, fraud, corruption, and abuse will be staggering. The largest criminal organization to ever exist, funded on the lives & health of children and the poor.

The GOP would do well to remember Yamamoto's quote after Pearl Harbor. "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve". Most Americans, especially those under 40, understand the deep & tragic failures of our system. Those that don't, soon will. FAFO

May her, and every republican's, dreams be haunted by the faces of the children they neglect, starve, and let die with this abomination of a bill.

Reporters need to start asking the 1% if they are comfortable with people dying so that they can pay less taxes.

If the Democratic establishment works to undermine Mamdani like they did David Hogg, they risk losing the under 45 vote. Not to the GOP, rather to 3rd parties or angry apathy. The Overton Window has moved left among young voters. The Dem establishment needs to embrace that. It’s a good thing.

I'm a 76 year old Boomer, living nearly a full continent away from NYC but tonight, feeling like they're my people. It's past time for Democrats to rise up and, not just accept the old status quo, rather fight for progressive change in our country. Tax the rich, feed the poor, do the right thing.

Billionaires are parasites:

Billionaires are parasites part 4: Undocumented workers contribute around $98 billion net to the Federal budget through taxes, yearly. The top 25 billionaires $2.72 billion total. The undocumented, unlike billionaires, actually work, performing the vital services our nation needs.

With resistance to US involvement in Israel’s elective war growing, the potential for false flag attacks increases. It’s a strategy that's been used by Israel before. We must remain skeptical about the source of attacks on US interests. Further reading here: www.reddit.com/r/samharris/...

More honest reporting from NK than NYT. I hope this is an accurate translation. 🤣

Uplifting AF at a time it was needed. Port Townsend WA stands up! Drone footage I shot at today's event. As I posted earlier over a 2k turnout, 20% of our city's population to #protest not just peacefully, but joyfully. Thanks to #indivisible for organizing.

Got the drone out again for our local No Kings protest. Over 2k turned out in our 10k community. Thanks to #Indivisible for organizing it.

How the attack on Russian strategic aircraft happened: a video appeared online 1/4

Before we put Signalgate in the trash bin of history, a reminder of its unexplored consequences. A hacker was able to gain access to names, email addresses, and passwords for Telemessage, the archiving Israeli version of Signal used by Pete Hegseth, in 15- 20 minutes. WTF! youtu.be/hFgdISy8hnI?...

Birth right citizenship is not unlike due process. If it is denied to anyone, it can be denied to everyone.

Clear AF: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

We have gangs of faceless masked men roaming our streets kidnapping and trafficking vulnerable persons. It’s time local and state police crack down on these criminals. Arrest ICE & make America safe again.

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

It’s to the point at which if you yell “That piece of shit!” In public, even strangers know who you mean and wonder, what the fuck did he do now?

There are, at least, a couple of generations of young voters for which a Dem promise for a return to “normal” will not be enough. Because that would still mean no healthcare, unaffordable housing, education and childcare. At a bare minimum, any Dem agenda must insure those elements.

This isn’t even everything. Imagine how much worse it would be if we’d stayed silent. Keep speaking up. Keep protesting. Keep calling. Keep writing. Keep posting—because it all matters. Part II

So heartening to have this kind of turnout in our town, especially on Easter weekend. I shot footage on the ground and in the air. About 1200 participants at its peak. Lots of waves and support from the traffic driving by. I'm very lucky to live in WA. Something I appreciate more every day.

Another weekend in my amazing Blue community. ~1200 came out to express their support for Due Process & the Rule of Law. That's ~ 12% of our city's population. Here's one of my drone images. Video to follow eventually.

Nothing changes until electeds fear the wrath of their voters more than the wrath of dear leader. Be angry, be loud, be heard.

Billionaires are parasites, by the numbers: if you are a median wage earner, currently $19.24 per hour, work 40 hours per week,52 weeks a year, it will only take you 24,988 years to have a gross income of a billion dollars. (50% of US workers make $20 per hour or less)

Unfortunately, we don’t often elect actual leaders to congress. Rather, poll watchers. Any initiatives, outside traditional party norms, can only be brought to fruition through massive public support. That’s why demonstrations are critical. April 19th we must, again, show congress the way.

At what point does the feckless compliance of the GOP with trump’s treasonous destruction of our country become criminal complicity? Can accountability ever emerge from the chaos? Only if we fight and win. As always, history will be written by the winners. So, fight on with righteous anger.

Took my drone out to document today's Hand's Off protest in my wonderfully blue home town. Over 1600 real patriots came out in our community of 10k. So proud of the PNW and PT. Music by Scott Holmes (Creative Commons)

Be careful out there today. Stay aware. Don’t engage with provocateurs. Trump wants violence so he can crack down on protesters. Don’t give it to him. Channel your inner Gandhi. But, absolutely, do get out there and make your voice heard.

Some say Booker's 25 hour speech was performative. It was. That's political rhetoric. What's important is the truth behind the performance. This wasn't a dramatic reading of the phone book. Cory Booker spoke truth with heart, integrity, and the facts to back it up. It was the performance we needed.
