The funniest thing I've heard in a week is that – because Disney is putting Kimmel back on air – MAGA is now cancelling *their* Disney+ subscriptions.

So sadly true. Humanity suffers at the hands of war. Divisions grow deeper as wealthy elite feed it. It is up to We the People to make sure it does not continue. #DismantleTheOligarchy #NONViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #RESIST

Kimmel going back on air as Disney bows to pressure. Push back and boycotts work! I hope far more folks do *not* resubscribe than do. I believe both the sentiments below. #RESIST

PRECEDENTS What's happening in America w/fascism & authoritarianism is not unprecedented. There are plenty of precedents. This admin has plenty to copy. Not hard to see how we will end up if WE do not act. #DismantleTheOligarchy #NONViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #RESIST

Any funding deal that continues GOP healthcare cuts or hands Trump a blank check must not pass. Democrats have real leverage in this fight, and the Republicans who control both chambers are the ones responsible for passing a bipartisan funding bill. Make sure your senators hear from you today.

So sadly true. Humanity suffers at the hands of war. Divisions grow deeper as wealthy elite feed it. It is up to We the People to make sure it does not continue. #DismantleTheOligarchy #NONViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #RESIST

1st thing comes to mind seeing these big, belching, corporate behemoths is a t-shirt made by a guy I knew, of a grizzled old Mainer holding a can of Bud, middle finger sticking straight out sideways, saying "Friggin' outta state bungholes." Coastal Maine loves tourists, but hates these polluters.

Recent events suppressing free speech got you down? I know...I feel it, too. Remember this: FASCISM IS BRITTLE. It is vulnerable to mass discontent and public pressure. Free speech is their weakness. That's where we push and keep pushing. Mass free speech protests. #EveryEffortCounts #RESIST

I agree, and publicize Maine resistance events regularly, tho massive resistance is needed nationwide, all the time, flooding the streets on a more regular basis. I wish other resistance groups were already as organized as Indivisible and No Kings. Numbers are growing, tho not fast enough. #RESIST

Do not be quiet in this moment. #RESIST through #PEACEFULProtest #NONViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts

It's disheartening as hell. The reading public has next to no place to turn to for courageous journalism.

this is incredibly true and tracks with a basic dynamic we've seen all along: the people who were cowed into submission by Trump's win were elites. regular people have never given an inch

It's true.

Yeah.
