My copy of Kamala Harris’s book just arrived this morning and I’ve already read the first two chapters. It’s lively, honest and compelling. I stopped to get to some email and watch her interview with Rachel Maddow which gave me a little head’s up into what’s coming. I think it’s on YouTube. Go see

And the corollary is: Never trust a human that animals don’t like.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos. Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel. That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

What’s good for Maga is not good for anyone else. Hypocrites.

@slidemanernie.bsky.social I get your humor and I don’t know if that’s normal or concerning.

This was one of my father’s favorite sayings. A friend forwarded it and I felt the need to pass it along.

Thought for today.

Yeah, this is pretty rich.

Every major outlet bent the knee today, giving wall-to-wall coverage to Kirk's funeral like it was state decree. This is how propaganda works: normalize the fascist, erase the truth. Don't let them gaslight you. Find independent journalism and fight back.

“Mark Ruffalo -- one of the Disney stars who pressured the company to reverse course -- told us: ‘We’re the home of the brave and the land of the free. But if we want to be free, then we gotta be brave.’ Damn, Mark, you said it.“ In solidarity, Ezra Levin, Co-Executive Director, Indivisible

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Hours after we sent a letter signed by over 450 artists and 40K others defending free speech, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel will return to air. Other companies should heed this warning: We the people are watching.

Another reason Brendan Carr is censoring free speech..

Amen and Amen!

She’s right. I don’t believe it.

I guess now they’ll be taking down any statues of Eisenhower. He was sort of a lead Antifa.

He’s like a national Rorschach test.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Hmmmm. Mistake? Or skunk works? (Google it if you missed the ‘80s.)

You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric. Dangerous times.

DISNEY: Wins 5 Emmys for ANDOR, a show about resisting fascism ALSO DISNEY: Bends the knee to the federal government and suspends Jimmy Jimmy Kimmel for resisting fascism

Working on it

NOOOooooo! 😭😭😭😭

Fascists distort the facts to crack down on their opposition. #Fascism #GOP #Kirk

America is now a Fascist nation fueled by greed. Do not accept it, fight and boycott #BoycottDisney #BoycottABC

Wow! Nailed it!

Thursday I do water aerobics then haul trash to the recycler, pick up Rxs for my geriatric and my anxiety-ridden dogs, get groceries, unload the car and put away the cold stuff. Friday morning I put away the rest. Forswunk is my Friday.

I have a beef with some Substack writers, all of whom I love and follow. Now, I am retired so you’d think I have all the time in the world. But it’s a lot to expect me to read a lengthy analysis every day let alone 2 or 3 times a day. Or listen to an hour-long podcast. I have too many subscriptions

Reassuring that they are not yet making shit up.

Just another reason to love Ukrainians (It should be a gift article but I had to use a convoluted process to send it to my phone from my computer so I don’t know if that came through.) www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...

I would really appreciate an interpretation. I know it’s Māori but I don’t know what they are chanting or what the postures mean. When I see this I feel like jumping in!

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

Because, of course. www.huffpost.com/entry/justic...

So not surprising that the people who fetishize assault rifles kill more Americans than those who don't.

🚨 Miller calls the Democrat Party a “domestic extremist organization.” Using this language conditions the public to embrace the notion that an entire political party might justify extreme actions, such as revoking civil liberties, curtailing free speech, or weaponizing security powers against them.

I just watched The Last Full Measure, a 2019 film about the effort to have Congress award the Medal of Honor to William Pitsenbarger, a Vietnam airman who heroically dropped from a helicopter in more than 250 missions to rescue wounded soldiers in the heat of battle. His commanders nominated him but

Fuck Donald Trump and his repulsive Republicans.
