This is horrifying. Also, why were there ~10 people videoing this but no one helping her? (The video may not show the complete scene)

This is some 🐄💩 Because that is not how my Congressional reps (and the rest of Congress) allocated MY tax dollars. I hope there is a whole parade of lawyers willing to fight this… which is a good reminder to donate to PP. Please consider joining me.

Competent women sure do enrage a certain group of male trolls. If 1/2 the time they spend trashing women online was redirected to learning something about the way the world works, we would all be better off. Also, since AI is a miracle cure, why can’t it moderate out those comments?

I’m reading The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million, a personal account of finding out what happened to the author’s relatives who did not leave Eastern Europe before WWII It is fascinating to read given the current political climate.

Kimmel had a larger audience/more visibility in popular culture, but the silencing of journalists matters more to democracy. Black journalists have a different and critical perspective because of their livid experience in this country. Racism is fundamental to why we are in this situation.

John Oliver is brilliant - and a funny, funny man

Even with 20% of ABC stations still boycotting his show, I love this for Fat Satan.”

I can totally get behind the nickname Fat Satan 🤣

Here’s hoping 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Ha

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

🔥🔥🔥

We all win! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My daughter is a high school sophomore - I don’t know how they are in the classroom but she is with friends or talking to friends constantly. Her friends stop by the house and hang out. They seem… normal (given the crazy environment. I am glad Covid hit in 4th grade for her.

As a child of the Reagan years, the fact that the *Republican Party* is expropriating shares in companies and shaking companies down while saying stuff like this is wild

I’ve been wondering this for awhile and none of the options I come up with are good.

America, you break my heart.

This aligns with what my college international relations professor suggested in a conversation 3-4 months ago. My follow-on question: Are there examples of a thriving and dominant world power sabotaging itself?

Crying (complimentary)

“Stark, raving mad” sums it up the state of our President succinctly. He wants a fantasy world, where he is in charge of the game controller. The language/diction is fascinating. I, I, I…

"Let's stop letting politicians tell us what they want and tell them what we want." Jimmy Kimmel (tonight)

😂😂😂👇🏼

Let’s Go!

Why is this happening? I’ll explain. If the FCC approves Nexstar’s merger deal, the company’s reach would increase from 39% to more than 80% of US households. But the deal ALSO depends on the FCC eliminating the current 39% cap on reach. Sinclair has been lobbying for this change as well.

Without money, living in rural America, this family would qualify as “trailer trash.” (I generally do not support the use of the term because it has nothing to do with trailers or economic circumstances… hence the Musk family)

Abolish ICE

This looks quite interesting - and right up my alley!

I keep thinking I have seen the last of the cutting flowers for the year but they keep coming 😍

The collective success of pressuring Disney to re-instate Jimmy Kimmel give me hope, because it showed us what we can do when we do it together. It reminds me of the Margaret Wheatley quote: “There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”

This is an excellent example of timely crisis communications and top-notch science communication. The team should be congratulated for this. Hopefully their comms and social teams will be supported to handle what comes their way. Customer-facing digital roles need tangible support.

I think this is a metaphor for the 💩 show Priorities: - Do whatever the eff you want, even if it illegal, if you are a white man. - Own stock in high-margin pharma companies that some people really need. - Sow doubt in relatively inexpensive /low-margin medication that benefits many.

Taking down Sinclair or reducing their power would be a great win for democracy.

We Brought Kimmel Back in 6 Days. Now Let’s Destroy Sinclair’s Censorship Machine. medium.com/@carmitage/w...

The most important thing to know about Trump’s acetaminophen announcement is that the GOP is still hiding the Epstein files

I am trying to keep track of things. Does anyone have an update on those deported illegally to CECOT? I think we need a wiki that mirrors the federal government bureaucracy and keeps track of all the sh*t going on. Like Wikipedia - but just for gov’t accountability - and can be sorted by date.

Caption: This is how you feel alive. I had to look it up on the map, just to verify 🥴 Also: How you keep ICE from directly recruiting Massachusetts State Police 😛

WE the people Keep giving those in control “feedback” on how we feel. You may all resubscribe to Disney++ 😀

Couldn’t help responding to this LinkedIn post that this is monopolistic and anti-competitive. Absolutely no recognition that this “frictionless consumption” is crap for consumers, the economy, and the planet.

Not only is the supermom expectation damaging to women, it is damages children who do not have the space to learn about/ listen to themselves. It creates codependency and damages emotional security. But to Jess’s point is an opportunity for women to feel empowered in a world that shuts them down.

Less than 100 years ago.

Happy Rosh Hashanah to those celebrating tonight. May the new year be an improvement.

None of us can have nice things because most of us don’t believe women - and actively distrust Black women. Now, here we are, with a basket of deplorables running the country. Next time, believe her - and by her, I mean any woman who says something you may not have seen or experienced yourself.

You know, we could actually *test* more medicine for its impact on pregnancy. What I discovered was most medication was not advised while pregnant but only a small portion have been trialed. I was told not to take NyQuil (I think because of trace amounts of alcohol 🙄) but no one actually knew.

Bob Iger has a real chance to be a hero here and say “Fuck you. Make me.” to the FCC by reinstating Kimmel. I’ll sign back up for Disney+ if he does. Until then, keep canceling your subscriptions!

Many people never knew this or have forgotten.

Other Democratic leaders need to take notes. Decide which side you are on. The choice is stark; if you are not openly against authoritarianism, you are for it. No one is going to rally behind that.

Love it or hate it… it is pumpkin-spice-everything season!

I am reading an autobiography from an American Jewish man who spent decades piecing together his family history. Most immigrated prior to WWII but one uncle stayed in Poland with his family. They were murdered by the Nazis. No one would discuss them, other to say how lovely they were. Cont.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
