We cannot wait for the markets or the midterms.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is nearly a decade old, and celebrating an anniversary this month. Thank you to the @nmaahc for showing us all why *real* history matters.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Write what you want. Embrace who you are. Forget everything else. Get lost in the art.

Collective resistance will shift their fascist behavior‼️

Say his name n remember Trey Reed! He was found lynched n police r claiming it was a suicide! #treyreed

"They came down on us because we had a grass-roots, real people's revolution, complete with the programs, complete with the unity, complete with the working coalitions, where we crossed racial lines". - Bobby Seale #GeneralStrikeUS Sign Your Strike Card.

Rep. Frost: "We cannot let the fear of speaking out become normal. We cannot allow truth telling to become a crime. And we cannot let them silence us."

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

Standing strong against “blatant censorship” from the “autocratic regime” with facts, spine, grace, humor AND a brand new Emmy 🏆‼️ #LSSC #FreeSpeech #Emmy #StandingOvation #StandingUp

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

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.

Anti-fascists always Fight for Love 💙 #Antifa #Resist #Proudly #AntiFascist

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Link arms & speak out, TOGETHER & NOW ‼️

Public action‼️ It’s what we have left when the press, Congress & SCOTUS betray us & their oaths to the Constitution. Showing up, boycotting, protesting. When we ALL push back, they retreat into their cowardice. #PeopleHaveThePower #PowerToThePeople #Resist

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Not ever. RESIST‼️

Exactly this

I just got a check for >$500 by mail from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau! They discovered a biz had overcharged me/ others, won a class action on my/ our behalf & got my money back to me. Thanks, @warren.senate.gov ‼️ #CFPB #RealMoney #justice #ForThePeople #Remove47

Here’s a song about exactly that ⚡️ open.spotify.com/track/2ZSEy6...

THE CONSTITUTION is what they all swore to uphold, but don’t. It’s more valuable & relevant than ever. Read it, defend it, get ready to amend it. #NoKings #Treason #TheConstitution #ConstitutionDay #LiveUp #FightforLove

on this day in 1849 "Harriet Tubman escaped from the Southern plantation where she was enslaved and later led other enslaved people to freedom in the North along the route of the Underground Railroad."

As an Indie artist myself, I’m grateful to Robert Redford for his inspiring performances, & especially for his meaningful commitment to helping indie artists. A thoughtful man who cared about others, our country & our planet. RIP #Sundance #Indie #Environmentalist

Fearless Truth Teller, Stephen Colbert, receives a thunderous standing ovation at the Emmys. 👏👏👏

Corporation for Public Broadcasting: "In times of cultural regression they remind us of what's at stake & what can still be achieved. Neutrality is not enough. Let's make sure storytelling is not a platform for the privileged, but a public good for all." Cris Abrego, Television Academy Chair #Emmys

I know this may sound weird but you can definitely tell when someone doesn’t read.

The type of speech most punished in this society is that which consists of telling the truth about how the powerful have harmed you

We're all going through an emotional time; me included. Be kind to each other friends.

Sound ON. Wish more white guys were like this.

Not too late…

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Once again, I'm struck by the fact that the one thing all these shooters have in common is, uh, the guns?

💯

#BrianKilmeade is a violent lunatic. Suggesting the SYSTEMIC KILLING of unhoused Americans is INSANELY DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE. We already know Faux News is destroying America. Is there no limit⁉️

Self care is a fantastic and important form of protest. Stay 🆙, beauties 💙

👀👀👀 I can't help but see a pattern here.
