Speaker after speaker at this memorial is explicitly likening him to Jesus Christ. (Slain in early 30s, etc.) Don't know how this goes over with people raised in other faiths. Having been raised as a church-going Protestant Christian, I say: What the hell! This is not how Christians talk.

Regimes think twice before escalating repression if they know it only ends up growing the opposition. We need your help to make No Kings Day as big, powerful and effective as possible. Please pitch in if you can to support safety and security training, event promotion, and marches in anchor cities.

While ppl are boycotting Disney a reminder that Sinclair and Nexstar are also the problem. They started this. Canceling Disney subscriptions hurts Disney but does nothing to Sinclair/Nexstar. We also need to boycott companies that advertise on Nexstar and Sinclair stations.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

BREAKING: Border Czar Tom Homan Caught On Tape Last Year By FBI Undercov... youtu.be/jpcmLYRaq0I?... It's always the ones with the cute face who end up being so deceptive.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

We now have 1,500 nonviolent protests planned on October 18, with hundreds more expected soon. Ensuring all those events and organizers have the training, support, and resources they will need is a massive undertaking. If you can, chip in today to make the No Kings protests massive and historic.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

RFKjr is deliberately trying to cull Americans in large numbers. Scientific and rational thought can reach no other conclusion.

49 to go.

Just to say, there are indeed good use-cases for digital IDs, but immigration enforcement is absolutely *not* one of them.

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

Journalists at the Pentagon now must pledge not to report anything that hasn’t been approved by Pete Hegseth. The only way to protect our rights from Trump’s regime is to exercise our rights. Join the largest peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

The Trump regime is slashing funding, ending free speech and academic freedoms in universities and higher education across the country including the University of Minnesota. Stand up with us at our Bridge Brigade on Tues, 9/23, 4:30pm. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblet...

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

We’re fighting back with our voices and our wallets — because no wannabe king can match the power we wield when millions of us take action together: indivisible.org/government-c... #BoycottDisneyABC

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It's very important for our democracy that many people in this regime go to prison during the coming era of truth, reconciliation, and accountability.

Blowing up boats in the Caribbean without any legal authority risks dragging the United States into another war, and provoking attacks against American citizens. I'm getting ready to force a vote with @kaine.senate.gov to ensure Congress' power to declare war is not so easily trampled.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

The empire has stricken back now we must rise! Support the actions happening across the country, September 21st by going to boycottdisneyabc.com - see toolkit with details on how to continue the pressure on Disney and its affiliates, like Hulu, ESPN, Sinclair, and Nexstar Media. #boycottdisneyabc

The many can indeed take on the money.

Guys like this are almost always crooks in addition to be degenerates and abusers. Yet another reason for the opposition to remind everyone. No one stays in power forever. The time will come.

An antidote to despair and cynicism -- academics studying countries facing autocratic takeovers document that more than half of these episodes lead to "U-turns" and more than 90% result in strengthened democracies. Up to us to make it so! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

this bitch

Interesting

And we can do even BETTER!!! If you already cancelled yours, tell a friend 😎 #cancelDisney #cancelHulu #jimmykimmel

We need a lot more of this and not just on health recommendations but on "hard" features of state sovereign power. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

🧵 Yesterday, the House passed Republicans’ government funding proposal, which does nothing to protect healthcare or stop Trump’s illegal power grabs. Only one Democrat (Rep. Golden) voted yes before the House GOP announced they were going into recess to try & jam the Senate with a shutdown deadline.

If we don’t speak up, the regime will only become more emboldened to target comedy, opinions, and news they don’t like. None of us will be free to dissent. None of us will be able to speak our minds. Join a peaceful protest to make it clear that America has NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Wow. From an article in The Guardian.

If ever speak now or forever hold your peace was apt...

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

Disney are going to end up looking *really* stupid for overreacting.

SUNDAY: We’re offering a training on how to identify, defuse, and prevent the spread of political violence. By standing up in defense of democracy and in opposition to violence, we spread the courage for more to do so.

I am personally biased but I do feel that Ezra Levin is objectively the best Ezra

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

this is sort of what I was alluding to in today's BackChannel. Trump gets such a bad press he needs special control over political speech to avoid getting too sad. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-a...

This has been baffling to watch as a reporter outside the WH. Standing up for your counterparts from other orgs is just something to do as a good person and also important to stand up for our profession generally. We’ve learned that being a quisling will not save you or your org!

I love seeing people supporting PBS with their newly loosened up Disney+ dollars.

This is what actual freedom of speech looks like — join in www.nokings.org

Apparently Brendan Carr thinks comedy is dangerous. If you'd like to report a First Amendment violation, start here: 📞 1-888-225-5322 🖥️ www.fcc.gov/about/leadership/... Ask if jokes are allowed again yet.

“Disney is run by human beings. Some of those human beings are cowards. Those cowards don’t want to be named and shamed, and if you do that effectively, they will shift their behavior.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Cancel fascism and reinstate Kimmel: indivisible.org/government-c...
