I took part in a small town protest today in very very red rural Missouri. Initially, a few days ago 43 people were "going". Turned out to be 640 of us in a tiny town square! I was beyond exhilarated.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABCās hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation.

The idea we should behave in such a way that the Trumpists will not portray us as dangerous/ lawless/ violent is a silly idea, because they always portray us that way and no amount of curtseys and rolling over and playing dead will change that. So people might as well speak up and stand strong.

From the piece: "I believe ardently that nonviolent resistance is in the big picture and the long term the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will and they'll lie and distort no matter what."

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller āhateful,ā (which he šÆ is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on āfree speech.ā This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and thatās what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

Highly recommend "Number 24" on Netflix. It shows so many ethical dilemmas faced by people choosing not to go along with fascism in Norway, includ. Gunnar SĆønsteby, a real person who led a group under the codename Agent 24 during the Nazi occupation, fighting off invaders and homegrown fascists.
