I don't think it even needs to be said that you should never RSVP to a protest... but just in case: YOU SHOULD NEVER RSVP TO A PROTEST

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE MEN

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

There is a radio in the distance. A radio of the world. Playing sounds - Good morning, Elysium. Soon you will return to the world.

I really didn't feel up to calling, but I did and I used Greg's quick script below and then just rambled my little heart away about the need to respond to Nazis and anti-semites swiftly and with conviction. One office was so glad I called. They had no idea this had happened. Give yours a call too

This day ain't it jesus fucking christ.

⚠️PSA ABOUT SCAMMERS There's been an uptick in impersonators who target users with easily swappable handles (i's for l's, o's for 0's, varying repeated letters, etc) They will always 1) block the original artist 2) target users who have replied with interest, either thru QRPs, replies, or DMs (+)

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.
