I think I’m going to develop a weather app that allows people to report ice when they see it. As a weather app, there shouldn’t be any problems. 🤔

That the Nobel Peach Prize was *not* awarded to thirsty Donald Trump makes it wonderful. That it was awarded to a woman makes it even better. That she is from a country Trump slanders makes it even better. That it was awarded for promoting democracy, something Trump undermines, makes it perfection.

Once again, we should've never backed off the weirdness train. And a good way to keep winning is to make all of these fascists feel weird by confronting them with weirdness that shows how weird they are. Portland gets this. Everyone else needs to catch up.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Just putting this perspective up here:

Disney lost between $3.5-4bn this past week.

That is enough money to fund NEH at current levels for almost 17 years.

One company lost this much in less than 7 days.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

The best thing about the ABC/Disney boycott is that zero point zero percent of participants are involved because they love Jimmy Kimmel so much and really want him back on television because's so funny and great.

It's a movement of pure political principle.

When he says it’s time to black out the system, he means it is time to shut everything down. We need a general strike and we need mass protests.

When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.

But Paramount has South Park and they can’t get rid of them as they just renewed their contract.

WHEN are we going to have a general strike, shut the country down and hit the streets to protest? WHEN?
