People have been explaining this patiently my entire life to people who have no desire to learn. I’m almost 60. I don’t think they’re going to ever learn the thing they don’t want to learn.

Disney didn’t just incur a $3.8 billion loss overnight. If the boycott continues, it could escalate to over $20 billion. This is how you combat fascism.

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.

There it is, ladies and gentlemen, right there. They fear retribution. That’s it. That’s all they’ve got left. That & projection of the inhuman monsters they’ve become.

Yes, it is in fact possible to see an example of somebody who is rich and powerful and say “wow, they’re probably coming for me too now”

It just got really hard to be a comedian in America.

Yes. You’re raised to believe that enduring pain eventually earns you a right to *inflict* pain on as a reward at the top of the power pyramid, and the system perpetuate itself.

The Russification of the United States has begun. The next step is the imprisonment of opponents of opinion, the dismissal of foreign journalists, the repression of minorities (which has already begun), etc.

Hey @gavinnewsom.bsky.social , California has the fourth largest thriving economy in the world right now, and a president bent on destroying the TV (& eventually Film) industries.

How about we pick up all the slack 🇺🇸dropped and adopt NPR/PBS.

We can call them CAPR & CABS.

What we're living through is the result of 100 years of treating conservatism like it was anything better than fascism biding its time.

I find the lynching of black people and the mass shooting of homeless encampments much more disturbing than internet poisoned weirdos killing each other, personally

This is another major scandal that in any normal country would result in the immediate impeachment and removal of the president.
