Folks, I've created my own personally curated block list.
These people and organizations are offensive, reactionary, or rude. That's why they are on this list.
One person confessed to committing a serious crime. Report them, if you please.

I don't think some people realize what the President already making it plain he considers it a justified shooting is really going to mean.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

One thing I don’t see enough talk of is that ICE tactics are deliberately intended to provoke a fight or flight response. If you try to flee, like Renee Nicole Good did, they pretend it was a fight anyway.

Schools.
Honestly at this point, fuck America and those joyless saturated sacks of fat and caffeine that think this makes them great again.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

I guarantee you Shatner/Nimoy got more than a free trip out of it; their appearance fees were/are non-trivial. I have done and still do appearances for money; this is why I have a speaker's bureau that I work through. I imagine Shatner gets... more.
What about a free trip to the Consumer Electronics show in Vegas? I have seen lots of actors there, including Nimoy and Shatner. Although Shatner seems willing to do about anything. I got stuff signed for free in the 80s when he was promoting a local company selling former rental cats.

To properly credit this, it's a detail from a larger photograph from this local media source's (Minnesota Reformer) article.

The full image includes the driver's seat, airbag, and a lot of blood, which I cropped out so this portion could be shared more widely.

I'm fortunate that I have and make enough money, relative to my expenditures, that I don't have to do things I don't want. I generally try not to judge people who decide otherwise (or, alternately, decide what they want is even more money). Also, things can change, quick, for any or all of us.
Seems like a lot of replies are focused on "What's your price?", as if that's the defining element in someone's life. It is for some people, a much larger group than I thought, actually. Personally, hearing Led Zepplin or The Who on product commercials always feels like a saw going through metal.

Two Wheels was a popular Australian motorcycle magazine from the 1960’s through to the early 2000’s.
Many of their original bike reviews have been digitised.
It’s a brilliant historic resource.
