Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

What a sellout. Benioff hasn’t made an ideological change. Classify him among the other rank, crass, cynical, profiteering opportunists and carpetbaggers.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

This is leadership by Fisher Price. This “summit” was just presidential playing house. Look at me being a president, going places, shaking hands, shuffling papers, photo ops … McDonald’s fry cook, fire engine driver … presidential play-doh … Getting something done? What’s that?
