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.
People have power. Ask Target

At 2:00 a.m., Texas Republicans passed their racially gerrymandered congressional map.
At 8:00 a.m., we at the National Redistricting Foundation, with ELG sued Texas.
As everything moves at light speed, let this serve as a reminder that racial gerrymandering is illegal.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. We’re calling out the injustice of an economy where Black women earn 66 cents on the dollar compared to white men.
We fight to end the wage gap and make it easier to join a union because women get equal pay with a union contract.

David Huerta peacefully stood up for his community during an ICE raid, and was forcefully injured and unjustly arrested. As educators and union members, we stand with David, @seiuca.bsky.social, and demand an end to these inhumane attacks. Where they bring terror, we bring solidarity.
Born and raised in Los Angeles County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Though unnamed, worth recognizing whoever released this security camera footage to the public. Like George Holliday’s footage of LAPD beating Rodney King or Darnella Frazier’s filming of the murder of George Floyd, sometimes just bearing witness can be among the most powerful acts of resistance.
