You are a national treasure, @jimacosta.bsky.social. Thank you for speaking the truth all these years. Look forward to seeing what you do next.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

FYI. (I’m planning to buy as many of these as I can directly from the company or other places - not Target - that sell them.)

Also recording artists, people who choose to change their name when they get married, people who get MDs/PhDs, anyone with a nickname, newly dedicated buildings and public spaces, arenas and stadiums, adopted pets…
Seems like it’s only a problem when it’s a trans person. 🤷🏻♀️

🤬 I was looking at using them as one of my Amazon alternatives. Never mind! FYI, I’m working on research about which companies are rolling them back & which ones (like Costco) are sticking. Also continuing to look for more businesses owned by people of color to support.

Working on figuring out ways we can support them with our business. (We almost canceled our Costco membership this year. So glad we didn’t!) 💙
Costco defends its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies amid pressures to scale them back:
“Our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary.”

What I’m doing… (in case it’s helpful for you)
I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I’ve decided *for now* to stay on FB, IG and Twitter. I want to stay and be a voice.
BUT I won’t click on ads (or run ads for my business). Ads revenue is where their money is. 1/4

If you think a Bishop asking for mercy for the marginalized is a bad thing, you’re on the wrong side.

And he did it twice.
This isn’t a “seems like” or “appears to be” event…
It was intentional, deliberate, and unequivocal.

I just sighed and involuntarily said, 'f-- everything'. I don't think I've ever said that phrase in my life before. (I've said the F word, just not that phrase). If you're wondering how I'm feeling about things. 😂 We will miss you, Joe.

pro tip: if you said nothing when Donald Trump pardoned donors, cronies, extended family members and war criminals, then sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up about Joe Biden pardoning his own son. just put a fucking sock in it
