If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Every time one of you says "well, that's it, this is fascism," you're giving up.
If we were already living in a fascist regime, most of you - and certainly not anyone in the public space, like me - would not be here arguing about it.
You're Americans. Stop fantasizing that you're the White Rose.

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

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

We elected fools.
Meanwhile Trump, who goes on & on about the China threat, is ... letting China have the New Three, refocusing the US on gasoline cars and fossil fuel extraction.
We're not competing with China, we're surrendering to China, because our home-grown reactionaries have decided that cleantech is Lib.

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.
