Just did this. Very easy to leave a comment.
Feedback form from ABC in which I typed the comment (about their cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live): "Appalled that you are capitulating to censorship and state control of independent media. You had a chance to be on the right side of history but you chose fascism."

Dissident Cinema: WHOSE STREETS?

A 2017 doc about gov't forces escalating against an American community, much like what’s happening in Calif. right now.

How can you help? Jail Support L.A., assisting those who have been arrested in anti-ICE protests. linktr.ee/jslosangeles

I honestly don’t even get this. Tuan Phan accepted that he would be deported to Viet Nam. His wife went there to meet him.

The US government arbitrarily deports him to South Sudan, from where he has not been heard from.

Pure sadism.

In the not-too-distant future, we’ve solved all the world’s problems... There’s just one catch... humans have to end life at 50 and teenage artists
have to document it.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.
