Yes me too, glad there was a people victory on this one ( although I guess it comes down to loss of $ in the end, that's all they care about). I hope Trump has a brain explosion on this one.
Thank you for your solidarity . It’s good to know other countries understand all this is not what Americans want at all. At least the vast majority of us. Thank you for not blaming the people of our country, but seeing how this fool is ruining us. He actually said inflation is down. Has he ever set foot in a grocery store in his life? All I know is prices are so high there are things I don’t buy anymore. Again, thank you UK!
Only if voters become apathetic and allow it. Robber Barons ran the country in the early 1900s. People caught on and voted for people who wanted balance. We the people by the people... It took a market crash, extreme poverty and a war to fix it. Hopefully we learned better by now.
I'm not confident that we have learned this 'lesson'... It would seem that Trump's rise is a result of the demise of our public school system. This shit all started with the Reagan administration and his puppet show for corporate America. It's ironic that the "conservatives" (SIC) still revere him even as their children are growing up and still have to live at home.
For sure it started with Reagan.. he as mostly a puppet for the deep state that is the GOP.. then and now.. Project 2025 puts on paper what the GOP has been working on behind the scenes for the past 50 yrs. The rise of the whites and corps and demise of the middle class.. we are seeing it real time..
I do not think we learned anything. A lot of people have their heads in the sand and are looking the other way. If it doesn't affect them, they don't want to know.
Various groups that are non MAGA and there are so many talking points it's not a targeted approach. Need key people out saying it over and over. I watched a video, (cannot remember who put it together) about the Sinclair media stations. Everyone one of them said the same thing over and over this past week. If you have Sinclair, Fox and Nextstar repeating lies, we need the equivalent for truths everywhere. But it needs to be 3-5 talking points that hit the mark. Maybe Newsome's marketing team can help.
We can't rely on just Newsome.....Democratic leadership has moved at a snails pace to try and turn this ship in terms of course direction. I agree and have previously stated that messaging for non-conservatives must be streamlined, simple and point in one direction. Too much infighting and wants along the progressive spectrum....BE/DO/HAVE. Choose our battles and the battle is destroying P2025 agenda
One of the saddest things about this fiasco—-the honest country i believed in seems hidden, if not lost. That’s MY American Dream: To live where people care about honesty and safety, with mutual respect. Not to worry about whether our people and our leaders lie profusely or work to fool us out of our necessities, our physical, financial, and religious beliefs. Don’t want any kind of fascism, racism, or any kind of fascist ideas.
You are absolutely correct and your view is in line with MLK's very honorable dream. Unfortunately, this "fiasco" has shed light on the other less honorable points of view, apparently shared by a majority of the population... those who got Trump elected. I do know that many Americans share your dream. The division is killing this country.
Actually, over 90 MILLION stayed home and did not vote. I don’t know if they were polled as to why they didn’t vote, but I suspect many could not put their racism and misogyny aside to vote for a Black Woman. They may not have wanted Trump but definitely, like Hillary, they did not want a woman. Sadly, the Patriarchy is still strong in America.
Most of the people I’ve talked to that stayed home were furious over what was going on in Gaza. That’s what cost her Michigan for sure. I tried to convince them she would be better than Biden, and certainly tRump, but when she started hanging out with Liz Cheney there was no convincing them.
Agree stats show he got 31% of the registered voters. Hardly a mandate. Too many people stayed home and did nothing. And here we are. We knew who he was before 2016 and felt the actions after 2016. I hope we see people get to the polls in all elections. Local, State and Fed all matter. It's how corruption is stacked. We hear a lot about Heritage, Federalist, the libertarians and not much about the think tanks for Democracy.
I had a conversation recently with a trump supporter. He stated that Kirk’s death was the equivalent of the death of MLK! I vehemently disagreed with him because MLK was an actual Reverend. Kirk was a mouthpiece for racism, misogyny, hatred of “the other.”
I agree with most of your comment aside from the majority of this country voted for him…I correct - MANY people didn’t even vote period because they didn’t like either candidate regardless of party. That’s how the orange evil one got elected - more of his MAGAs voted than John Q. Public
They aren’t the majority though he would like you to believe that❗️
Less than a third of Americans voted him in. Just under that number voted Democrat. He won because of college votes & vast amounts of corporate $$$$ to get there❗️
The rest didn’t vote or were unable to, so, there are millions who aren’t following his dogma & the number is growing minute by minute as they see & feel the wrath of the Regime’s ethos to rid & demonise America of ‘the other’‼️
I believe that We Are Now The Majority! The Tide is Turning and Many conservatives are Changing their views as they watch Our Constitution dismantling !
You do hear about Judeo Christian values, though. Conservative Jews and "Christian" Nationalists worship the same God. And "Christian" Nationalists are pretty tight with Netanhyu's government. Whether these folks hold Jewish OR Christian values is up for debate, though.
with the same sentiment, advertisers should pull ads on Sinclair and Nexstar stations who go along with this ABC bad capitulations. This whole situation is because trump doesn't like jokes about him. This wasn't about Kirk, it was about trump's ego. So they leveraged ABC with the threat of not allowing the tegna deal to go through. So...cancelling subscriptions and pulling ads has power...use it.
Now that ABC is bringing Kimmel back, do we let Sinclair and Nexstar off the hook and drop advertisements, anyway. These guys have been jerks for years. They own radio stations, too. Don't let them off the hook. They want to muzzle anyone who doesn't agree with their narrowmindedness. I love that America pushed back in a big way. Disney stock is down. Stockholders probably are not happy.
Yes, we need to contact our local stations and let them know how unhappy we are with Disney/ABC, and that we will be boycotting the station and its advertisers until Kimmel is back on the air and given an apology. And, any bowing to Trump's threats will not be tolerated in the future either.

Yes! One commentator has said that one of the best ways to express our outrage is to find their ADVERTISERS and then contact them, refusing to buy from them and sharing our boycotts with everyone we can.
Boycott. Hit them in the wallet hard. Do not buy Disney or ABC products or go to Disney entertainment. We can fight this madness by sticking together. We all won't agree on everything but we can agree on 'Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as guaranteed in the our Constitution'. Thanks everybody.
100+ of my news consumption is independent news media. If we are saved from becoming a two but dictatorship, it will be the independent media that saves us.
Surprise, surprise the main shareholders of Disney are same as Fox News etc who also are main shareholders in the weapons supply to Israel. Say no more.A movement to cancel Disney memberships could actually have an adverse effect on the Israelis war machine....interesting.
Taylor Swift, when are you pulling the ERAS Tour off Disney. There are plenty of fans who would rather pay you $30 one time than pay Disney $15 Every Month.
Lin Miranda how about Hamilton. The show that is literally about how the Constitution was started and written. Yuck Disney. These arent Walt’s people. These are Billionaire scumbags!
There is far too much consolidation and concentration into the hands of a few. The greed moguls have zero integrity and less honesty. Control and $$$ is all they care about. We should enforce set limits and force some organizations to break up. Nexstar and Sinclair are like the robber barons of the networks.
Disney, ABC, and all corporate businesses are legally required to do their economic best for stockholders. Customers must be aware of this and punish corporations with economic injury if their actions are against the public interest. The government should protect that interest. But under Trump it does the opposite.
Disney and its ilk deserve to be punished by consumers. It’s the American way!
Before the Powell memo, corporations and the American people knew and understood that corporations had a duty to uphold the public good and then beyond that they could make profits. Powell is the one that wrote a memo and distributed it to the wealthy and corporations and recommended that they consolidate power to be able to affect the outcomes they wanted in the US government. Before that time it was unthinkable, it was taboo, and it never would have occurred to anyone or any corporation that only profits mattered.
This understanding was intentionally fostered over time through the corporate media, to the point now where there are many people who don't even know that that wasn't the norm for the majority of the time in our country. Now, the brainwashing via MSM is so complete, that the people harmed by the actions of corporations will intensely defend the wealthy and corporations that are harming them and other Americans.
Cancelled my subscription from outside the US in solidarity with Kimmel and my American friends.
Well done! I did the same.
Yes me too, glad there was a people victory on this one ( although I guess it comes down to loss of $ in the end, that's all they care about). I hope Trump has a brain explosion on this one.
Thank you!
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 hell yeah!

Good for them. Bowing to the orange Hitler has it's consequences.
It appears that the « American dream » was simply an oligarchy in the making. Money rules in that country. Christian values my a$$.
Only if voters become apathetic and allow it. Robber Barons ran the country in the early 1900s. People caught on and voted for people who wanted balance. We the people by the people... It took a market crash, extreme poverty and a war to fix it. Hopefully we learned better by now.
Yikes. All those things you mentioned--market crash, poverty, war--are looming as distinct possibilities. Again. Evidently we didn't learn too well.
History will always repeat itself - IF - lessons aren’t learned the first time around! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm not confident that we have learned this 'lesson'... It would seem that Trump's rise is a result of the demise of our public school system.

Unlikely
Class warfare VS culture…..were still not getting the message out there and they still have talking points (CK for example)
Various groups that are non MAGA and there are so many talking points it's not a targeted approach. Need key people out saying it over and over.

A majority of the American electorate did not elect him. More people voted for someone else than for him.
Actually, over 90 MILLION stayed home and did not vote. I don’t know if they were polled as to why they didn’t vote, but I suspect many could not put their racism and misogyny aside to vote for a Black Woman. They may not have wanted Trump but definitely, like Hillary, they did not want a woman. Sadly, the Patriarchy is still strong in America.
Gaza, is what I heard over and over. Nothing more, nothing less. They weren't listening to trump, otherwise they'd have voted for Kamala Harris.
Most of the people I’ve talked to that stayed home were furious over what was going on in Gaza. That’s what cost her Michigan for sure. I tried to convince them she would be better than Biden, and certainly tRump, but when she started hanging out with Liz Cheney there was no convincing them.
So true, voter apathy ( and/or misogyny) is what got the Orange one elected.
Agree stats show he got 31% of the registered voters. Hardly a mandate. Too many people stayed home and did nothing. And here we are. We knew who he was before 2016 and felt the actions after 2016.

I heard this from two women friends. Absolutely heartbreaking that they thought staying home after voting for Hillary was an option.
They aren’t the majority though he would like you to believe that❗️
Less than a third of Americans voted him in. Just under that number voted Democrat. He won because of college votes & vast amounts of corporate $$$$ to get there❗️

The fight back has begun & Americans are seeing the Regime for what it is‼️Take heart. You’re not alone♥️💙🇺🇸🗽
whoa hold on….wait yup you're right they will sacrifice all for the religion of money…..
Are there Jewish values? No one ever says that. Just wondering.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇮🇱

Yes! But many won't unless people stop consuming all but basics.
Yes, we need to contact our local stations and let them know how unhappy we are with Disney/ABC, and that we will be boycotting the station and its advertisers until Kimmel is back on the air and given an apology. And, any bowing to Trump's threats will not be tolerated in the future either.

Well said my friend— especially the part about what “we can agree on” 🇺🇸
Just cancelled Hulu!
Also cancelled Paramount!🤣
100+ of my news consumption is independent news media. If we are saved from becoming a two but dictatorship, it will be the independent media that saves us.
Hallelujah! I proudly cancelled my Disney+ subscription last night. Hoping I am just one among VERY many.
Reckon you are! I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of posts from people saying they’re cancelling. Me included 😊
Me, too, Patrick. Norma from southern California
Surprise, surprise the main shareholders of Disney are same as Fox News etc who also are main shareholders in the weapons supply to Israel. Say no more.A movement to cancel Disney memberships could actually have an adverse effect on the Israelis war machine....interesting.
Yuck Foo Disney.
Taylor Swift, when are you pulling the ERAS Tour off Disney. There are plenty of fans who would rather pay you $30 one time than pay Disney $15 Every Month.
Lin Miranda how about Hamilton. The show that is literally about how the Constitution was started and written. Yuck Disney. These arent Walt’s people. These are Billionaire scumbags!

F🦆k disney.
So we have # TeslaTakedown and now # DumpEverythingDisney (DED)
This is super important because this is a CRITICAL FIGHT between We The People vs Big Corporation.
Is Big Corporation more scared of losing We The People or of the dictator with diaper sores.
THIS IS HOW WE FIGHT FASCISM, PEOPLE. Dumping All Disney is an easy sacrifice compared to likely ones we face in the future.
PS: Even if Kimmel gets his job back, he MUST be allowed to offend Diaper Sore Donny, or we really don’t have 1st Amendment Rights.
So continue with #DumpEverythingDisney until we know 1A Right is practiced by Kimmel on his show.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I believe the term FAFO is most appropriate in this case. I’m doubting Disney foresaw this outcome.
