It was eerily quiet & bitterly cold in DC, Jan 6 Eve, as folks hunkered down for the approaching blizzard. The National Museum of African American History & Culture shines a light on the Washington Monument. There should be a new exhibit for a fine black President. It’s fitting they’re snowed out.
I’m not surprised. I felt this deeply myself at the time and could barely imagine how she felt but I knew it must be excruciating beyond description. Not even a year later I’m still mourning this singular, multifaceted tragedy, not to mention all the related tragedies since. I hope she finds peace.

So many Americans are ignorant about global politics. A police officer didn’t even know Macron’s name referring to him simply as ‘President’. Liberation requires education. There’s a whole Earth beyond America not in this mess. The country wouldn’t be in such a state if more ppl were more informed.

Time will tell what impact the 50 000 and counting cancellations of Disney+, that crashed their systems, has had on their business model of both sidesing fascism. But nothing will alter the moral failing of Bog Iger and co giving American Nazis the acceptable veneer of Tinker Bell’s fairy dust.

Kimmel brought in about $70 M in advertising revenue this year, which means that about $23 M is now mostly lost for the rest of the calendar year.

A bit of James Baldwin today:
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

This is such a bad read for many of us who made the move.

Links are not deprioritized here. My readership has exploded since moving to Bluesky, and my mental health and work life balance has improved now that I’m not subject to constant death threats and brain rot that lives on twitter.
One of the biggest mistakes left-of-center pundits and influencers made was decamping to Bluesky. They made themselves irrelevant, shrunk their audiences, and dramatically lessened the positive impact they could have on our public debate at the precise time we needed it most.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

Shame on you, CBS News-Paramount, for broadcasting the memorial of a neonazi on national TV tomorrow. The lightening bolt motif of Kirk’s Turning Point USA that inducts young ppl into gun violence & hatred against minorities is inspired by the Hitler Youth. The American Reich isn’t near it is here.

🚨 FCC Chief Brendan Carr authored the chapter about the FCC for The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.

Does Carr agree with his Heritage Foundation colleagues? Posted July 3, 2024:

"The Second American Revolution will remain bloodless if the Left allows it to be."

Disney stock is in free-fall. Anti-fash boycotters crashed their cancellation portal. Their execs are spinning from the public backlash and on the brink of red carpeting Kimmel back. Sit tight, Pluto. We’re coming for you.

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism.

But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.
Dutch late night TV has its take
