Our democracy is collapsing in real time.
Much of the damage will be irreparable.
If you’re waiting to say or do something, you better not wait much longer.

Then fired a lawyer who refused to prosecute his enemies

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.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.
He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."
They didn't show him a warrant.
They didn't give him paperwork.
And he's now suing.
