Every union that worked on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and works with Disney, Sinclair Broadcasting, and Nextstar should strike. Just shut it all down. No one’s jobs are safe when corporations put appeasing fascists over workers and their constitutional rights.

When opposing a fascist movement funded by billionaires, it's perhaps not a good time to self-identify as being anti-oligarchy.

Trump might outlaw unions next. His fascist billionaires want the criminalization of unions in the worst way.

I’ve always admired people who can successfully navigate what I refer to as “Kafka’s Castle,” a term of dread for the many government and corporate agencies that have an inordinate amount of power over our permanent records, and that seem as inscrutable and chillingly absurd as the labyrinth the character K navigates in Kafka’s last allegorical novel.
