Melanie D’ArrigoEvery 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.

M.S. Bellows, Jr.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security today released a new ICE recruiting poster, under the stilted and sexist tagline, "Which way, American man?"
Why did they use that weird language? Because it's a dog whistle, something ordinary humans won't notice but that those attuned to it will respond to. And it's literally a Nazi dog whistle.
William Gayley Simpson was a Presbyterian pastor who decided Christianity wasn't workable and consciously decided to become a racist instead. In 1978 he published a book, "Which Way, Western Man?" – a manifesto calling on white men to defeat all other races. Some nuggets include:
"Let me preface what I am about to say by declaring frankly that I am prepared to accept violence on the part of our people. The Jews’ hold on our throat is not going to be relaxed until we break their grip. Hitler felt that he had to take to the streets. All normal approach to his people was barred. Today, we are confronted with much the same situation here."
"The point is to reveal organized Jewry as a world power entrenched in every country of the White man’s world...."
You might think that 1978 is too long ago for anyone to remember, but this book was republished in 2003 by a neo-Nazi group called the National Alliance, and is a bestseller among neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups.
In other words, the federal government is recruiting Nazis and other racists to join ICE, which is being deployed in cities across the country and arresting both citizens and non-citizens alike.
Folks, this literally is fascism. You think I enjoy posting this stuff here all the time? I don't. But this literally is fascism. They're literally following the Nazi playbook. And they'll follow it to the very end.
Unless we stop them.

Marco ArmentSo what are everyone’s excuses for Tim Cook’s behavior this time?
Wake up. He’s an overt Trump supporter, and has been the entire time.
This is a core system app interrupting you, promoting a sale by a movie-ticketing company, to push you to go see the platform vendor’s new movie.
Why not just pop up random ads all the time, always creating new channels that everyone’s opted-into by default so you can never keep up with opting out of them all?
Oh wait, that’s already what happens.
Apple’s as bad as everyone else. They don’t respect their customers — we’re fodder.
They truly have no standards anymore.
