    It’s interesting to finally hear a call for mass physical protests… over Kimmel. I support the position, but what is the demand to make at the state capitol? As far as I’m concerned, it’s not a legal matter if a company wants to cancel an entertainer. When a conservative runs their mouth and gets fired, we say “freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequences.” The Kimmel suspension is bullshit but it seems to me like the Kennedy appointment and ICE deployments were far bigger deals and much more worth hitting the streets over.

      I say state capital because I know very few people in this accursed existence that can just drop what they’re doing to bolt for DC. Feels like that didn’t really need explaining, but anyways.

      It’s literally not about Kimmel specifically, and trying to make that point just makes you come across as disingenuous. This is about the fact that the President of the United States snapped his fingers and had a dissenting private citizen removed from their job. It doesn’t matter who, it matters that it’s a direct attack against the constitution from the Oval Office with no nuance to distract from the corruption.

      This, of course, is made worse by the fact that Kilmeade went all Final Solution on Fox & Friends to the sounds of CRICKETS just this week so… 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Yes, but also merely passively holding up a sign is not what “good trouble” means.

      Cool. So what’s the plan then?

      Is it:

      • I don’t know
      • make you own plan idgaf
      • google it jerkface
      • oh so now it’s only valid if there’s a plan??

        Maybe the plan should be to destroy fossil fuel infrastructure via Ecotage/eco-sabotage.

        Maybe we can weaken and start dismantling the fascist government following the guidelines of the CIA’s Citizen Sabotage Field Manual from 1944.

        Maybe we eat the rich.

        So instead of asking what the plan is sarcastically, try asking it genuinely. Just because an answer sounds ridiculous and difficult, doesn’t mean it will fail. The discussion needs to lead towards finding which plan would be most effective and why/why not.

          tbh you’re the first person who’s ever responded with anything like a plan.

          Although you’ve got several in here and a lot of “maybes”

      You’re doin’ great, sweetheart, but perhaps next time we remember that poster board has a whole TWO SIDES you can fill with sentiments about the regime.
