"....Always follow the money" Trump, and conservative media allies, Sinclair, are now demanding Jimmy Kimmel give a big donation in order to get back on the air...

If you recall, they own hundreds of local TV stations and are the ones that aired the anti-Obama "documentary," their national political director was Boris Epshteyn, and they had a regular piece in their local nightly news called the "Terrorism News Desk," primarily spreading Islamophobia and exaggerated claims of ongoing terrorism in the US. #USPol #Kimmel

John Oliver did a great piece about them. At the time, Sinclair Broadcast Group is the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. That's alarming considering that they often inject political views into local news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc

On the latest discourse...

"Don't comply in advance" includes "don't freak out more than is useful."

The word "prestige" used to mean "illusion." Human power enforcement has always been largely about illusion. Make yourself look bigger than you are. Paint the naked warriors blue. Wear a huge powdered wig. Project wealth through conspicuous consumption. Make each oppressed individual and group believe they're alone.

My experience of moving to rural Idaho has taught me so much, when I was terrified of everyone because of the huge Trump sign coming into town and the big trucks with threatening bumper stickers. That kept me freaked out and terrified and shy and unwilling to OWN WHO I AM and connect with people authentically and confidently.

Now that I'm getting to know folks, I'm finding that those bullies are in the minority. While yes, there's an echo chamber here for sure, plenty of people are willing to jump to say things like, "I never really was a big fan of Trump." There is a thriving human rights group here, too, and the turnout at No Kings was surprisingly huge given that I didn't even think there would be one in this town.

The illusion that everyone here was going to shoot me if they could was doing the work that they don't have the actual resources to do. It's a huge country and there are hundreds of millions of people. Even with each bit of power they grab, even with the full force of US military and legal might, it's not enough to take everyone, all at once, totally.

And it never will be.

But their victims thinking that they've already got it sewn up? That actually might be enough to lock it all down.

So stop doing that work for them. Don't give up.

And see if you can find joy somehow. And confidence in yourself. It's energizing.

And it's defiant.

Appears likely US commercial media - old, new and social - is compromised, and increasingly little more than a wing of that nation's regime.

Alternative channels rising in value.

A 12-ft golden idol of your dear leader erected to distract from the fact that the economy is held together by duct tape and delusion. You truly cannot script a more American pantomime.

They are saying the quiet part out loud. They are fucking screaming it.

This isn't just some random pot stirrer, Loomer has the president's ear.

Listen to them. Believe then. Act accordingly.

Trump, Patel, Bondi and republicans ARE the swamp. Do they appear drained now? USA, you are not only loosing your democracy, but also your rights to free speach. Trump would probably happily introduce thoughtcrime if he could. Is America great yet?

Un miliardario statunitense del settore tecnologico, Robert J. Shillman, ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nel finanziare l'ascesa del fascista inglese Tommy Robinson, come di altri vermiciattoli affini (Katie Hopkins, Laura Loomer, Charlie Kirk); ha anche speso 200.000 dollari per le spese legali di Geert Wilders, quando questi ha dovuto affrontare il processo per incitamento all'odio razziale. Shillman è stato anche membro del consiglio di amministrazione di Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces e conduce un podcast filoisraeliano. Al Technion, l'Istituto di tecnologia israeliano, c'è una statua a lui dedicata.
