"... we found that individual levels of empathy – not gender – were the strongest predictor of how intensely the brain’s “parental vigilance” network activated. Caring is a skill that is honed through practice, and it physically reshapes the brain of any dedicated caregiver, male or female."

"How mothers are 'gaslit' into suppressing their 'completely normal' anger"
#RuthBarber, #ABC News, 2025
Not just mothers either. Solo dads experienced similar kinds of normal frustration and anger about the situation we've been put in, and it's even more pathologised.
"And so it boils down to the difference between a politician and a statesman. Politicians are people who plan for the next election. Statesman are the people who plan for the next generation. Where are all our statesman?"

This was a random NetFix pick, but well worth the watch. Had me in tears numerous times. The courage and humility of these people is truly humbling.

Disney losing billions over decision to censor Jimmy Kimmel
“And then there’s how capitulating to a bully only invites more bullying – #FCC’s chair Carr, not satisfied with getting #Kimmel removed from the #ABC lineup, is now threatening to target the morning show “The View,” whose hosts are also critical of the #Trump administration.”

Disney reinstates Jimmy Kimmel after backlash over capitulation to FCC
This is a proof that boycotts matter. Make it more significant by staying unsubscribed.

#Disney said in a statement Monday that “#JimmyKimmel Live!” will return to its #ABC broadcast on Tuesday.
The decision came nearly a week after ABC said it was suspending the late night show indefinitely, shortly after the host made comments linking the alleged killer of conservative activist #CharlieKirk to #Trump’s #MAGA movement.

Capitulation leads to more capitulation. We need corporations that will fight for democracy, and must BOYCOTT those who won’t.

And as I keep saying, Sinclair and these affiliate stations are NOT economic behemoths in Disney's class.
They are economic light weights in the bigger picture. So if y'all cancelling Disney+ etc got Disney actin right, just a fraction of that boycott hitting Sinclair directly and you might have something 🤔
And remember, don't over do it on praising Disney for Kimmels -partial- return to air. Its best make sure Disney and friends feel long term impacts so they don't dare this gambit again.

The decision about whether to keep #JimmyKimmel on his late-night #ABC show depends on far more than his jokes. The choice is complicated by a web of #business & #regulatory considerations involving ABC’s parent company, other #media companies & the #Trump admin.
It’s the inevitable result of industry #consolidation that over years has built giant #corporations with wide-ranging interests.

The full episode is available online and already appears to have SIX times its typical view counts over the last month or two.
I swore off Jimmy Kimmel years ago cuz he said some shit about Opera back on the man show... But I'll be damned if they gonna cancel him when he's finally punching up at fascism. So he get a solidarity watch from me today.
Solid boycott idea here for the PNW area

Jimmy Kimmel's show went on last night to only partial coverage on TV stations around the US.
In his opener he went right in on the fascist orange elephant in the room, Trump's attempts to censor him...

Before Kimmel's show aired on Tuesday, #Trump wrote that he "can't believe" #ABC gave #Kimmel back his show, & hinted at further action against the network.
"Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, & who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

#Trump then threatens, "He is yet another arm of the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we're going to test #ABC out on this.”

The Sinclair corporation posted on their Twitter account that instead of Jimmy Kimmel they would be airing a news program.
So if you ask me, the Disney boycott should continue in all regions in solidarity with Americans living under the Sinclair censorship regime.
And if you're in Seattle, there's very likely to be even liberals protesting at KOMO HQ tonight again.
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT resubscribe to Disney/ABC until AFTER we have all seen Jimmy Kimmel physically back on stage and on the air.
These corporations can not be trusted.
Do not end the boycott until we have fully verified beyond a shadow of a doubt that Disney is upholding their end of the bargain.
UPDATE - not all affiliates are airing Kimmel, the boycott will continue.
