I did my little bit and finally dumped my Hulu account. Wasn't doing much with it, so it was the reason I needed. Hulu is owned by Disney.

WGA and IATSE are picketing at Disney, and Damon Lindelof among other creatives have vowed to not work for the company until Kimmel is reinstated. I think this will be a rare bridge too far for Trump II and Disney will relent, as they should.

To their credit, the Dem leadership is actually playing this one right. Demanding Carr's resignation from the FCC is smart theater. The key is not letting this be one isolated incident. They came to DC to legislate and govern responsibly, but that's not the world we currently live in and no one responds to it or cares. For the foreseeable future, this kind of guerrilla war in the chamber is the New Normal. Fight every battle, every inch, everywhere.

Beth Chamberlain (Beth-GL) dumped her Hulu account too. She posted about it on social media.

I am in good company I guess.  It was a ripoff anyway and I should have done it sooner.

The wave of subscription cancelations makes my heart happy.

With apparently even some right-wing commentators like Tucker Carlson (🤢) and Megyn Kelly (🤢) speaking out against this, is it possible that this is (finally) a step too far?   🤔

Yeah... even when their pet dogs start panicking and feel like they are trapped... that's when sh-t has already hit the fan. 

But... they all enabled this to happen.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I still think both of them are despicable human beings and partly responsible for all of this mess, and I hope they both fade into oblivion sooner rather than later.

I get nausea when one of these names is even mentioned... But it's ironic how they are suddenly scared someone is going to take away their "hate" speech. We all know that's their favorite thing in the world. They are not afraid of many other things that are taken away... but hey... don't touch their bread and butter. 🤢 I would laugh, but as I said... one of these names gives me instant nausea... that takes time to pass.  

They did this to themselves.

I guess history will look back on how Trump and this era of Republicans how easy it was to accomplish their goals

  Give me a break. They're acting like he was some kind of saint.
