The only problem is that many of the stations controlled by Sinclair won’t be airing his show tonight! So many of the ABC affiliates won’t be showing it!
I think it's important that we don't give in on boycotts... We just learned from the Kimmel situation that when we stop supporting this nonsense - the billionaires will understand. It has to be long-lasting so these companies are so afraid of our boycotts they won't capitulate.
You’re so right. Boycotts are a great, time-honored way to challenge corporate power. And the viral nature of the new media strengthens the hand of the ordinary citizen. Thanks, Marty.
Thing is, the job isn't over until not just Trump, but Trump and all his sycophants, all his lackeys and running boys, and all his true believers are OUT OF OFFICE.
And even then, we will be left with judges and SCOTUS justices. This ain't no sprint. It's a marathon.
Easy to see why they brought back Jimmy Kimmel with all the cancelled subscriptions and shots at an ABC station. I would love to see them ask you to come back to ABC and you refusing the offer.
Terry, the middle-class longing for decency is valid. Why else would 'they' want to destroy the middle class, those of us who treasure ethical, moral, behavioral and associated values? 'They' are busy doing exactly that.
They will divide, condemning many of the middle class to poverty, or conquer, with the relatively few successful in the middle class rising to the ranks of the rich, further hollowing out the declining middle. Those new rich will support 'them' and their iniquitous policies.
Terry - Thank you so much for the pieces you write. They are a big source of hope for many of us, and I believe as you do, most Americans are good and decent people who don't like to see people bullied or censored or disappeared. This will, in the long run, be our saving grace. But in the meantime, arrest Tom Homan. :)
This is why Trumpʻs people are working hard to mess with voter registration and voting. Thatʻs the only way they can win in the midterms. Be prepared for something as outrageous as martial law or even just his goons near polling stations to intimidate. Marc Elias (Democracy Forward/Democracy Docket) is defending voting rights all over the country, please support his group.
Such a good summary! Thank you for seeing and writing very clearly what is going on under this dreadful, embarrassing, sub literate vain current President!! How much money has he gained for himself and family, how much has he put us in debt with his not thought through projects ie: Alligator Alcatraz and also the pardons of those who have robbed the government , the taxpayers and are now not just free but do not have to repay any of the millions they illegally gained!!?!
I’m having a growing sense of relief that I’m not alone. Thank you
That’s a beautiful sentiment! Me, too, Marie. Thanks.
How very jealous Trump will be
When Kimmel steps up to the mic with glee
The thunder of applsuse the jjoyful cheering
While Trump will be deflated and no doubt swearing
The man who hates his opponents
will feel our wrath
As the walls of his room get a ketchup bath
His cruelty and pettiness have been on display
and he cannot bear rhis is JIMMY KIMMEL DAY!
Awesome! Thanks!

How very sad We need comic relief from the pain that Trump imposes on our brains
Those who want to see it will be able to do so on ABC.com the next day as well as other platforms.

As always, great, thoughtful post Terry! 🥰

YES! My Trump-supporting son has reminded me many times, "Go woke, go broke!" It's nice to see the shoe on the other foot.
100% agreed, Terry! This is an excellent piece. I’m glad to support you and your work!
Thanks!
You are one of the decent people, Terry. Thank you for giving us a glimmer of hope.
Thank you, Dorothy.
We have to have empathy and solidarity to succeed.

Take a look at https://zorhasbsfreezone.substack.com/p/2024-election-was-stolen
and think how it affects the entire admin. We need to take them all out at once!
We need the 14thAmendment Sec 3, for a rebellion against the Constitution (stealing an election) to clear the way to fixing the country.

True, that!
Bannon is a Dark Lord of the Sith, not a Jedi. Just me being a nerd. Otherwise, I have shared this post, Terry.
Haha! I stand corrected, Rudy!
Or Lord Voldemort, no?
Yes
Trump is weak, not strong. His loud mouth isn’t strength. Keep protesting and keep your money in your own pockets.

I’m having too much fun out here!

100% agreed. Too good of a piece not to restack. I also write to call out this bs.

We can’t stop fighting to save our country. Period.
