I cannot cannot believe how the entire media has caved - the sickness and insanity it is beyond frightening- when I heard NPR say he was in a relationship with his roommate a Tran I thought I had died … dear God how is this possible?
I am not surprised that the corporate world, and especially the media, has a acceded to the demands of Trump and his Maga crew in suppressing free speech, sanewashing this insane leader and overall demonstrating an incredible lack of principle and courage by their collaboration. What has amazed me is that they continue to do it for someone whose approval ratings are in the 30’s and sinking fast. Are they not aware the majority this country do not believe in the fascist/racist/ economic disaster direction he is taking us? Are they not aware that one year from now the House of Representatives will switch to Democratic control and that two years after that the White House? How are they going to explain their collaborationist behavior when the country is finally liberated from the Maga occupation? The fact is that they will not be able to explain it. The new administration will certainly bring them to account. However, we don’t have to wait that long to demonstrate the power of the people to make them pay for their cowardly collaboration. We merely have to hit them where they are most vulnerable: in their pocketbooks. We do this by not buying their products-and not for a day but until each of them changes their behavior. To that end I would recommend that we Immediately boycott all companies that have demonstrated this collaborationist behavior. These would Include among others:
1 . MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN
2. The New York Times, Washington Post and all mainstream newspapers
3. Amazon
4. Google
5. Target
6. Tesla
7. Meta
In this media/consumer driven age, this boycott will not be easy. But resistance to oligarchal fascism never is. True patriots know this resistance takes sacrifice. Money and the lack of it are the oligarch’s achilles heel. If we keep our money out of their hands they will fold.
Gary, I totally agree with you! 'We The People' need not wait to demonstrate, as you stated. We need to let them know that we WILL NOT BEND THE KNEE or KISS THE RING. They are ALL cowards. and the only reason for their decision to bend to the will of tRump is that the decision makers/owners of these companies are all greedy billionaires, wanting more to add to their coffers. None of them care about those of us who actually put that money in their pockets to afford their life-styles. We ALL need to do our part to make them feel the pinch, and to realize that we WILL NOT sit back and allow this to happen. Boycotting these companies and working together is exactly what we need to do. You are right on target, and we need to do what ever it takes to make them wake up and realize that their choices effect everyone...including them! Thank you for what you wrote, and I will do my part in this fight.
It has been wild watching this story evolve. Nihilism is also a distinct possibility. And just bc Kirk was such a soft target and killing him is ironic and a sick joke. This person was absolutely mixed up and we really shouldn’t be talking about how he speaks for any group of people. That is what has been most irresponsible in the media coverage. I fear these type of shooters are a canary in the coal mine for the hopelessness that many twenty year olds who grew up in this environment are feeling. Obviously most of them don’t become shooters. If you are a twenty year old hang in there. We will get through this.
If only the stuff about transgender people was actually funny. sadly all of that is putting our transgender siblings In Harm's Way every minute of the day. And I love you guys but I don't think that your podcast joking about it is necessarily helping that. So maybe you can devote some time to talking about the ways in which this kind of shit has a direct impact on the trans community on a daily basis and how it makes them unsafe and unable to even leave the house which means they are being driven into the closet and not able to move about the cabin freely ever
Thanks for the bringing this disturbing news out. Didn't realize Media outlets NPR, BBC, the Guardian were caving in and joining the likes of FOX. Getting hard to find trustworthy news sources which is why I depend on yours and others podcast. Thanks.

Thank you for the kind words. And as Victor Laszlo said to Rick in “Casblanca”: Welcome…to the fight…I know our side will win.”

Fuck corporate media forever. Nazi plutocrats and liars.
The White House wants to get rid of mainstream media so they can control news. I am appalled that people are not seeing this.

Wow Allison you are busy!
Worthwhile and agile perspectives,please keep it up....but yikes! Slow down the speed of the dialogue, so we can follow the messaging!
For the last time there is no animal 🦒 called ANTIFA. These initials stand for Antifascist. If you’re against fascism that’s who you are.
What a fucking mess!!! 🙄🙄🙄
It’s not me on facebook messenger app it’s Elon using my photo
It’s much more like Kirov’s assassination than the Reichstadt. The Trump/MAGA echelons are very much like the Stalinist apparatus.
All about the MONEY
Rational conversations are so important; Always and forever … ✨🌟
Love love love Allison Gill!
