Does Silicon Valley dream of Philip K Dick?
His 1960s science-fiction visions are a guide to our age of erratic billionaires, wild space fantasies and glitchy, invasive technology

Ezra Levin ❌👑 @ezralevin.bsky.social · 19/09/2025
I felt pretty darn good about this press release on Iger and Disney. indivisible.org/statements/i...
Washington, D.C. — Today, Ezra Levin, Indivisible’s co-founder and co-executive director, released the following statement on Indivisible’s campaign to boycott and protest Disney and ABC following the firing of Jimmy Kimmel: 

“Bob Iger apparently never watched Andor. He should binge watch it this weekend, look deep within his soul, and reverse course – or resign in disgrace as CEO of Disney. Until then, Indivisible is organizing to save this beloved American company from disgrace, and to protect our constitutional rights that Iger is so willing to sacrifice. 

“Iger’s cowardice is bad for Disney and bad for democracy. There was a time when Disney was on the side of democracy, producing some of the most memorable anti-fascist cartoons of the 1940s to help us win the war. But eighty years later, Iger is tarnishing a great American company’s reputation with his cowardly capitulation to Trump’s goons. Rather than stand up for free speech, he’s falling over to help an unpopular president squash dissent and trample our rights. Shame, Bob, shame.
