Netflix cancels good shows too often before they can gain enough viewers to satisfy the algorithm. 'The Boroughs' was an excellent series--great cast, premise, production. Not a clunker episode. Netflix hurts their status with this practice!

The FCC threatened ABC's license. #Nexstar and #Sinclair pulled the show from 60+ stations. Disney folded instantly. This is why a media monopoly is BAD We don't have to accept this. #Defend1A #JimmyKimmel cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-kimmel...

Advice from Christopher Armitage of the Existential Republic on how to fight back against what they just did to Jimmy Kimmel.
___
First, we identify the only factor these corporations value.
Money.
Bud Light lost $1.4 billion and their #1 beer spot after Dylan Mulvaney. Four weeks, 29% sales drop. Why? Sustained boycott, celebrity pile-on, easy alternatives.
Tesla stock down 50% since January. Sales dropped 72% in Australia. How? 200 protests via Action Network, celebrity amplification, daily pressure.
Glenn Beck lost 300+ advertisers. Bill O'Reilly lost $100 million in ads. Method? Screenshot ads, tag companies, ask why they support censorship.
Target Pride lost $14 billion market cap in one week and pulled merchandise nationwide.
These corporations don't care about freedom, democracy, or morality. Money is the only thing they care about.

SEO impacting: Link "Disney censorship" everywhere. The Santorum Google bomb lasted years.
This matters, and you can do something about it. Today it's Kimmel criticizing political violence. Colbert's already gone. Who's next?
Immediately after reading this you can do the following:
1. Cancel Disney+ and tell them why
2. Call/email/mail those companies
3. Screenshot and tag advertisers
4. Share this playbook with others

🧵 The most effective way to let ABC know you’re unhappy with #JimmyKimmel Live! being pulled is to go directly through their official feedback channels. Here’s how you can do it: 1. Boycott Disney. Boycott Nexstar. Boycott their advertisers. Hit them where it hurts: the $$$.

JUST IN: Governor Newsom seeks a restraining order against Pete Hegseth and the Department of Defense. The filing says the administration “intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles.”

requires orders to federalize the National Guard to be "issued through the governors of the States," and here the Governor never issued such an order or gave consent.
The Marine Corps' deployment for law enforcement purposes is likewise unlawful. For more than a century, the Posse Comitatus Act has expressly prohibited the use of the active duty
armed forces and federalized national guard for civilian law enforcement. And the President and
Secretary Hegseth have made clear — publicly and privately— that the Marines are not in Los Angeles to stand outside a federal building.
Instead, as established in the attached declarations, Defendants intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles. They will work in active concert with law enforcement, in support of a law enforcement mission, and will physically interact with or detain civilians.
These unlawful deployments have already proven to be a deeply inflammatory and unnecessary provocation, anathema to our laws limiting the use federal forces for law enforcement, rather than a means of restoring calm. Federal antagonization, through the presence of soldiers in the streets,
has already caused real and irreparable damage to the City of Los Angeles, the people who live
there, and the State of California. They must be stopped, immediately.
To preserve the peace, Plaintifis respectfully urge the Court to grant the circumscribed emergency relief requested through this motion for a temporary restraining order, which will prevent the use of federalized National Guard and active duty Marines for law enforcement purposes on the streets of a civilian city. This motion does not seck to prevent any of those forces from protecting the safety of federal buildings or other real property owned or leased by the federal govemment, or federal personnel on such property. It instead seeks narrow relief tailored to avoid irreparable har…

$134 million so far.... 1. The rushed order made it to the Pentagon is fitting all of the bill. 2. That is even before they have accommodations (marines are sleeping in warehouses right now). 3. Troops can't do much but wait because the insurrection act isn't active yet. apnews.com/article/pent...

According to the official White House account, the US is in the midst of an "insurrection" that warrants federalization of the National Guard, which is why the President is attending a UFC fight and hanging out with Dana White.

The White House has tweeted a video of Trump at UFC hanging out with Dana White right after retweeting Stephen Miller saying the US is experiencing an insurrection in LA.
