Disney (owns Hulu, abc, espn) is a children’s entertainment company who folded to a corrupt pedophile and his lieutenants. In lead-up to Putin‘s authoritarian oligarchy rule of Russia, he canceled all media comedians who were critical. Playbook #cancel #abc #disney #kirk

Embrace imperfect allies. The opposite is failure. Try to embrace a few people a day, starting today 🤗 💙 🖖🏻

Movements win, not individuals.
Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Ego kills movements.
Plan for the long game.
Meet people where they are.
Power doesn’t care about feelings.
