As I see and understand it, white america mobilized for Jimmy Kimmel so quickly and vigorously in part because it was clear *how* to mobilize. Denying a corporation of money is the obvious stimulus.
The american political system is a corporation. A general strike is the obvious response to this administration giving more life to Jim Crow. It isn’t a resurrection because it never quite died.

If Joesph Robinette Biden gave even one shit about stopping fascism, he would have—on day one of his presidency—looked like a n entire socialist. He would have enacted government programs that clearly communicated a desire to help citizens thrive. He would have shown, so clearly, what it looks and feels like to have a government want to keep all of its citizens alive that no one would look at “the way things were” as acceptable.

@griotspeak@soc.mod-12.com I felt like that Kimmel thing was a) extremely easy and b) low personal cost as well
