I thought the same. It was a funny joke. It’s an appalling idea for a business, and will probably backfire and save #MyPillow by inspiring sympathy buying in the Right.

Much of Left is so celebrity obsessed, they’ll just happily nod at this and find novel ways of defending it. It’s what we do. As I keep saying, almost without exception, our activists get co-opted by the media or industry in one way or another. It always saps their power.
Amusing to me that some snark at @deray as someone who “leveraged” BLM, when in fact, he was a key factor for its early success. But rather than build on fame, he & @samswey worked like dogs to build a serious, data-driven Police reform project.

@deray @samswey And their “critics” are often those with their own projects, and political capital, not objective observers. But without much independent media anymore, we just get whatever breaks thought the editorial walls at @thedailybeast, or some other narrative factory.
