He'd have been sued if this harassment and intimidation happened in the office, but it happens IN PLAIN SIGHT so he gets a pass. Hm.
I hope Fox has been able to replenish the war chest it emptied for Ailes and O'Reilly. This might get expensive.
PS Tucker has tried to silence @AprilDRyan maybe more than anyone. The fact that she has not kept silent should be an inspiration to all of us.
Since 07, I’ve wanted to help nip one harassment-to-violence campaign in the bud. That year a Ron Paul aide, Stewart Rhodes, sicced a troll army on me. Rhodes more than got away with it; I got blamed. Then he founded Oath Keepers, w/same tactics. Then they attacked the Capitol.
Bc the trolls targeted the comments section of my NYT blog, their IP addresses were visible. If I’d been able to flag the sources & turn over the death threats to the FBI, investigations into the nascent terrorists, the Oath Keepers, could have started 14 years ago.

So all they can do is try to shrink the market & sideline *potential* consumers of the competition
It doesn’t matter if these biz folks are sincere or not; ultimately sidelining voters OR consumers is not just immoral it’s counter-adaptive
It doesn’t matter if these particular CEOs are sincere.
Markets have their own logic.
The 57% (!) who approve of Biden must appreciate that we chose him, & didn’t just certify him under orders fr/the Kremlin, the Q Shaman, or the armed thugs who threatened to hang Pence
The only fix for anything you’re stuck on in public life is to learn more languages
The #StopAsianHate curriculum could drop the unscientific sensitivity stuff and have native speakers teach a semester of conversational Korean and Chinese, including slang, and advance the cause exponentially.
It’s not punitive. It’s not politically torqued. It’s just education, deference to expertise. And no matter where you go, even if you speak one of these languages already, it’s useful & a workout for the brain.
I went to go hear Derrida speak once. The talk was about murmuring. He murmured the entire speech. You could hardly hear it. Everyone was craning to tell even what language he was speaking. We were bored by all the murmuring. It was also amazing. It was at NYU.
The French word for the murmur is le murmure, & I think he said, or maybe the program said, that the word is onomatopoetic in both languages. So it’s possible he just said the title of the lecture over and over for a full hour.
