#Shakespeare had Caesar say "cowards die many times before their death, the valiant never taste of death but once." Caesar may died but once, but he was stabbed a whole bunch that one time. "I am Cinna the poet!" Cowards may live to die many times, but it's the soul that gets stabbed. #JuliusCaesar #cowardice #USpol #talkingtomyselflettingyoulisten https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/04/trump-tariffs-fear-lobby-business-congress-00006608

"Instead of saying no, the Dodgers have made the coward’s choices. The team is acting furtively, with no one on the team saying if there was even a discussion as to whether to decline the White House invite. No player will respond to questions about the insult to Robinson’s legacy or if they are concerned about the dangers of the ICE kidnappings."

Eugene Daniels is the coward who invited and then fired Amber Ruffin from entertaining at the White House Correspondents' dinner. After MSNBC was criticized for firing Joy Reid and other excellent non-White hosts, it decided to give Eugene his own show. He was Black, but he was also an Uncle Tom. His show will not be worth watching: if he was too afraid to hear Amber, who won't he be afraid to hear?

Ah, yes. The Academy values intellectual freedom and exploration of ideas - unless it might offend major donors or a right wing authoritarian government. And certainly uncomfortable data must be suppressed.

Amber Ruffin entertains viewers every Saturday on 'Have I Got News For You' and often on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.' Eugene Daniels is the coward who invited and then fired Amber from entertaining at the White House Correspondents' dinner, an event that is now a waste of time.

Absolutely all media organizations should drop their membership from the White House Correspondence Association, due to the WHCA's firing and censorship of talented comedian Amber Ruffin. Another reason to dump the WHCA: When Trump attacked the Associated Press, the response of the stupid cowardly "leadership" of the #WHCA was to wear pins saying "First Amendment" - a foolish gesture that accomplished nothing. #media #politics #cowardice

Jeff Stein: "Trump said about caving law firms and universities:
'They're all bending and saying, "Sir, thank you very much." Nobody can believe it.
Law firms are just saying, 'Where do I sign? Where do I sign'?"

Aaron Blake: "One of the fun parts of caving to Trump is he likes to remind people about how you caved to Trump, making it much harder to claim you didn't actually cave to Trump." #cowardice #politics #lawfare

I think we're all ready for a combo of browser extension and/or proxy that not only repairs these shameful deletions but also makes the original stuff appear to live /at the original urls/. Because fuck you cowards.

Ross Barkan: "I confess I don't get Columbia University folding* . Don't they have an endowment worth many billions? Very rich alumni? Alumni who hate Trump? They could do a massive #resistance fundraiser to make up for lost federal dollars. Very odd and very weak."

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
-- Octavia E. Butler

There are reasons why influential or knowledgeable Americans are staying silent as the worsening fascist dictatorship of the Trumpsters and Musketeers gets more entrenched by the day.

Most of these reasons are simple cover for #cowardice.
