This is crazy. Who are we as a society?.
BREAKING - Americans are calling for a boycott of the retailer Meijer after bodycam footage revealed the $15 billion corporation had a 16-year-old disabled deli worker named James arrested for taking just $110 in food over three months to get through his shifts. Thoughts?

I’m thrilled to join leaders from Microsoft, Funko, Spectrum Designs, and Evolve Coaching for a panel on employment and the rewards for a neuroinclusive work culture. There are few topics more important to me and our community.

Everyone should watch this important press conference that @disabilityvoicesunited held today about the 35th anniversary of the ADA and the imminent cuts to services that affect us all.

My favorite response so far. Thanks for the laugh Mark.
@masner @Cynfulfan Maybe your father just sucked did you ever think of that. The character Lou Grant was a product of the Mary Tyler Moore show wherein he was part of an excellent ensemble cast. Your pops just wasn’t good enough to carry his own show. I’m sorry the truth hurts you so.

Good point. But it is a tad different. They fired the star and kept the show going under a different name.

The only reason my father got any work after Lou Grant is because he refused to do what everyone wanted him to do. They wanted him to lay low and shut up. He got louder and he credited that with saving what was left of his career.
@masner Paley got "Gilligan's Island" canceled to save his favorite show, "Gunsmoke," which ran until 1975. After "Lou Grant" got canceled, Ed Asner still found plenty of work without toning down his politics. Blaming Reagan is ridiculous.

Things definitely haven’t changed.
@masner @StephenAtHome @colbertlateshow @TheOnlyEdAsner And then as now, a CBS flack lied about the show and denied the obvious.

CBS has a long track record of politically motivated cancellations. The latest is @StephenAtHome and @colbertlateshow. In 1969, they pulled the plug on The Smothers Brothers. @TheOnlyEdAsner’s Lou Grant was canceled while still ranking in the top 50. Shameful then. Shameful now.
