Just such a stark reminder that white racists have never been, and will never be, cool.

When I’m depressed, I sing a special melancholy song, to the tune of Disney’s Pinocchio’s, “I Got No Strings.” It goes: “Life is hard And then you die But just don’t ask No questions why” And it works!!! I’m still alive! Despite some really fucked up shit, too!!!

Remember when Hollywood was functioning and producing content in a regular basis? That was so cool. (You had to be there.)

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

The glibness with which these people are dismissing what is, fundamentally, an extensive record of elite atrocities makes me think it’s better if I don’t finish this sentence

Name them shame them

COMMENTARY: We should believe President Trump

In no functioning country is this allowed.

Nothing perverts and corrupts the soul like prolonged exposure to money and power.

I acknowledge the part of black history where we stopped going there

In related news, lighting my house on fire has greatly reduced the number of door-to-door salesmen.

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

This is worth watching. "I don't feel like I have my First Amendment right as a member of the press because now federal agents are at my door arresting me for filming the church protest." Fort also says the agents said they had an indictment from a grand jury.

This is terrible. It is also an opportunity for certain journalists to finally speak up with a *fraction* of the courage the people of Minneapolis have shown. It is also instructive that Lemon is Black. Woe/pox etc upon white journalists who don’t freak out about this.

Disney's Wonder Man has zero right to be this good. While The Penguin was the DC Universe's take on The Godfather, Wonder Man is the Marvel Universe's take on My Dinner with Andre. And somehow, it works. Brilliantly.

Be the Mugshot You Want To See In The World

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

“Phantom of the Musical Theater” just doesn’t have the same ring.

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

Nunca creí que los leopardos comerían MI cara

There's no way you can keep funding a federal government who's primary mission is to inflict pain on the population. Every federal agency from McMahon at DoE to RFK shredding HHS and everything in between. Every day we let them stay open is more time we'll need to repair the damage they've done

After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…

Jesus loves me/This I know/For the TV show that turned me down for a seat in its writing room now has 18% on Rotten Tomatoes

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

This hit so fucking hard today.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

That tech oligarchs are noisy and incensed about the remote possibility of a wealth tax and utterly silent about the murder of a man who was only using the phone they invented to chronicle the thuggish government goon squads should tell you everything about these desiccated souls.

Just logged on to IG and saw this, they’ve radicalized the equestrians

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Alex Pretti, 37, murdered by the Republican Party.

Immigration isn’t the problem, it’s the solution to the question of how to distract from the heist of the American economy by the wealthiest people in the country.

👇🎯 It's even worse. Not only is immigration a totally fake problem, but also it's the main reason 🇺🇸 has become the world's most prosperous & powerful country over the last 150 years. The idea that it's something to "fix" is entirely racism, white supremacy, & xenophobia. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

These workers didn't have to follow orders and help the Trump regime erase the history of slavery by removing this exhibit in Philadelphia. They could have said no and quit. I'm not saying that would be easy. I'm saying all of us must decide if we're going to say no to the dictator or submit to him.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
