“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.” The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

“Satire is the most powerful weapon in a democracy because it forces people to laugh at their leaders, and once you make people laugh at authority, you’ve won.” - Lenny Bruce and others @diaperdiplomacy-m.bsky.social

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

🏆 How does a comedy show have the best news research team? @thedailyshow.com

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

I've been there... bankrupted by my daughter at "must have" places. But I've been out of work for nearly 8 months, so this just looks like gluttony... fyi.

How far we have fallen...

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital. “He has Constitutional rights.” “No.” ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

And stop chiming in with your negative comments when Black folks tell other Black folks to “stay home”. It’s for our safety as well as yours. Also, nobody asked you! She 👇🏾 gets it…

The lawsuits are starting to fly. Good!

This is such performative BS

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

Thanks to @meidastouch.com for airing this week's MSW Media UnJustified podcast with me and Andy McCabe tomorrow. You can watch it using the link below, or listen to the audio pod wherever you get your podcasts. Andy will be breaking some news.

I don't usually yell at MLB teams for screwing up... unless, I'm relying on said team to win to keep my beloved team in contention! Go Brewers!

Mornin, @thehill.com

This pisses me off, and completely breaks my heart

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

Listen Russ, you are a malignant political hack. We will not be intimidated by your threat to engage in mass firings. Get lost.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

The full 28-minute Jimmy Kimmel monologue. Please share.

Question: why didn't we even know the trial was happening before today?

Julie Brown is a hero in every sense. Her relentless reporting ripped open the Jeffrey Epstein case when powerful people wanted it buried. Honestly, I don’t think we’d even be talking about Epstein today if it weren’t for her. Please consider following her: @jkbjournalist.bsky.social

Mushroom tells me "it's dinner-time."

Tasty nachos, spicy red wine, and a Mets win. I'd call that a successful Friday night.

A) yes it is B) By “bad” he means calling out his lies

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

BREAKING: Democrat Xp Lee wins the Minnesota House special election to fill the seat of Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated in June.

Bless her

“Stay in your cars! Tell everyone to stay in your houses.” Illinois state senator Karina Villa out in the street warning folks about ICE

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Stay focused.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I wish someone could offer me the blue pill. I'd take it in a heartbeat.

I know this is wildly besides the point, but weren't we all taught to take our hats off while we're inside eating? When did this become okay? ... look at everyone in picture. I see it a lot when I go out too. Weird.

This was LITERALLY last month. I feel like I'm losing my mind seeing rightwing posts over on Twitter tonight. nytimes.com/2025/08/13/u...

Okay everybody..Sophia needs our healing prayers, wishes, and thoughts. Let's not forget about these children and their families 🙏 #Minnesota 💕💕

🚨🚨🚨No words, just watch and listen! Holy shit. 1/2
