A little blown away by Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. It includes a scene about 2/3 of the way of the movie where I laughed for 45 straight seconds while everyone else in the theatre was dead silent with their hands over their mouths. Ends with a lot of heart. Good movie.

Once again.

Literally the only statement from an elected official I’ve read this morning worth our time. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov take note!! Thank you @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social CC: @hebagowayed.bsky.social

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis US president violates UN charter just days into his Board of Peace era, and chooses to take the biggest gamble of his administration

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

Netflix won't counter Ellison's offer. Ladies and gentleman, the full right wing power grab is here and will now be beamed into every home on CBS, CNN, HBO, movies from Warner and Paramount. about.netflix.com/en/news/netf...

This is Hillary Knight, captain of the women’s ice hockey team. I love her thoughts on this.

This is a critical difference between reformers and non-reformers. You need to be willing to look leadership and their lawyers in the face and say “No, I’m going to try something else. You can help me or you can get out of my way.”

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

NEW: What is the DOJ hiding? Witness statements missing, including one involving a sexual assault allegations made against President Trump. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

2025 map from deathpenaltyinfo.org showing disproportion numbers of state sanctioned (racist, classist) murder in a small number of states Last year was the largest number killed in 16 years. Nearly double of that in 2024. Abolish.

Nothing about this is legal. The US is quietly deporting Palestinians arrested by #ICE to the occupied West Bank via private jet owned by an Israeli-American property tycoon & friend of President Trump, with two such flights taking place in coordination w the Israel: www.972mag.com/us-secretly-...

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Yes.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Two-thirds of Americans believe Trump has "gone too far" with ICE. The cruelty & extremism is out of control. Our new ad features Joe Rogan asking "Are we really going to be the Gestapo?...Is that what we've come to?" Check it out & share.

This deserves to be spread as far and wide as what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti. apnews.com/article/immi...

He took his own food to Italy. Sounds about white.

The Obamas are brilliant, compassionate and patriotic Americans. They represent the best of this country. Donald Trump is a vile, unhinged and malignant bottom feeder. Why are GOP leaders like John Thune continuing to stand by him? Republicans must immediately denounce Trump’s disgusting bigotry.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

In their first for Xtra in agessss, @jplarocque.bsky.social pays tribute to the late, great Catherine O'Hara 👑 xtramagazine.com/culture/cath...

Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.

Fucking disgusting. I have no words. Yes I do. There is not a level of hell low enough for Jeff Bezos. The Devil is right now building a basement.

Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely

Could the Ontario NDP and Ontario Liberal Party not just partner up already - either get into talks to merge, or agree to not run against each other next election?

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying. Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/l...

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

It’s so heavy when you are going to get groceries and you find a car sitting with its windows broken out and it’s empty but still running and someone’s stuffed animals or pictures or papers are just laying all over the road. I have personally seen at least five of these in the last three days alone

This is Alejandro Anduray, who will be the new Minister of Indigenous Peoples of Honduras under the newly elected president Nasry Asfura, Trump's candidate, following elections that the opposition has called fraudulent. Anduray was criticized in 2021 for proudly displaying his Nazi costume.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Warren: "I know there are Republicans right now who are seeing what we're seeing in MN, and they know it's wrong. It's time to speak out. Silence is complicity. Grow a spine, show some backbone. Being 'disturbed' doesn't change anything and the ICE agents who are waving around loaded guns know it."

That's THREE Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota who have been attacked -- assaulted, shot, killed -- by Trump supporters in the last 7 months (and 60+ more were targeted for violence). That is the actual domestic terrorism.
