Peacemaker just dialed it way up. Hell yeah.

But is it as good at Licorice Pizza?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I miss the days we dismissed "christian nationalists," which sounds very serious and scary, as just plain bible-thumpers.

Doesn’t violence committed by the state count as political violence? Like murdering Venezuelans? If so, definitely against it!

It’s easy to challenge ideas and hard to prove them. We’re privileging the first at the expense of the second.

The special edition ending of Alien: Resurrection shows Paris destroyed. It feels like Alien: Earth remembers that.

@phantasmaphile.bsky.social first episode of Season 9 is pretty damn great. Just two of my favorite people being wonderful. youtu.be/kk7azhC6PnM?...

It’s very funny when Trump is impotently upset.

Does Hell do Raptures?

The FCC took no action, just implied it would. Trump’s lawsuits never get to court, they get settled. Make them win in court. Make them levy fines. Make them lift a finger.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Comedians are far quieter today than I would have hoped.

Or…and hear me out now…they could just bring him back

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

Not so strangely, it feels like the only people in America who do not care that we're veering into fascism are CEOs.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr putting pressure on ABC affiliates to suspend Jimmy Kimmel over his comments on Charlie Kirk is beyond McCarthyism. Trump officials are repeatedly abusing their power to silence ideas they don’t like, deciding who can speak, write, and even joke.

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy. Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation. If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

Stop engaging with bad faith arguments!

Exactly this

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I think it's hilarious that the GOP thinks censoring Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert is going to make them less culturally important. It's the opposite, you dorks.

As usual, Ta-Nehisi Coates descends on the current moment to prove moral clarity. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

These people calling for bipartisanship! Even now! It’s a level of delusion that defies credulity.

@schumer.senate.gov You have an opportunity to defend our democracy. You’re failing to meet the moment. Make real demands or step aside. Refuse to fund an administration that won’t respect Congress’s authority. Refuse to fund a government that ignores the Constitution. Do something.

Conservatives are all a’tizzy because they have been fighting for the right to hate speech for decades.

This story is so much more important than the political back and forth. An absolute emergency. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

absolutely repugnant, gutfeld completely dismisses the assassination of melissa hortman, calls it a "bull shit" example of political violence

This is the thing. They're trying to scare the shit out of us.

New Star Wars piece: open.substack.com/pub/matthewf...

JD Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.” Charlie Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

JD Vance proves that men are too emotional to hold higher office.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

We're living in a temper tantrum.

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Foundation Season 3 finale went pretty damn hard. Terrence Mann is incredible.

This is the news I want to read.

Using AI to help you write is like being carried up a mountain. You'll get to the top, but you skipped the part that mattered.

Trump criticizing incendiary rhetoric is like fire blaming a burn.

I didn't find Spinal Tap II as well-crafted as the original, but I didn't expect it to be. I really enjoyed spending time with all these effortlessly funny people, and there were some great lines and moments throughout. Happy to see them all again and have some much needed fun.

I'm going to indulge in having a few unexpressed thoughts.

My second favorite franchise.

I don't give a crap about FIFA, but this is a great ad.
