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)

NEW: LGBT+ rights leaders held an "emergency" briefing today on reports that Trump may "weaponise" the FBI against trans people. "We need every elected official to sound the alarm with us... to confront the lies that put trans Americans in danger," one said. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I can’t read this story PRINTED IN THE LOS ANGELES NEWSPAPER because its subject has been erased.

Obviously this is no groundbreaking observation but I’m catching up on The Gilded Age and my god Carrie Coon is sensational on this show

She just went out and shot irony in the face on a hunting trip.

Interviewed two icons about being the faces of American food www.eater.com/food-culture...

Pritzer gets the mechanics of authoritarianism – systemic intimidation, seizing control of elections, etc. – in a way others in national democratic leadership don't or won't say out loud.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Sharing this again. I’d appreciate it if you could spread the word. This book is important.

🎃🍂🍁🤎

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s

Look up

Now is a really good time to buy this book, which couldn’t be timelier or more vital

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

This is what happens when, like Klein, you see yourself as a principal negotiating with principals on the other side. Reproductive rights have no intrinsic value. They are just counters to bargain with. The desired outcome is the maintenance of order and your position within it.

What it feels like trying to relax right now

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

trying to explain to the monkey who ended up eventually typing the complete works of shakespeare why he's getting rejected by publishers

Alan is one of my closest friends (not just in the work-friends way), and a great critic, and a person practically everybody in TV knows, and an incredibly prolific hard worker who produces a mind-boggling quantity of good stuff. Find him continuing in those capacities at alansepinwall.ghost.io.

Just wanted to share this very sweet shot from last night's Emmys of the moment Jeff Hiller won Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, and the unfeigned delight from his fellow gay nominees Colman Domingo, Michael Urie, and Bowen Yang. Solidarity!

If y’all don’t see how the erasure of Black women in media has been happening for some time now… @karenattiah.bsky.social, I stand with you.

Either they don't understand their customers at all or they just don't care about them. Both pretty bad!

As someone whose dad worked as a salesman at General Mills and therefore someone who began their lifetime adoration of baking by using these cake mixes as a child I am especially unsettled

This book is phenomenal and you need to read it

the shooter was just a cis dude but even if he was the most trans person to ever trans it wouldnt justify rounding up all the trans people for crimes they didnt commit, really wish people in positions of power would be saying this

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I can’t stop thinking about this

From an Atlantic editor. I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

Saw a cloud tonight that literally looked like the alien in Nope

My favorite fuller show always

Wonderfalls, of course

They not touching the GOAT... Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers did numbers in the club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Just sitting back, eating some popcorn, watching people attempt to make the Supreme Court’s decision that racial profiling is ok for the purpose of ethnic cleansing about something else that makes them feel more comfortable.

Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

Jane Mayer wrote a lengthy profile of Cleta Mitchell for The New Yorker *in 2021* that warned how this would happen. No one in a position of power to have stopped this can claim plausible deniability now.

Pritzker just said it out loud: the Union is unraveling, and his state is being invaded by an authoritarian regime. This isn’t politics — it’s crisis.

i'm black. if i spent time thinking about how much everyone hated me and my people, or how bad things are, i would never manage to be happy. is that what you're hoping for?

Fabiana Palladino and I

For all you #RiloKiley fans: Jenny Lewis literally showed up as Greta’s surprise guest at her LA event because of how good this book is. Read it!

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

I know people are overwhelmed by too much news from every angle, and maybe people are distracted by the "terrorist" language, or just plain exhausted. But this is the President of the United States saying he is going to go around killing people because he thinks they're criminals. And already did.
