Another spectacular episode from @gpcd.bsky.social: the WORST Lead Characters in TV Shows. And there are definitely some doozies out there. Have a listen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=99L_...

Give @lastweektonight.com a watch this week (and every week really). Particularly around the 22 min mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohPT...

Meiselas: Trump and the MAGA Republicans want a shutdown. That’s why Johnson is literally sending Republicans into hiding—just like they did over the summer to hide the Epstein files.

It's almost time for the 2025 #StrollForStrongKids! Our family shirts are ready to go to stroll with Team Amazing Grace Esposito! I'm a bit shy of my fundraising goal, but there's still time to donate! teamraiser.rochester.edu/goto/KathyLK... @jenniferjohnsonroc.bsky.social #ROC #URMC #GCH

Need a break from today's politics? Journey back to 2015 when "Hamilton" hit Broadway and join myself, @joellelb.bsky.social, Eric Rezsnyak & Gary Jackson as we determine the best song from the hit musical. This was SUCH a fun episode to record. The debates were all TOUGH. This album is STACKED.

The USAID Inspector General who released a report detailing how $500 million in food was sitting in ports rotting because of Elon's coup was just fired by Trump because he told the truth and blew the whistle.

We were delighted to have Patreon sponsor @kathylkingsley.bsky.social pick this topic for her 2025 episode! The full debate drops tomorrow, but check out the 16 songs we'll be discussing. What is YOUR favorite song from "Hamilton"? #broadway #hamilton #musicals #podcast

Did you know it's been 10 YEARS since "Hamilton" debuted? So myself, @gpcd.bsky.social panelists @joellelb.bsky.social, Eric Rezsnyak & Gary Jackson debated what the best song from the musical was -- and it was a TOUGH CALL! Here's the primer: (full ep TOMORROW!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSzH...

"Democrats need to focus on the human consequences of Trump’s recklessness, especially if they have ready narrative appeal. ... Democrats must hang Musk and Trump’s abuses on the GOP with the faces of the people he hurt." bit.ly/3EIbWDt

Corals for spring?

If George Soros illegally hacked the treasury a SWAT team would've been deployed within 4 minutes. The right are unprincipled goons who believe in nothing but power and owning the libs. Congrats have fun ruling over the ashes of a failed state you hacks.

Elon’s preteen exec team isn’t just inexperienced—they’re a national security risk. The way they’re operating, I’d be shocked if they weren’t all married to Russian assets by year’s end. Foreign influence and espionage thrive in chaos, and there’s plenty to go around.

Forget Jumanji. Who opened the cursed version of The Oregon Trail?! www.cidrap.umn.edu/tuberculosis...

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Wish this was nationwide!

No, we don't need investigations. We don't need Senators posting on social media. We need you to literally grind everything to a halt in the Senate & get in front of microphones on the Capitol steps calling for the fascists to resign & your GOP colleagues to vote with you to impeach & remove them.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

See it's funny, because there probably was a time in U.S. history when an unelected plutocrat gaining illicit access to government systems would have resulted in him being dragged out of whatever government building he was in at the moment by his balls by armed government agents within +/- 3 minutes

Not even Benedict Arnold. At least he had an ethos. This is pure unadulterated greed. Smash & grab. Our president is a stolen Kia crashing though a store window.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Trump violates Federal law, fires 12 Inspectors General in late-night purge. This was done deliberately so no one would notice. Take notice. Pay attention. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

15 years ago, Citizens United turned our democracy into an auction. Our government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire elites. We must #EndCitizensUnited and put the American people back in charge.

Finally! Appropriate coverage courtesy of @liberation.fr: 'euphoric, Elon Musk gives two Nazi salutes while addressing the crowd'... 'the president's close ally made a gesture that leaves no doubt' www.liberation.fr/internationa...

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

A Nazi salute. It was a Nazi salute. Call it what it is and call them out for it. This is heinous and chilling.

Are we winning yet?

And to anyone saying "oh it was just a slip, he didn't mean it, he was confused:" A. Here's another clip from the same speech of him saying Elon is good with the computers that count votes and whaddaya know we won PA. B. "don't trust your own eyes" is something straight out of "1984."

HOW IS THIS NOT THE TOP STORY EVERYWHERE? Media orgs that are too scared to cover this are COMPLICIT in whatever comes next. The only thing it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to stand by and do nothing.

“America First” should mean: -No endless wars -No homelessness -No medical debt -No student debt -Living wages -Healthcare for all -Data privacy for all

... what

I wrote about how Trump's Inauguration is the perfect metaphor for his presidency: surrounded by billionaires in comfort, while his supporters are left out in the cold.

👇🏽

The TikTok ban was a stunt to suck up to Trump. Meta is giving him what he wants. X is owned by the administration. Companies that haven’t donated to an inaugural fund in 20 years are shoveling money. I’m scared man. As a 22 year old, the authoritarian is winning. I don’t want to lose America.

With TT dark/in zombie mode, and only 43 days until #DaredevilBornAgain it's time to rewatch the original Netflix series. At least gonna watch the 3 seasons + Defenders. Bonus if I have time for JJ, LC & IF.

Imagine if it were illegal in the U.S. for politicians, judges, or any government employee for that matter to be bought out by corporations and oligarchs. Things may not be so bleakly horrible, yet here we are. Fire all of them. And tax churches while we’re at it.

I finally realized what bugs me about the TikTok notice: it’s not that Trump may save it, it’s the ‘we need his permission’ vibe. It feels very Handmaid’s Tale. I don’t need permission to post on a social platform. TikTok, you’re starting to feel like a bad place. Never OfTrump

Donald Trump is going to extend the TikTok ban to distract you from the fact that he has no plan to lower the cost of groceries in the United States. Hold the line. Hold him accountable.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

This should disqualify him immediately. His lack of an answer speaks volumes. And we should all be scared.

To the person who paid for my Dunkin order this morning because they thought they cut me off: 1. You definitely did not cut me off 2. Thank you! It made my morning! 3. There was no one behind me but I will find a way to #payitforward today! There is still kindness in this world. 🥰

My toddler was asking for a snack but I couldn't figure out what he was saying. Sounded like "basketball." I was so confused. I picked him up and he pointed at the counter and clear as day said "BASKETBALL!" An orange. He wanted an orange. I can't even be mad. 🤣

'Why is your Mickey Mouse in the salad spinner?" is not a sentence I ever thought I'd utter but here we are. #toddlermom #shitmytoddlersays

Is that why I'm anxious all the time? Check on your friends who are eldest daughters. Often, we're smiling, but we're not always ok. Very often we're overburdened, overworked, anxious and exhausted. And that's on a good day. www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

Uh huh. But tell me again how women are too emotional to lead. 🙄 apnews.com/article/sena...

Got to see #TheMarvels this weekend and I really enjoyed it. This Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel and Captain Rambeau team up is a delightfully fun, silly, heartfelt romp that despite pacing issues, largely flies higher, further, faster, baby! It's not perfect, but it IS a whole lot of fun.
