Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy. This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

South Park is doing its part to give us the laughs we need amidst it all.

If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control: Paramount Studios CBS CNN MTV HBO Comedy Central Nickelodeon Cartoon Network Warner Bros. DC Studios Fandango New Line Cinema TNT Sports TBS Oracle And more.

Every Dem politician should follow this lead. #KnowYourRights

Re-upping this: To not “speak ill” of a recently deceased person who caused incalculable harm & damage & suffering to so many is to totally make invisible & negate the reality of all those people who suffered so greatly bc of that person. I wished him no harm, but #DickCheney was a horrible guy.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Survivors of sexual assault, please take extra good care. All this Epstein Files talk can be v triggering. Do all the things. Avoid news if you need to. Connect to safe, respectful people. Do things that feel good to all of your senses. You got this. Know you're not alone. ✊💙

BREAKING: Leaked emails between Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell allege that Trump was fully aware of his pedophilia: “i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief etc." trib.al/rWqukO9

I can't fucking believe it either, Jon.

We went out on the end of #JohnEastman 's street to tell him donald may have pardoned him, but Santa Feans never will. I resurrected two of the old protest signs I used when we were out there every day for over 13 mos + a couple of new ones. Lots of honks and waves and old supporters stopped by.

The Dems clearly need new leadership. Chris Murphy (@chrismurphyct.bsky.social) for Senate Minority Leader! ✊💙

This is the way. #EconomicPatriotism

We peacefully protested #JohnEastman nearly daily for over 13 mos at the end of his street, here in Santa Fe, calling for accountability. Fucking donald just pardoned him. It's despicable. (He may still get permanently disbarred in CA, though.)

Tonight was a very bad night.

Donald Trump's authoritarianism is happening in plain sight.

I've been reminded by @leahlitman.bsky.social that it's Four Seasons Total Landscaping Day. Wishing a laugh-until-you-cry day to all who celebrate. This super short video went crazy viral back in the day. ⚠️ Required viewing for FSTL Day devotees. ⚠️

I forgot to celebrate JD Vance's brother losing in Cincinnati! 🥳🍾🪅🎉🙌

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

To not “speak ill” of a recently deceased person who caused incalculable harm and damage and suffering to so many is to totally make invisible and negate the reality of all those people who suffered so greatly bc of that person. I wished him zero harm, but #DickCheney was a horrible guy.

It's #ElectionDay! Get out there and #vote from #SantaFe to #NYC, for every office from School Board to Mayor and beyond. MAGA knows infiltrating school boards and "lesser" positions is a powerful way to grow influence. So now more than ever, every vote for every office is important. ✊💙

Not to be outdone, Mr. Burns throws his hat in the ring with Trump and Musk in endorsing #AndrewCuomo #ZohranMamdani for #NYC

"I will no longer look for myself in the shadows, but find myself in the light." As a psychotherapist, I can't think of a more beautiful, inspiring, self-affirming thing to say. #NYC, vote for this courageous, honorable man. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #ZohranMamdani #ZohranForNewYorkCity

As a reformed advertising copywriter, I'm not a fan of advertising, in general. But, holy crap, this one is HILARIOUS. Literal lols. Just thought I'd share something non-political for a change. “Mine tastes like the scolding from a disappointed mother.”

I sometimes stop and remember that all of this is because we had one Black president, and then two women ran, and this mystical convergence opened the Hellmouth.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

For the folks in the back: There. Is. No. Center. Between. Fascism. And. Democracy.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House. Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Yet another reason to boycott Airbnb. (And non-local investors buy up properties to use for short term rentals and local renters only have a few, very expensive options to choose from. It also robs neighborhoods of stable communities.)

The terrific @chrismurphyct.bsky.social sums it all up. Really worth the watch. (Less than 5 minutes.)

Such a fun, inspiring day in #SantaFe.

#NoKings Santa Fe. Fantastic, joyful energy. It was really big for our little town. The pics don't do it justice.

Do you know what a group of frogs is called? AN ARMY

Any peaceful protest, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. Get out there today, peeps, and share your positive, happy, inspiring pics and vids everywhere you can think of to counter the mainstream media's lack of/negative coverage. #NoKings
