Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back?

Ted Turner was briefly so destructive to film preservation that the GOVERNMENT created the National Film Registry to keep some films safe, then Turner was like “fine! You like preservation so much, here’s a channel that just shows movies unaltered for 24 hours!!!” and it was the best channel ever.

Trump's war with Iran is as unpopular among Americans as the Iraq War during the year of peak violence in 2006 and the Vietnam War in the early 70s, according to a WaPo-ABC poll. 
61% say using military force was a mistake. Fewer than 2 in 10 believe U.S. actions have been successful.

Rick Scott’s net worth is $515 million.

BREAKING: Activists have shut down multiple intersections throughout downtown Washington DC in opposition to Trump's attacks on workers, DC Home Rule, climate, and international peace. The actions kick off #MayDay events across the country.

There is no NYC without unions. A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

Happy May Day. They can’t kill us all.

“Regretful“ Trump voters always remind me of the James Baldwin quote: “People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state on innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster.”

When I’m too drunk to remember the word “ravioli.”

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

I’d urge media to begin reducing how often they show the scattering & running from last nights correspondents dinner No one in the room was hurt These images are seen by kids & survivors of shooting sprees … and are scary The images amplify what the attempted gunman dId. Not a good thing

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

this is america. you could find yourself within 100yds of a shooting at any time, in any place. school, the grocery store, a movie theater, a block party, a public park… it happens to regular people every day. but this week we’ll get 50+ weepy op-eds because it happened to the guys who write op-eds

WASHINGTON (AP) — Southern Poverty Law Center says it faces criminal investigation by Justice Department over past use of paid informants.

NEW: Justice Dept demands Wayne County, Michigan turn over all ballots, ballot receipts & envelopes from 2024 election "This request is as absurd as it is baseless,” said Michigan Atty General Dana Nessel State says letter cites allegations that are “incorrect and not credible"

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Time for more "Joe Rogan is abandoning Trump" takes.

I wrote an essay for Criterion about "Corporate Thrillers," including Wall Street, The Devil's Advocate, Disclosure, Michael Clayton, and more

WOW: "Because Richards was a transgender woman, and Eversole allegedly wanted to keep her “away from the players." www.wired.com/story/madiso...

Holy shit. I don’t have words for how corrupt this is. Keep in mind, the Ukraine whistleblower is still anonymous. And Gabbard kept a whistleblower report from Congress about a call between foreign intel agents discussing someone close to Trump and Iran. @andrewbakaj.bsky.social

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

Hottest annual headline inflation since May 2024:

US March CPI: the increase in inflation should be understood as a movement in two parts. The March data captured the initial shock, but all parties should expect further increases in April…..

Call me old fashioned, but I’m having a hard time moving past the whole “the president posted a graphic video of a woman getting murdered” thing.

Remove. Him. From. Office.

some people may argue that The Beekeeper not high art but it contains a scene in which a scammer tries to bribe Jason Statham with NFTs and is immediately tied to a truck and driven off the bridge so who’s to say it is not the greatest cinematic accomplishment of our times

it's really so beside the point by now, but i cannot believe people gave this psychotic motherfucker a second chance.

Tucker Carlson denounces Trump's Easter message: "No president should mock Islam. That’s not your job. This is not a theocracy." He also denounces targeting civilian infrastructure: "That's totally unacceptable — not under the phony laws of some international body, but under moral law, God's law."

the fuck am i supposed to say in therapy today lol

I don't ever want to hear any political opinion from any trump voter ever again.

Seriously, what the fuck is this. This is completely deranged, and anyone who can’t say so is a coward.

Trump is kicking 100,000 veterans out of their homes. www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

The Biden debate performance that ended his presidency was one-tenth as addled as what I'm watching right now.

New Gallup Party ID: 2025 Q3: 48% 🔵 - 41% 🔴 2025 Q4: 48% 🔵 - 40% 🔴 2026 Q1: 49% 🔵 - 39% 🔴 Largest Democratic lead on this metric since the survey began in 2015 GOP have never stopped below 40

The crusades took place about five hundred years before the US was founded, and they were brutal and unsuccessful. The United States was not founded on Christian principles.

An "activist" who pushed 2020 election fraud claims has been convicted of election fraud: A jury convicted Wisconsin man Harry Wait of election fraud and identity theft for requesting the ballots of Republican state Assembly Speaker Vos and Democratic Racine Mayor Mason without their consent.
