In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “What is happening to us is as serious as a guillotine. We must harness our best creative, humorous and frivolous selves in order to keep it from falling,” writes the author Gary Shteyngart.

Marc Benioff, who used to lean kind of liberal, has decided it's more convenient to be right-wing, and he owns Time. (I heard an interesting podcast conversation about how MAGA despises Silicon Valley oligarchs because they have no real commitments except maximal profit.)

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

They gotta stop naming roses after people, because "Come check out Dick Clark!" and "Go sniff Henry Fonda!" are both things my mom has said to me.

Jimmy Kimmel does comedy. Donald Trump does fascism. Which is more dangerous?

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

They are literally canceling culture

When the President of the United States extorts many millions from media companies through bogus lawsuit threats, where does that money go? Really asking.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

The etsy witches today

Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

An FBI informant? A great sympathy for these women? Sanity has left the room.

“Trump was an FBI informant.” 😂🤣🤦‍♀️ He didn’t know the difference between his wife and the woman he raped. He raped children, he’s still abusing them. He sure as hell was no FBI informant #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ctsy...

Math, how does it work?

This is so stupid

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

These people are very sensitive and also not very smart and also ruining the country

Maybe she could be as clear about Netanyahu and stop funding his war crimes.

The Danish Prime Minister saying that Putin isn’t to be trusted. Oh, that’s brand new information.

Monday? Again? In this economy?

lol

What a time for CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” and blame it on a “purely financial decision”: variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Let’s be clear: This is political censorship. Just as CBS’ parent company handed Trump $16 million to settle a spurious lawsuit, this decision is about preemptively bowing to a regime that demands obedience. We stand with Stephen Colbert and every voice that Trump wants silenced.

The best way to make people stop talking about your relationship with a child rapist is to stay up all night on social media talking about said child rapist.

We should never stop talking about it…

Nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize is the most absurd thing that ever happened.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Fascism is theft. The lawlessness. The cruelty. The brutality. It is a means of asserting power and providing a cover for the wealthy to steal everything they can. This is an all-out robbery and there will be nothing left unless we stop them. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/its-a-robb...

I’m sick of the mainstream media using euphemisms and other weasel wording to soft-pedal the Trump regime’s corruption. Rather than committing crimes, Trump “sidesteps laws.” Rather than lying, he’s “untethered to truth” or “inverting the facts.” Read my latest Stop the Presses newsletter.

I cannot believe how unqualified he is for this job.

@radhikavang.bsky.social p sure you recommended this book. one of the most profound books i have ever read. big thank you. this will be a reread. 🩵

today’s #Strands was exceptionally easy. even the results give away the answers. but hey, not complaining 😆 Strands #483 “Hue are my sunshine” 🟡🟠🔴🏳️‍🌈 🔵🟣🟢

Mark Rutte calling him “daddy”?? This is so awful. Not worthy of being one of the most important positions in the world. Will never understand how he was elected.. again. This is worse than most reality tv.

so I guess the procedure to get a visa is: buy a burner phone, change name on your private social media accounts, and create new ones with only dog and cat videos, or food content, in your real name, no?

A 21 year-old from Norway said he was denied entry to the United States by costums and border patrol agents when they discovered this image of JD Vance saved on his phone. Just putting it out there to say border control clearly has no sense of humour..

Is it true you have to have an open account on your social media, if you want a visa to the US? If so, this is taking things to the next level..

Trumpism is bad, he doesn’t want to end foreign wars and he’s not gonna make things cheaper. Democrats, this is your moment to narrate what’s happening.

We are witnessing the first livestreamed genocide in history. Those who facilitate these crimes against humanity should face accountability — not those who have the humanity to oppose them. End all arms sales to Israel, now.
