Masterclass for Portland, Oregon and democracy advocates. Have been peaceful for weeks. Visual shows all over social media of no violence very effective. Excellent brief ready to go. They have learned from LA/Cal. leadership (handled very well) and DC mayor (handled horribly).

Always a great sign when your captors are writing numbers on your arms.

Does pushing back *always* work? No. But we know that not pushing back *never* works.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

Can't get One Battle After Another out of my head. But, as Sensai Sergio would say: courage

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Im insusting on that. Fuck it, why not. They'd be happier

According to data from Ice, we passed a significant milestone. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group arrested and booked into detention by Ice.

the cure for male loneliness is starting an Indivisible group. you're welcome

This is really what is setting him off. Kimmel and even Comey to an extent are distractions. Follow the Jeffrey

I've found myself asking this a lot the past decade or so.

Fucking hell

This would be an *under a minute long* bit on the Office or Parks and Rec 15 years ago.

judging by the rapidity with which this guy shot himself, gonna say suicide was probably at least an equivalent motive to anything else

De Niro: "I gotta go. A couple cases of Tylenol fell off a truck and now I gotta figure out how to put autism in them."

“Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke.”

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"

NBC News projects: Democrat Adelita Grijalva wins the special election for Arizona House District 7. Grijalva will bring the important 218th signature to the chamber's Epstein files discharge petition — forcing Mike Johnson to handle a fight that has divided his conference.

HIM? The pseudo-horror movie? Nah, not Him this time. In fact, HIM sucks. cinetarium.blogspot.com/2025/09/him-...

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Democrats should become the anti-corruption party. 72% of voters think a member of Congress would likely accept a bribe if offered one. 80% say donors run DC. The solution isn’t left vs right, it’s clean vs corrupt. But first, Democrats must reform themselves and reject big money.

The acorn of trumps corruption is in 1973 when he (and dad fred) were accused of discrimination in their rentals in Brooklyn. If not for Roy Cohn, a lot of things could be different in history. Time is a flat circle etc etc etc

One of the great specials of the decade. Just the material on his dad alone is 💯

l'shanah tovah, my good bitches. may we make incredible impressions on 5786.

Seeing a party that abhors vulnerability try to publicly mourn, a very vulnerable thing to do, is like watching a dog trying to drive a car

this is literally just watergate but instead of the Nixon tapes Trump just… tweeted it out

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

(This administration): Have lots of *babies! You should have as many babies as you can! (Also this administration): Once theyre born, dont bother with the vaccinations, they can tough it out. >:( (*some restrictions based on skin color may apply)

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

We still want the Epstein files btw

This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions

The Long Walk adaptation... wow. Francis Lawrence and JT Mollner got it right, and by that everything that King/Bachman was aiming to accomplish with his absolutely grim tale of humanity in the dregs of survival. Top notch cast, especially Johnsson as McVries cinetarium.blogspot.com/2025/09/the-...
