Happy Friyay, friends! Hoping for a decent day. Everyone stay safe out there! Here's our giggle for the morning! #SheShed

“I am just one person…this is an achievement of a whole society.” María Corina Machado joins a long line of Nobel Peace Prize laureates who were awakened in the middle of the night to learn that the Nobel Committee was just minutes away from announcing their award.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

This is brilliant.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

We all wanted Trump to be more pro-woman; we just didn't expect that woman to be Ghislaine Maxwell

The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries. www.rawstory.com/trump-oregon...

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

This isn't subtle or metaphorical: Stephen Miller has repeatedly declared the federal government will use violence against officers of the legal system. Now he's calling a federal judge part of "an organized terrorist attack" and saying it's an "absolute necessity" to deploy troops against her.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

Blair is godfather to the oldest of Murdoch & Deng’s daughters. His TB Institute is swimming in Larry Ellison / Oracle 💰 …to the tune of £half a BILLION Ellison is best mates with Netanyahu Oracle & its partner company Rafael Systems are deep in Israeli defence and intelligence industry.

PM of Albania having a good laugh with President of Azerbaijan and Macron about Trump repeatedly claiming that he ended the war between their two countries which were not at war with each other.

"I’m arguing that Ezra Klein is lost in the moment. But he says the same himself."

Newsom answers Trump’s racist Jeffries videos… 👀

Pharmacists who recommend homeopathy should be willing to accept as payment envelopes that once contained money. - @davidjuurlink.bsky.social

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

“What Trump is really doing is advancing a plan laid down years ago by plutocrats and polluters. And making a mockery of our country as he does so” @michaelemann.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Ignoring the legality of Trump’s tariffs, they’re idiotic. Half of US soybeans used to be exported to China; now is zero. Trump will use tariff income to pay US farmers, but soybeans are being grown for nothing, adding to greenhouse gas emissions. Idiotic.

The Poison Pill to End the MMR is Tylenol, by @angierasmussen.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

They've known it for years.

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

Republicans want to prosecute the left for incendiary words that could lead to violence. They should read Kirk’s own words first. www.thebulwark.com/p/charlie-ki...

I'm still not gonna resubscribe to Disney... I said I might if they reinstated him, but I changed my mind. I'm not going to.

This is not a person in command of their mental faculties. Thank you to ABC for just letting the president speak for a couple of minutes so that we all can see how off he really is.

'Tylenol' is known in the civilised world as Paracetamol 2.4 million children born in Sweden between 1995 and 2019. Studied 186,000 children whose mothers were treated with paracetamol during pregnancy. news.ki.se/no-link-betw...

This MAGA/MAHA/Trump/RFK Jr/Dr Oz/Dr Bhattacharya press conference right now is quite possibly the worst press conference—from the viewpoints of medicine, public health, & medical ethics—that I’ve ever seen. These men are so shameless & deeply irresponsible. Wherever happened to science & evidence?

MAGA, because it's a cult, doesn't realize the majority in America and around the world think today's spectacle was truly weird, sad, and unhinged. In no way did it honor Charlie Kirk. It abused his murder as a political rally in honor of their King, Donald Trump. Hella weird.

RDI Chairman @garrykasparov.bsky.social: "Last night, apropos of nothing at all, I was thinking about how in Russia, you can’t go on television and make fun of the president or his favorites."

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

This is worth your time haha youtu.be/7vRX-BQAjeE

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.

When you meet someone who wants you to be institutionalized, prosecuted, or killed, you should be asking yourself: what do I have in common with this person? Tomorrow from Ezra Klein

Had to double check if this was real. It is.

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

Ruffalo: I'm reaching out to all of my brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry, to join us...They're coming after celebrities because they know we are the last ones to actually be able to have our freedom to speak. So use your platform wisely, use it generously for this movement. #NoKings

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

In Kirk's name, Trump is planning a crackdown on free speech and domestic opposition. But nobody pushed the boundaries of free speech more than Kirk. This article details his most incendiary statements. If it was wrong to prosecute him for such statements, it's just as wrong to prosecute the left.

"Trump, Vance, and their propaganda networks do not operate in good faith...The forces of liberalism should stop treating MAGA [as if it] is playing by the same rules...The people operating in good faith need to stop self-flagellating and surrendering preemptively." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Right-wing cancel culture just took Jimmy Kimmel off the air. And ABC’s surrender proves that mainstream media have failed once again to meet the moment. “What we are witnessing is a coordinated campaign of government censorship orchestrated by the White House to silence dissent.”

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

From performative Mr. Free Speech to tiresome unctuous toady
