Look, I don't think it's good that we can't make fun of the world's biggest dead pedophile because he was friends with the president. So we kept going. We called every independent theatre we knew in major metro areas to see if they wanted to air Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. Most said yes.

Despite the fact that Charlie Kirk is not in this documentary, our distributor, a major national movie chain, got cold feet and pulled out. Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile had Donald Trump in it, so they were out.

Hey, whatever you do, don't call these street thugs who are snatching up immigrants and violently assaulting women "Nazis" because that will hurt their poor little feelings.

But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

Seconds earlier, her husband had been abducted by masked ICE agents who did not identify themselves, did not present a warrant, did not give any lawful grounds for his detention.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Kristi Noem issues a warning: do not criticize the regime. Stop saying we're acting like the gestapo or we will act like the gestapo. A THREAD.

If the dems shut down the government the GOP will do mass firings, as opposed to the mass firings they've been doing for the past eight months, and the ones they'll continue to do after the dems cave.

I find it weird that people are painting Mamdani as an extreme outsider. The US govt. has taken ownership positions in major US companies like Intel (and soon TikTok). Mamdani wants to open a city-run grocery store to sell cheap groceries. And you're telling me the second is a radical socialist.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

In re: the FBI's statements about the shooter who killed and injured ICE detainees, but harmed no ICE agents: the admin's propaganda tenet of "lie early, lie often" applies. I think I'm going to start calling the "government," the "MAGAvernment," because I don't see any governing happening.

this man needs to be in jail and every govt that refuses to follow the law because he's rich is endangering the public

Same.

😢

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better. [reads any New York Times focus group] Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]

i feel we dramatically overestimate the intelligence of the American electorate

once again trump’s great political asset is that voters literally do not believe anything he says

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

But, to be fair, “Originalist” and “Textualist” have always been pretexts by bad-faith ideologues to justify their desired outcomes when they had no real arguments, and have never been applied with logical consistency when they were inconvenient to their needs.

The whole speech is amazing. Here’s Sam Waterston delivering it at the Cooper Union, playing Lincoln himself. Start at 48:24 for a very, very relevant section. The whole thing is incredible though, if you’ve the time. youtu.be/oeT1L_hB5cs?...

I listened to the whole speech with admiration and fascination, while mourning the sad fact that the same people now calling themselves Republican are doing the exact same things for the exact same reasons today as they did then, when they were just as fanatically opposing Republicans.

Again Bouie from the top rope

Imagine living in a world where Jamelle had even half as much influence as these right-wing cranks. bsky.app/profile/unav...

My fav b/w film (well, among a few others)

So the gunman in Dallas shot detainees, not ICE, and authorities are calling it an targeted act of violence against ICE. Got it.

My fav b/w film (well, among a few others)

I have to assume this means he keeps everything hidden behind fabric and just thrusts wildly as she runs past.

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

Somehow all of these agencies were able to do their jobs before, unmasked. I wonder what's different now.

Didn’t he call Trump Hitler

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Sadly, an evergreen tweet.

Two big firsts today. No other American president has ever named a political opponent to be prosecuted—much less had an AG follow through with an indictment. No FBI Director has ever released evidence from a live crime scene. The Epstein files must be SO BAD.

Top congressional Republicans and White House allies are working behind the scenes to prevent a politically charged floor vote to release the government’s Jeffrey Epstein case files next month. The growing effort to halt that floor vote comes as the discharge petition reached the 218 votes needed.

Accurate on both counts.

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot. Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

what i want to know is how many people canceled reservations at disney properties

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

This can't be like the FBI, where Republicans treat it as a purely partisan office, and Democrats respect their choices. If we're going to have a unitary executive, the next Democratic president should pledge to purge every single Trump appointee on day one.

Remember that the same court that essentially declared Trump above all laws & regulations & with the power to unilaterally override any Congressional authority or established limits ALSO said that Biden didn’t have the power to do anything at all. Because it only cares about Republican supremacy.
