Trump’s Rob Reiner comment was low even for him, but it’s the week of Epstein Files release and Affordable Care deadline, so look for more stupid Trump stuff to distract you from that. Epstein. Health care. Eye on the ball.

How wonderful would it be if The Orange Felon's reaction to Rob Reiner's murder was the straw that _finally_ broke the camel's back? #MAGA #RobReiner #USPolitics #TFG

It's odd to find myself in total agreement with Rand Paul, but he's on the money here and I’m glad he’s speaking out.

Never accept a lecture on decency, civility, or respect from a Trump supporter. Never tolerate it.

Although Trump’s abhorrent political beliefs are ultimately more damaging to the nation, his reprehensible personality is more shocking to me on a personal level. I can’t fathom how anyone can support someone who is so obviously a terrible human being.

“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

🚨While grieving his loss, let his memories and, his wisdom help us. Honoring his life has so many meanings to so many of us. May he and his wife rest in power. 💔 1/2

While many other news outlets do their usual soft pedalling of the White House sociopathy,one got it right.

By accounts, aside from his obvious talent, Rob Reiner was a gentle, kind, warm, compassionate man. Even if he hadn't given us great films, we'd still be worse off without him. We need gentle, kind, warm, compassionate people. Now more than ever. May his memory be a blessing. #RobReiner #RIP

Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) on Trump social media post: "Trump’s statement is sick and dangerous because he suggests the Reiners killings were because they were vocal critics of the Trump admin. This rhetoric divides the country, paints targets on private citizens and risks inciting political violence"

I continue to not wish The Orange Felon dead. * (Reads what he wrote about Rob Reiner.) He continues to make it REALLY F***KING HARD not to. * Why not? I don't believe it's healthy, as a society, to allow outselves to wish anyone dead. I wish him imprisoned and powerless, not dead.

The hero who disarmed one of the men attacking Jews at a Hanukkah celebration is Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim. He sustained at least two bullet wounds and is being treated in hospital. Unarmed, he jumped the attacker and took his rifle off him. #Heroism #Bondi www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rob Reiner was an American Icon who, through his art and activism, held a mirror up to American culture. His talent, humor, activism, and patriotism will be missed. Our heart breaks at the senseless loss of our friend.

Dear God, what a loss. RIP Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. He was a perfectly competent actor but his gift was directing. Amongst others he directed and co-wrote This Is Spinal Tap, perhaps _the_ best mockumentary made. Thoughts to their family. #RobReiner #RIP www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Horrifying to hear about the shootings at Brown University and at a Hanukkah festival on Bondi beach. I'm thinking of the injured and bereaved. I hope for swift justice. We must step back from this constant rage in the world. In many different ways, it's killing us. It's killing us. 😢 #Terrorism

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

“What most struck me is the brutality and physical violence involved in every story,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal. “This is stuff that should be unrecognizable as America. It should make everyday Americans outraged.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Yeah, this happened.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

You know, I'm 70 years old, and I've been thru hell, climbed close to heaven, and touched back down here on Earth, which had everything necessary for humans to thrive. Greed has destroyed much. Maybe it's too late to save it. But we need to try.

"It's completely misleading to suggest challenges in the immigration system are anything to do with the ECHR" @elliechowns.bsky.social discusses how watering down human rights panders to far-right narratives and distracts from real solutions to issues with our migration system.

This is obscene. That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face. We are the 99.999%. Tax the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk
