They are stealing taxpayer dollars from blue states because Democrats in Congress refuse to give Trump a blank check for his authoritarianism. Corruption. Coercion. Blackmail. Lawlessness.  I won’t bend the knee to a wannabe dictator and his cronies. We will prevail.

Tonight on a NY1 interview, Andrew Cuomo described Zohran Mamdani as "an existential threat" to New Yorkers and the Democratic Party. I can't say strongly enough that this is despicable, dangerous, irresponsible language. I've never held Cuomo in high esteem; let this election be his banishment.

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

Fuckin yikes, man

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, & should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I hope thst one day we are embarrassed by the subservient cult of personality that has been allowed to grow in this country.

1962 Houston things have been a little down to start the decade, FVE and the season of the Iron Claw is still a couple of years away and Morris and Frank need heels. Letter to Jack Pfefer from the Father Ted Hesburgh Library's special collections at U of ND.

As mentioned on the the upcoming Episode 81 of GKOSRT Two Cool Cats, Sylvester & Morris, Part One, this is the feral cat who lives under our mud room steps sometimes. Probably the the one I call Dizzy.

Before the election, they claimed that they weren’t protesting Trump because he wasn’t in power. Well, now he’s the president, and they’re still protesting Kamala Harris, not him. It’s clear these Free Palestine protesters are disingenuous. Almost like they just want to humiliate a Black woman. 🤔

Told the s.o. if we got cat siblings they were going to be named Izzy and Dizzy. Got a tentative thumbs up.

Week One.

“It’s gotten so easy to pick out the bad guys. One after another, at an escalating pace, the corporate cowards are abandoning their duty as citizens and kowtowing to Trump in a pathetic display of weakness and avarice.” www.americaamerica.news/p/capitulati...

Hollywood unions and guilds can take collective action vs Disney/ABC for folding; Americans can call local TV affiliate stations to return Kimmel; Disney shareholders can reject quisling management; and House and Senate D leaders can also vow to impeach Carr if he is still around when they get majs

JYD was my first favorite wrestler in the early 80s.

I will say my first thought on reading this quotation was that the existence of the professional opinion-having “position” people like Ezra Klein occupy is, ultimately, part of the problem, because ultimately the people in a position like that are going to behave like Ezra Klein

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

📌When Ezra Klein typed Thursday, presumably with a blindfold on, that the gun-loving, racist homophobe, Charlie Kirk, was "practicing politics the right way” he lost the right to be taken seriously as a credible writer ever again.

It’s gotten easier and easier to see who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. But I didn’t realize there were so many cowardly bad guys who’d sell out America and our most sacred rights.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Another Hump day classic rasslin envelope to help get you through another awful news day. This is circa 1941 from Sterling "Dizzy" Davis to Jack Pfefer from Mexico.

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.

It seemed crazy fitting that "All the President's Men" star Robert Redford passed away on the same day the Washington Post became dead to me by bowing again to fascism and firing its moral beacon, @karenattiah.bsky.social A personal essay on losing a youthful dream www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Happy hump day: Here's your classic rasslin logo from the Pfefer collection at the Hesburgh to get you through the week. This is my narrator "Nature Boy" Tommy Phelps, aka "Your boy Izzy" using the Southwest States (Amarillo) logo of the winner and the vanquished foe.

Only one thing could make Boyd make this face. Okay, maybe two things.

the right’s cancel culture amounts to “thou shall not speak ill of Charlie Kirk,” a surprising position for someone they lauded for debating critics. (Some of his critics question whether Kirk practiced good faith debate requiring a shared set of facts or merely standard issue demagoguery.)
