They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term. They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Amazed at the number of guys who are willing to give interviews about how since they didn’t find love with women they found love with the computer that’s poisoning people in black neighborhoods

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America. They just want to kill Americans.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

Does anyone else find it a tad bit interesting that in 2008 Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood lost to No Country for Old Men, and 17 years later Anderson makes his own No Country with #OneBattleAfterAnother? 🤔

Grenell is one of the worst of the worst. Really down there on the floor lapping up Trump's urine alongside Steven Miller and Kash Patel.

I've been in Italy for 10 days, no television, and I am speechless watching this shit. Literally, I can't find my words. It's beyond embarrassing. How did we get here? How do we get out?

This is the cringiest MF on the planet. He’s actually saying this to our most senior military officers from around the world.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Yeah this sounds safe

Perfect

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48 Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

“Goebbels, Goebbels, one of us.”

I knew that the shit had truly slammed into the fan when they allowed this creature out of his coffin and let him speak in public.

first they came for bill maher, and i said “wait let me get out of the way”

I sincerely encourage Riley Gaines to do precisely that.

Trump trying to send a DM to Pam Bondi but actually posting it on TruthSocial instead raises new questions about Joe Biden's mental acuity.

Here's a great excerpt from @stefanfatsis.bsky.social's superb new book, Unabridged, which, trust me, you want to read.

Honestly, better them than Paramount.

Democrats now have a huge opening to go on the offensive. Between the RFK vaccine disaster, the Homan bribe, Trump's nakedly corrupt DM to Bondi, and Brendan Carr breaking the law, they should turn on the firehose. As should the press. Doomers will be blocked. TY for your attention to this matter.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

Have they brought the golden calf into the stadium yet?

A memorial-service reminder that there are no feelings about Kirk you are required to "respect." He was an unregenerate bigot and misogynist who seized on a shrewd grift and used it to make our world worse. I fear that we can't yet measure his legacy, but that's all he deserves to be remembered for.

I'm just gonna keep this one handy in the drawer for the day he dies.

A white man killed another white man, but Black people are catching death threats. So, instead of talking about white feelings again, I explored my own death threats, and tips for others who are unused to white America. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Read this now.

that's why you bring the US flag to protests, folks

Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."

Remember when @LastWeekTonight did an exposé on @WeAreSinclair during their pending acquisition of Tribune Broadcasting & Media, only for Tribune themselves to cancel the merger and end up merging into @NXSTMediaGroup instead? youtu.be/GvtNyOzGogc?...

High temps finally below 100°, and my Queen Elizabeth roses have started to bloom. Fall is coming. 😊

A must-read thread: Alex‘s thoughts on the best of #AgathaChristie – born #OTD – on the page and onscreen. Alex and I share a love of ‘Five Little Pigs’ and ‘A Murder Is Announced’ on the page and ‘Evil Under the Sun’ onscreen. Allow me to also plug the novels ‘Sad Cypress’ and ‘Endless Night.’ 😊

So I just published my first book. Well, an e-book. My essay about film director William Dieterle – one of the directors who revolutionized #OldHollywood – was so kindly received, I expanded it into a full book. If you love classic film, I hope you’ll take a look. 😊🎥 www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK127P37/

This is such a bad read for many of us who made the move. Links are not deprioritized here. My readership has exploded since moving to Bluesky, and my mental health and work life balance has improved now that I’m not subject to constant death threats and brain rot that lives on twitter.

With the Kirk assassination becoming clearer, we need to talk about the radicalized, Right Wing subculture that carries out terrorism and mass shootings. They’re an essential part of MAGA and so people really don’t want to see what is undeniable. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-threat...

I recommend everyone watches this

It’s horrific and inexplicable. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are objectively pro-cancer. They’re destroying the entire infrastructure that has made so much progress and is poised to make much more. People will suffer and die because of them. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

The Trump-RFK Jr. War For Cancer...

"When black parents petitioned for desegregated schools during the summer of 1955, for instance, [the local Citizens Council] published the names and publicly called for the petitioners to be placed on an employers' blacklist." Where Charlie Kirk and his fans got some of their ideas...

This is terrifying...

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
