Gavin Newsom is being extraordinarily mean to Donald Trump. So I just sent him a donation.

What “political” affiliation does a Pride flag represent? Are there no—ahem—gay republicans? I hope this agent sues…

Fired for displaying a pride flag, followed by a citation of the Constitution.

Shoutout to @nicollewallace.bsky.social for not sugar-coating anything and saying on the air that an ICE agent said “fuck them kids” while handcuffing them naked in Chicago after an apartment raid.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

All these articles positing Tilly Norwood as a star and wondering when the first A.I. actor will win an Oscar are being brought to you by the same tech-bro companies who are spending billions to normalize this shit. Ignore. Create. Use your soul. It’s all we have—and it’s all we need to create Art.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

but at least we denied the presidency to the woman who couldn't prove she'd worked at McDonald's, so there's that

oh, you didn't think it was going to be this bad? fuck you, you're an idiot

Thank you @jeffjarvis.bsky.social for saying this.

Don't worry. We are not giving up on late night.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...

Just thinking about this

If you ask me, they can no longer call themselves the American Broadcasting Company.

Free Speech (1776-2025) Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the People peacefully to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The United States of America has become an authoritarian state.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The countries where comedians can't tell jokes or mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Yes, it does matter.

Do you all get why Harry fucked off to California now?

That thing you want to post isn’t worth it. As tempting as it might be, save it for the group chat or keep it to yourself. The internet is forever and things could get very bad because of an incident like this. Don’t make an unforced error that you have to live with.

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

Kamala Harris October 2024 Presidential debate: Putin would be sitting in Kyiv, with his eyes on the rest of Europe, starting with Poland. Today, Putin launched drones into Poland. Kamala was right again.

Utah shot down a redistricting attempt. Californian courts rejected a challenge to their redistricting attempt. Texas passed theirs, but they’re being sued over it as we speak. Dems have actually had several rulings go our way this week.

That’s simple, actually. They aren’t going after research and healthcare specifically - they’re going after data and verifiable facts period. The entire goal is to keep people dumb and afraid. It’s been their goal to force us into a post-fact society for a long time, and they’re close.

not a journalist, but that doesn't mean I haven't already written the headline

Uncanny resemblance. Some people say he's even more handsome in person. I am told he's considered the number one leader in America. Here's the kicker: he dates age appropriate women, is it because he has unnaturally strong, powerful and large hands as many people say?

that summit could've been an email

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Today is Bode's birthday. He would have been 9 years old. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-m...

Hey, at least Kamala isn’t President, right?

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Breaking:   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Tennessee judge orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia's release from jail before his trial, but ICE is expected to detain him.

Avery is out there doin' ALL THE WORK of the GODS for sweet, lost and abandoned fur babies... if you're able to help, please do. LUH YOU @averybanks.bsky.social

You're 65 to 100+ years old and retired. You're collecting Social Security benefits that YOU PAID INTO your whole fucking working life... that either help you pay your bills or keep you alive... and this dickdrip fuckwad wants you to go back to work. Today's GOP.

Anyone who has worked around a lot of LE, no matter the agency or dept there’s a certain way officers carry themselves. Not to mention dress, none of the videos I see of ICE look like men who have ever been trained. You think details don’t matter, shoes don’t lie, but Trump does.

Los Angeles is a powder keg of solidarity right now. The city is united. We’ve been through two labor strikes, two devastating fires, the business is in major contraction—it’s just a bad time to fuck with Angelenos. ICE knows this. They want violence. Don’t give it to them. Shoot video. Stay strong✊🏼

To show up to the Oval in a tshirt, not remove his hat, and bring a toddler along for a serious press conference has Elmo's disdain for America on full display. He is here to raid the data and impose as many penalties as possible on black people & women.. that last part just because it amuses him.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

I’m trying not to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole on the last election. However, I am finding it very hard considering how abnormal it is for six swing states to all swing one way. Then Musk brings in hackers to destroy our government. How can I not think they stole the election?

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
