The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

“Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” youtu.be/6a9EAZFL1zE?...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry. The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

Boys, the gig is up The women have had enough

As of tonight they have their own problems: A Dem who's a union shop leader is the top vote getter tonight in a TEXAS State Senate district that Trump carried by 20 pts last year. Donate, canvass and otherwise support this guy and he might have a chance in the run-off. (He already has the beard).

a really key point here. Cuomo's attempt at gutter Islamophobic race baiting failed because Dem voter opinion on Israel-Palestine has shifted more than 70 points since 2023, and he somehow didn't notice prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

Mamdani has now gotten more votes than 1/4 of the members of the United States Senate did when they got elected. The political power being channeled here is immense.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

the last time Dems had a night this good was November 4, 2008

@allenanalysis.bsky.social ♨️ HOLY HELL; 🔥 JB #Pritzker just went nuclear on #Trump: “Donald Trump & his bootlickers have torn down the Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. And Donald Trump and his cronies can f*** all the way off.” 1-2

It is truly the most American thing that the World Series MVP needs a translator to take his post game interview

For the 6th year in a row, a player named Will Smith has won the World Series 2020 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2021 - Will Smith (RP), Braves 2022 - Will Smith (RP), Astros 2023 - Will Smith (RP), Rangers 2024 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers 2025 - Will Smith (C), Dodgers

You know what day should be a national holiday in 2029? THE DAY OF THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLDOZING OF THE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BALLROOM.

He did everything he possibly could to overturn the election & stay in power - threatening his VP, Govs & Secs of States, organizing a mob to storm the Capitol. He knew if he ordered a military coup they would’ve refused & he would’ve been tried for treason. That’s why he left.

#NoKings Miami!

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

If anyone ever asks, "why don't people immigrate to the US the right way?", it's worth noting I was just quoted $14,460 for an O-1 visa application with premium processing. My first O-1 application, without premium processing, was $6,160 in 2018.

What Americans Die from? And what the media reports on... Our World in Data ourworldindata.org/does-the-new...

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

It is pretty goddamn difficult to square this call to resistance and principle with the reality that James Comey is the reason Donald Trump was ever president in the first place.

Frankly it's surprising because one of his favorite things to do is fire people and then talk shit about them, which he's still doing at a lower level with people who don't toe the line. But he's older and significantly weaker this time around so he's much more at his cabinet's mercy

“I think it's worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal." - Charlie Kirk

Less than 11 months ago…

🧵 Authoritarianism, Democratization, and Coalition Politics. The consensus around here is, more or less, that the United States is currently a consolidating authoritarian regime controlled by a mix of reactionary populists and fascists.

One thing about never-Trump Republicans, during Trump II particularly: They understand that the world they knew is dead. They have no investment in either reviving the former GOP (because they understand it's impossible) or maintaining the pre-2016 Democratic Party (because it's not their party).

Not the first time Medvedev has cried sour grapes to the umpire. Looking forward to this racist clown’s career dwindling to the place it deserves to be

Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

When Republicans hold power, they hurt people, tank the economy, and then distort our democracy to preserve their power because hurting people and tanking the economy is unpopular.

I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

remember when Jake Tapper started a campaign to help an American soldier avoid any consequences for running over and killing a Japanese family when he fell asleep at the wheel

My dad is god tier at this. He approached a coach at one of my son’s local bball tourneys… “Dave Bonner, nice to meet you. You know, my oldest son won two nba championships? Know what he was doing in 3rd grade? Losing games in this exact tournament. Maybe chill out on these kids next time.”

lol

Mike D: Prospect Park down to Park Slope, it’s time to listen to All 3 Beastie Boys:

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it." And then... I lost it.

This is literally a chart of Republicans following their cult leader

One thing I find terrifying about this political moment is that Jewish existence in multicultural democracy depends upon solidarity with other marginalized people. If institutional Jewry is cozying up to the state machinery putting minorities in camps—what room is there for solidarity?

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Aside from every word being a lie, it’s absolutely insane to push commuters from the subway to cars. Traffic is a geometry problem and in Manhattan the subway keeps the roads from being even more congested.

The favorite meme I generated over at the other site

Few thoughts for people who continually talk about leaving the country. 1. Not everyone has that option or the resources and that’s not their fault. 2. In terms of solidarity it communicates you won’t be an ally if things get bad. 3. This is a worldwide movement. You can’t escape it.

Deserves to be shared on Bluesky too. The funniest video of all time.
