@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social Guys, in your answer to the question about the significance of the fight on the White House lawn, you missed one other thing: June 18 is THE EVE OF JUNETEENTH! 🤬🤯

Something different tonight

Sold out premiere of Frida y Diego. Spotted half the cast of Eugene Onegin on my side of the house.

Presidential security is not what it used to be

How does someone who arrived in the USA close to 30 years ago and runs in elite circles sound as though she just got off the boat?

@pbsnews.org News Hour SOTU pregame analysis is doing an excellent job prepping us for the @tcmtv.bsky.social 8:00 movie, Gaslight.

Perfect trolling: TCM’s Tuesday prime time movie is “Gaslight”. In case you didn’t have to wash your hair or something. (worth watching in any case for Angela Lansbury’s film debut)

Berlioz alert: Les Troyens on Met broadcast the next two Saturdays. From 1972, with Verrett, Quilico, Vickers, Ludwig, Dunn, McCurdy, Blegen. Kubelik conducts. (autocorrect went nuts on this post!)

I have been remiss in posting. This NYFOS program should be really good!

Amazing testimony at Democrats’ forum from a Minnesota citizen, Wisconsin-born Bangladeshi woman with autism, giving a precise description of her inhumane ICE detention. She’s not alone during this session. Why are We The People allowing this to continue???

So when are the ICE sweeps scheduled to start in South Florida? There are likely some private employers with undocumented immigrant employees…

The arrest of two journalists last night is being widely covered. No one ever talks about the unstated “crime” of reporting while Black

The CNN (not my choice!) reporter just referred to a nanny in the news as an “ow pair”. Is it mean to call this out as inexcusably uneducated for a public media figure on national TV? “Au pair” isn’t that obscure or elitist a term, is it?

A glimpse of spine in 30 seconds: Trump rebukes a reporter for being loud and tells her to let someone else have a chance. She says, “Can you answer the question” and she begins to repeat it—(then someone changed the channel 😠). EVERY WH REPORTER MUST INSIST THAT T ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS!

The song recital isn’t what it used to be. This should be fun!

JD seems to have adopted the Leavitt-Noem playbook of blatantly lying in the face of the evidence. How will that play out if he lands in the Oval, given his current popularity?

PSA: The Five Calls app is already updated with today’s events. You know what to do.

Oh come ON! gothamist.com/news/nyc-weg...

New Hour’s Amna Nawaz is holding her own against Grenell’s patronizing, gaslighting, mansplaining interview about the Trump KenCen transition. Way for the new director to alienate an arts audience!

I’m surfing the web trying to find Romanian cuisine for a friend who is visiting a small city near the Ukrainian border. The world is small indeed. ( no I don’t speak Romanian, why do you ask?)

@msnownews.bsky.social Since MSNBC adopted a new identity and moved into the new studio, we’ve been experiencing many pixelated break-ups. Any other repots of this? Not a good look.

MTG on the News Hour 👀

The opera house is too big but the music is exquisite

This should be fun!

@ms.now This new channel has frequent transmission glitches (pixelation, sound drop outs) not experienced with other channels, at least on RCN Manhattan. Is this being addressed?

The president may enjoy blanket immunity but his staff does not. A press secretary who places opposition spokespersons in danger by misquoting them is flirting with slander.

Sasha Cooke in a very interesting program!

To escape nonstop Epstein reporting I tuned to @france24.com , which is covering the 10th anniversary of the Paris terrorist attacks. I was in Paris at the time, staying nearby; it felt eerily like 9/11. Today France remains on high alert, while we fire career security experts. #priorities

So did I simply miss the NYTimes mayoral endorsement or what?

Like I said, frogs @tmalesys.bsky.social

Take your cue from Portland and dress up for Saturday’s NO KINGS March! Peruse this thread for ideas. 🐸 @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnellmsnbc.com

Not all the news is bad www.france24.com/en/france/20...

You have to wonder whether Lindsey Halligan has a mentor or even any friends in the profession. Seems like she’s walking off a plank over shark-infested waters.

Spotted last night on n the sidewalk behind Lincoln Center.

50 pianos, 11,000 strings in just intonation.

We’ve all been there—some of us anyway—on one side of the equation or other.

Supposedly the teleprompter is working again, but he’s clearly riffing from some fever dream. So embarrassing.

And suddenly , mid-monologue , @lastword.msnbc.com is “Temporarily Off Air”. Coincidence? 🤔

WTF is going on with the aggressive questioning of the fired Dr. Monorez (sp?)?

Prophecy from Herman Melville 🤞🏻

Go Gov Pritzger!

FBI searches Bolton’s home and office, T adds 3 more wars that he’s supposedly ended, threatens to fire Fed governor and occupy more sanctuary cities… So what’s up with today’s release of the Epstein files?

Public comments now for-against a Caesar’s Palace casino in Times Square. Highly organized support, especially from construction union members. Info including how to comment here: nycasinos.ny.gov/event/caesar...

Before Trump, I probably struggled to name all the members of SCOTUS. Now I’m following members of the federal judiciary like MVPs in the major leagues. Well, if I actually followed sports.

Possibly unpopular opinion: Gaza and Epstein are proxies for more systemic, frightening policy horrors from this administration. Easier to process the (helpless) rage and despair from moral outrages that don’t affect one personally?

Paris to Patagonia, via Lincoln Center

An evening of dance!

On @pbsnews.org News Hour the FCC chair suggests that broadcast license revocation is a possible response to news coverage that the administration doesn’t consider fair and balanced. 👀 🤯

At Carnegie for a dose of high energy music making (and good air conditioning)
