my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

It should be”we refuse to finance this murderous regime.”

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

I’m frustrated by even otherwise critical press reproducing the Kirk con that he promoted “traditional family values.” I don’t believe there’s a woman in my family tree who’d have ever said she “submitted” to her husband, a fetishist kink Kirk urged upon Taylor Swift.

sweet mother of everything holy a fox news reporter advocated euthanizing homeless people and it isn't even a headline on any newspaper anywhere we are in territory that if you had suggested it to Tim Roberts he would have told you it was too over the top for the movie Bob Roberts.

Thrilled to see growing consensus that Dems must step up in the Continuing Resolution fight. Key to doing so? Refuse to frame this as "shutting down government." Instead, call it what it is - refusing to be an accomplice to turning the government into a weapon against the American people.

This protest is larger than his inauguration. 🤣

We’re going to need a lot of imagination once we eventually emerge from this dictatorship. We’ll need to know our history, understand our values, and be able to talk about it all with a fresh perspective. open.substack.com/pub/freedomo...

“Uncooperative federalism,” Heather Gerken’s phrase, is quite good. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...

F*ck‼️ Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.

@polphilpod.bsky.social wrote a great piece on this theme a while back: www.liberalcurrents.com/trump-alarmi...

If anyone has any leads for freelance work on culture, McCarthyism, films, Hollywood, entertainment history, or the like, please let me know!

This is why no future Democrats should ever assume throwing money at Republicans voters will change their minds when they are happy to believe the lies told to them by their Republican congresspeople.

MAGA is the 3rd uprising of the Confederacy. Jim Crow was the 2nd— a legal and economic system of apartheid that subjugated Black Americans from 1890- 1960s. Only white men had access to money & power. Realize that the battle is between White Supremacy and secular humanism.

That's all Buttigieg was trying to say, which is what started this thread. Anyone claiming that makes him a transphobe throwing people under the bus is playing the sucker's game the GOP wants them to play.

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.

Dear 🇨🇦 and 🌏

Epstein, Trump, and any of the other men did not "have sex" with underage girls. They RAPED them. Say it. Again and again. This was no consensual relationship. It was RAPE.

Lordy! Wow, Hunter's use of the F-word as both a *comma AND a period* while speaking truth is exactly what I needed today! Democrats! Are y'all taking notes? 📝 THIS IS THE ENERGY THAT MEETS THE MOMENT! (Sidebar: is Hunter a mix of Joe Biden AND George Carlin? Holy crap!)

Re: The Maurene Comey firing. What are the chances that Bondi never even considered whether Comey has ties to a bunch of victims (of both Epstein and Diddy) who felt like Comey really fought hard against powerful people to get justice for them. I mean, zero, right?

I'm sorry, nine HUNDRED former DOJ lawyers all signed this letter opposing Emil Bove's nomination to be an appellate federal judge? 900?!

Immigrant Americans embody making a way out of none at all: courage, tenacity, family, community. Things we desperately need more of in this country.

Just me and my non-ambiguous feelings about wanting what’s best for kids. Shoutout to Sen. John Cornyn for the inspiration.

Reciting part of the Declaration of Independence in #LexingtonMA where the fighting began in April 1775.

the #MAGAMurderBill is one of the or the most disgusting pieces of legislation in my lifetime. We've got to talk to voters the right way about it, instead of the clusterfuck circular firing squad Dems usually have. And electeds need better consultants and messaging.

📣 Republicans just passed the #MAGAMurderBill into law. I'm updating my House District-level healthcare enrollment pie charts w/the latest data, 2024 partisan lean & the population at risk of losing coverage highlighted. Next up: #IDAHO acasignups.net/cd-pie-chart...

Might I suggest what you want to remember you were doing the day after an American concentration camp opened in your lifetime is not arguing online about the camp’s name, but directly asking one person you trust what you could do together to help close the camp.

Love the Dodgers, my growing up home team!

Shocked to learn the overgrown Republican rich kid who’s never bothered to learn anything is starting a war with a country that didn’t attack us over weapons that don’t exist.

THIS x 1,000,000. Honestly I don’t know who this person is (this clip popped up on social media) but I would vote for them tomorrow.

We, the people, have spoken!

Wow!

Another remarkable view down 5th Avenue. Tens of thousands united in saying no to Trump, no to ICE, no to fascism and #NoKings. (🎥 Unheard Voices)

Please amplify this Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.
