UPDATE: Though she and her daughters were here legally, they’ve been deported. And JD Vance has the fcking gall to show his face at Disneyland.

Humanity is so wild because on the one hand…THAT person in the White House…and on the other hand a guy who dances with his rescue parrot to help her regrow her feathers and sense of security 😭 Less of the former, more of the latter please!

Our sweet housekeeper was detained by ICE at her last check-in and sent with her minor daughters to a facility in TX. We have hope she’ll be released. If you’d like to donate to help with legal fees & other costs associated with her life being flipped upside down: www.gofundme.com/f/legal-aid-...

The WGA earnings report is out and employment is down roughly 30% since the strikes (and related industry contraction). Not great. To say the least.

Spotted at a Los Angeles area Home Depot. Tried to tell a (fellow white lady) cashier and she rolled her eyes and said she’s “not getting into politics.” Am I out of line or was she? #IYKYK

When Tech Bros say they want Artificial General Intelligence, they’re saying that they want a human-level intelligence, a consciousness, a person — who can never quit, who doesn’t get paid, and who they own completely. They’re admitting that what they really want is slaves.

Every year that passes, I come to better appreciate just how traumatic members of the US elite find it to be yelled at by progressive young people. It is *vastly* more upsetting to them than being yelled at by reactionaries. They warp their entire identities & ideologies around it!

We should be able to buy adderall, testosterone & estrogen OTC at Walmart while buying a gun should require 6-12 months of intensive therapy beforehand and monthly reapproval from your psychiatrist

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

I think rich people should all hire 1 normal person a year to talk back to them about how awful they are. At the end of the year your service is up and you get a million dollars. Like jury duty but more annoying and more lucrative.

I just found out that I’ve become allergic …to my allergy medications Halp.

I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

This is so real lmaoooo "She booked a solo trip to Iceland while you were composing your <<good morning>> text" 😂😂

mega congrats to my good friend and incredibly talented writer and fabulous human @jameyjean.bsky.social on her first Leverage Redemption episode! it was a DELIGHT in every way WE LOVE TO SEE IT 👏🔥🩷

Leverage and Leverage Redemption are better than all the Oceans movies and fulfills your heart's desire to see the rich and powerful bad guys get what they deserve.

I would also watch this, but in the meantime, might I recommend a little show called LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION? (And its predecessor, LEVERAGE.) A terrible rich person gets royally screwed in every episode! I'm biased, but I do believe it's rather delightful.

Leverage is comfort food tv because of the robin hood eat the rich vibes but also the found family and character development It's a lil camp but genuine at heart I can't wait for the next season of Leverage Redemption, you can tell the trailer's shot and lit so much better.

Leverage: Redemption would be a beautiful name for a baby girl

This morning when I walked past the NIH: -- two Teslas in a row waved in by security at an employee entrance gate -- a shiny new taco truck called "Trippy Tacos" arguing unsuccessfully with security guards at another employee gate In unrelated news, Leverage Redemption S3 starts April 17.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Leverage: Redemption has launched its third season on Amazon Prime. I like it better than the brilliant original. The team of con artists and thieves are even more fun without a real “father figure.” 4-17-25.

I’ve LOVED Leverage since day one. Rewatched it many times. Watching the rich and powerful get destroyed is pure wish fulfillment for me. A perfect escape in these dark times. Plus the actors, writing, and everything else is top notch. I hope you keep making Redemption for many years.

AAAAAA TOMORROW IS LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION AAAAAAAAA (seen in NYC, thank you @johnrogers.bsky.social and @deandevlin.bsky.social and Chris Downey and all the amazing directors and writers!)

If you’re one of the many who subscribed to Prime just to see Leverage: Redemption, please tag them and let them know!

Oh believe me, this article got dropped into our LEVERAGE writers group chat pretty much the second it published lol

Oh my gosh LeveragE IS BACK LEVERAGE IS BACK!

April 17th! Mark your calendars. #LeverageRedemption is BACK! Our biggest, wildest season yet! Only on @AmazonPrime

Tonight's the night... decider.com/2025/04/16/l... If you've never seen Leverage, I highly recommend correcting that: Robin Hood heisting. It's brilliantly written with a fab cast & - better yet - a disabled writer on the team this season (👋 @jameyjean.bsky.social - are you having a premiere party?)

Oh hey, just some more great press from @avclub.com for LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION! My episode even gets two shout-outs! S3 premieres TOMORROW on Prime Video, with the drop of the first three episodes (mine is #3!) www.avclub.com/leverage-red...

In a way, it is kinda poetic that the country's inability to accept a black woman directly led to its downfall as a global power

it's kind of fascinating how none of the ideas on how to fix the crisis of masculinity (or male loneliness or whatever) are ever "men work on connecting with each other and being kinder to others"

It is not and has never been about wealth or prosperity in an objective sense. It's about control of human beings and the wealthy have more control and power in a desperate, shrinking economy than they do in a prosperous and wealthy one.
