if you’re making it easier for someone to get an AR-15 and measles and harder to get food and healthcare you’re on the wrong fucking side

That’s not a “bark”, that’s an evil laugh…

If you have to sit through a production of “Waiting for Godot” (and you probably should at some point in your life) this is a surprisingly good one.

Will ICE get paid during the shutdown? Will they get the ridiculous perks ($50k sign on bonuses and student loan forgiveness)? Asking out of pure ignorance and potentially excitement.

Sorry, Netflix, I’m already living it.

Pro-Life, indeed. 🫩

🤞 IYKYK 😏

Well it is now…

• Cancel Paramount+ • Donate savings to PBS & NPR • Call it a “financial decision”

The Late Show is the number 1 show in it’s time slot. This is POLITICAL. It’s time the @broadwayleague.bsky.social and @americantheatre.org take the TONYs off Paramount/CBS to someplace that doesn’t believe in censorship and bending the knee to dictators. Maybe Stephen Colbert could host.

Guys, don’t do this. Also….Bots, don’t do this.

Suddenly realizing/thinking about how a certain segment of White Americans defund education because they think that being born white automatically makes them smarter, and funding public schools is akin to DEI

Shall we create a group for people who were able to get A Chorus Line Anniversary tickets today? At the very least for the emotional support of the experience securing the tickets? That was brutal! Who’s going? #theatrebluesky

Dear National @democrats.org There was a Primary in NYC. The PEOPLE have OVERWHELMINGLY spoken. We chose Zohan Mamdani. Like you always tell us: Vote Blue No Matter Who. Get your shit together and stand behind him. Start enthusiastically endorsing the person the people selected for NYC Mayor!

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Hitting up eBay for my fallout shelter tonight.

I believe we have indeed found the Highway to Hell…

It is time for state and local governments to arrest masked officers who won’t produce warrants and who have no proof someone is undocumented. Kidnappers should be arrested and indicted and tried for kidnapping and serve the many years such sentences carry.

If you think I won’t be pepper spraying or tasering the lot of them if they’re anywhere near me while screaming RAPE at the top of my lungs…you’ve got another think coming…

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but: BILLIONAIRES DO NOT NEED MORE MONEY!

I WOULD LIKE THE SLEEPY PRESIDENT BACK, PLEASE.

This is a large rock. It’s smarter than at least one person I can think of.

The city of #Milwaukee and its surrounding communities need to pull together and mass-protest ASAP. Your senators, congresscritters, and Governor need to be held accountable too. (If I had the means to get there from NY I would. I’m just going to call those senators)

I was given a weighted blanket for my birthday last week and I think I’m just going to stay under it for the next 3.75 years.

Talking about being President….this scene from the “Malcolm in the Middle” series finale just hits and hurts differently now.

They also underestimated the solidarity of allies in this moment, who are practicing what they preach. Allyship has been (slowly) moving beyond lip service and performative acts over the last decade. (And it’s about time)

Better be 100% white men, otherwise we’re looking at DEI hires, right? Immigrants and women took all their jobs, so now that that’s been fixed…

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

What a chump. Doesn’t he know what happens next? 🧵1

Even if factory jobs were to return to the USA (in years, not overnight) the GOP will have destroyed the minimum wage & child labor protections in that time, justified by “We’re in a Depression, we have to!” Our factories will be dangerous, automated sweatshops at best. No Greatness in any of that.

Reflecting on how my grandparents first lived through WWI and the 1918 flu as little children, then the Great Depression in their 20’s and WWII in their 30’s, it’s no wonder they all had a cocktail in their hand the rest of their lives.

I think the French gave us the Statue of Liberty as a not so subtle hint that if it all goes to hell we’re to torch it to the ground.

Chuck Schumer is allowing the frog to be slowly boiled.

American Flag 1977 With apologies to Robert Mapplethorpe.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

I don’t recall Vance thanking the American taxpayers for a paid family ski trip ⛷ with only 6 weeks on the job. Did you get a thank you? Text, call, card, anything?

I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation made of many, indivisible, with the promise of liberty and justice for all.

I’ve never been so embarrassed to be an American, and I remember “Freedom Fries”.

Prediction: we’re not gonna make it.

The world needs to be reminded of the heroes that came before. Pull strength and inspiration from them. Tonight at 9EST (in 30 minutes) on PBS, the story of NAACP leader Walter White. #blackhistorymonth www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

This will probably be the most powerful New Yorker cover of my lifetime. I remember gasping when I took it out of my mailbox. Hard to believe the issue was 8 years ago this past week. Some of us knew even then what was coming.

Look, if you believe in kings, then let’s be honest—you can’t call yourself a patriot. You just can’t. You don’t get to wrap yourself in the flag of a country that was quite literally founded on rejecting a monarchy while, at the same time, wishing for one. That’s not how this works.

We’re in the midst of another big Covid wave, despite what the (lack of) government information says. How do I know? Well, 1st I finally got it for the first time after 5 years and continued masking in NYC. 2nd I’ve been on hold with NYC’s Covid hotline for almost 2.5 hours now. Take care of you!

If you go back and read the country’s original user manual it lists factors that help you identify monarchical malware and suggests solutions.
