HOLY SHIT. HATS OFF TO SNL. Way to figure out a way to take a dig at the men’s hockey team AND Trump and make the boys palatable. Thank you for not betraying us while Connor was hosting. Thank you for the acknowledgment. This was masterful.

Do you all remember that movie, where the president of the United States was involved in a major sex scandal…so he went to war in Albania to keep the media distracted from the sex scandal? I think it was called Wag The Dog. Don’t know why I’m thinking about that right now.

They subpoenaed Hillary Clinton to testify about Epstein—then banned the press from watching. She released her full opening statement. You should hear every word of it and why this matters. Watch here:

Netflix just dropped out of the Warner Bros. bid. So now David Ellison—Trump alis, billionaire's son, literal State of the Union guest—is now poised to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and Warner Bros. For so many reasons, this is fucking terrifying.

TW: Antisemitism, bigotry So Paramount is distancing itself from Eliza Orlins, but not Stephenie LaGrossa who was disgustingly antisemitic and seems pretty hateful all around. Did I get that right? 😒

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

SOTU response was one of the strongest pieces of rhetoric we've seen from a Democrat in the Trump era. "Is the President working for you?" is a powerful, clear way of framing of an argument all the way through to the midterms.

A fellow Survivor contestant called
@elizaorlins.bsky.social
"f*cking Jewish" and invoked antisemitic tropes about Jewish wealth. CBS cast that person on 'Survivor 50' and reportedly pressured Orlins to stop talking about it. Credit to her for continuing to speak out. CBS should answer for this.

Just in case you’re still not boycotting CBS and Paramount … please watch this video. One of the Survvior 50 contestants hurled antisemitic and cruel remarks at Eliza and the network is choosing to ignore it. They’re once again proving to be nothing more than state sponsored propaganda.

CBS says: we are against antisemitism and pro-free speech. CBS actions: we defend antisemites and cancel late night talk shows because we don't like them making fun of our dear leader (whom we paid $16 million so our former bosses can make more money on a sale to the president's oligarchy)
