If you have problems with a #Pride Parade then you have problems. #NYC #DEI #inclusivity #takebackourcountry

Today is June 9th, and I'm busy swapping out 2024 file folders with 2025 replacements. Right on time.

"obliterated" This man is a jackass, & if you believe what he says you're a jackass, too. I'm in LA & things are peaceful here. There have been understandable protests against illegal operations by immigration enforcement that take up all of about 2 blocks of city space. FFS

Ok, I didn't make the cover, but I did get my picture in VOGUE! Some coverage of our swanky party celebrating Season 3 of "And Just Like That," coming your way May 29th. It was, shall we say, Fashion Forward. www.vogue.com/slideshow/an...

It really is all going great, as long as you lie and pretend about everything. That's the bargain, I guess.

“I think we have a deal with Russia,” Trump told reporters at the White House The “deal” is that Putin gets to murder, kidnap, and steal whoever & whatever he wants. Who wouldn’t agree? (ME!)

Remarkable, yet predictable, trajectory. 1 Awful human appointed to post for which he's completely inappropriate 2 MAGA says he's great 3 Every misdeed declared a lie 4 "You'll never drive him out" 5 He'll resign/be fired 6 It was all a lefty witch hunt Just watch it happen in comments on Twitter

A li'l somethin' that's comin' up soon...

Weird way to say I caved under pressure

I'm not sure making outrageous threats, then backing off them in the last minute (over and over again), is really the show of strength some people continue to think it is. But it sure can make people who know what's coming a lot of money really fast...while 100s of millions of others can't.

This is the best guidance I've seen so far. "The goal should be a day when 2 million people show up in either New York or Washington and demonstrate that there is an unprecedented mass movement opposing the authoritarians running the federal government." www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...

Dueling Eulogies: Athol Fugard, 2032-2025 United States of America, 1776-2025

Let this b a lesson 2 all those asinine enuf to publish pieces abt the inevitable "showdown" between Trump & Roberts. Conservatives on SCOTUS have NO moral bearings & feel NO obligation 2 the constitution they swore 2 uphold. They r theocratic/corporatist authoritarians. www.cnn.com/2025/02/26/p...

Gee, I wonder where he learned all this from?

Nice!

Welcome to the new USA. Less services, less assistance, less everything other than anger and bigotry. And you let me know if/when you have lower taxes to show for it.

WHAT CAN WE DO?? Well, this is what I did along w/about 350 others today in North Hollywood, CA. If you join, next time there might be 3500. And then 35,000. And then...

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

Interview w/Anthony Romero, A.C.L.U.’s executive director, in The New Yorker. Yes, BUT...the courts are influenced (quite a bit) by 200,000 people in the town square.

Bob Dylan being talked about a lot, with the big film being out, and I find myself wondering if he ever misses shopping for his own prescription medications at places like CVS. Fame can be so isolating.

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

This is sad. The answer to this concern is, "Let them do it." You think the solution is to just hide instead? As if then everything will eventually somehow be okay? Accelerate the process. Let's get on with it.

What can I do??? Hey LA, here are two things you can do TOMORROW! (I went to a protest when Bannon was appointed in 2016. It felt sad a futile, w/less than 200 present. But, eventually, he went to prison. So...)

The immediate impact of this Zez Vaz cartoon is delight at the villain being so instantly identifiable, without being named. Bravo. 1/5

It's true! I did!

I recently chose NOT to buy necessities at Target and instead bought at Costco & Walgreens.

I see a lot of people who were saying, "They're not fascists. This is not fascism," now saying, "You know, this particular kind of fascism is really not so bad." Which is 0% surprising to me. Just immensely disappointing.

Historical evening approaching. Millions of men, fanboyz of E. Musk, will have their first encounters of their lives with the NY Times ...and the encounters will be sexual in nature (of the solo variety).

I watched all 12 mins of this convinced he was talking about today, right now, while it was recorded in 2017. Worth your time. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

New White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did her first press briefing today and told a number of demonstrable lies (about condoms for Gaza, the criminal records of undocumented migrants, and more). This is how the New York Times covered it.

This is shameful. A stain upon our nation. Generals are supposed to refuse unlawful orders, and call out tyranny for what it is when it presents itself. (everyone knows this to be true, tho 80 million or so have convinced themselves they don't)

Side note: You shouldn't have to be German to know this without being told.

RIP to the absolute legend Jules Feiffer: political cartoonist, social satirist, comics historian, illustrated the Phantom Tollbooth, wrote screenplays for Robert Altman and Alain Resnais—and that’s the short version

This is how human beings are supposed to behave. Not only clergy members. She will now be punished for it. A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN ALREADY CALLED FOR HER DEPORTATION!

Sitting Congressman calls for *deportation* of clergy member for daring to include in her sermon a plea for Trump to show mercy to immigrants. Totally normal, well-adjusted human being stuff here. Truly.

Dear #SCOTUS: Please save me from myself, and ban #Twitter, #Facebook, & #Instagram, as well. Thank you.

People who can't stand pressure to be minimally polite in their language, ridiculing it negatively as "woke," like to call a rocket explosion a "rapid unscheduled disassembly."

This should go over real good with the "I don't wanna hafta take a Polio vaccine and you can't make me!" crowd.

The Authori-Publican Party. "We don't care who won. We're the only ones who deserve it." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/o...

Can you imagine how dispiriting it must be to military service members to know #Republicans intend to approve an unqualified, incompetent, lying, cheating, alcohol-abusing, sexual batterer as #SecretaryofDefense? Have you served under an unqualified manager? Should US soldiers?

Everybody knows that it's unelected President Musk who has the REAL power, not Vice President trump.

Is it not slightly contradictory and infuriating that the same people who (wrongly) accused George Soros of dictating liberal/Democratic policy are now openly taking marching orders from the richest man on the planet (who sells unreliable automobiles)?

My dear friend, who checks in on me every day.

Thou shalt not allow polio to come back you stupid fucks.

I’ve read some harsh criticism, but I found “Maria” (Netflix) to be riveting, and Angelina Jolie to be a marvel. So there.

Sorry to be downbeat, but if you think healthcare (& rage over it) is bad now, wait 'till gazillions of Americans w/no retirement savings hit the skids in coming years. I suggest intense pressure on politicians rather than murder, myself, but I guess everyone's got their own beliefs.
