Zohran Mamdani makes videos educating people about a trans activist and Donald Trump posts an AI video of himself shitting diarrhea all over American citizens.

The news media is trying to stop the former and help the latter.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

What a vile ignorant woman. She's beyond repulsive.

MacKenzie Scott just gave this HBCU its largest gift ever — again MacKenzie Scott donated $63 million to Morgan State University, topping her previous record donation to the school of $40 million.

Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott is donating $63 million to Morgan State University — the largest single private gift in the school’s history.

The gift tops Scott’s record donation of $40 million to the Baltimore HBCU in 2020.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

YouTube video by American Film Institute Diane Keaton on making REDS with Warren Beatty

Here's Diane Keaton at Warren Beatty's AFI tribute, talking about a perfect (no exaggeration) scene in Reds--taking the mystique out of filmmaking and then putting it right back in, in just two minutes. She was exquisite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_RS...

"We expect veto power over the free exercise of the franchise by those we swore to serve and protect."

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

Last night I had the honor of attending a special screening of "The Last Class" at UC Berkeley. I want to thank everyone who attended — and especially thank my friend @wkamaubell.bsky.social for hosting a great conversation afterwards.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Don't let anybody hit you with some form of "I can't believe y'all are so easily distracted. The halftime performer doesn't mean anything."

Putting a global artist who won't even tour in the US bc it's not safe for his community & core fans on the biggest televised US stage matters.

Yes. It is. I’m often quoting it.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, "same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam "Shifty" Schiff, Leticia??? They're all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done." Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That's why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many layers, and legal pundits, say so. Lindsey is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot. We can't delay any longer, it's killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!

“The leader of the free world” wanted to send a DM to Attorney General Pam Bondi. Instead he posted it to everyone on Truth Social.

It’s now been deleted.

Ooop!

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

I wish newspapers wouldn't treat all these executive orders as though they all have teeth and power and stuff. Lots of them are just the fulminations of a geriatric clown and mean nothing or will be overturned in court or are just distractions from what Trump wants to hide about his Epstein crimes.

French braids are an art form. I’d like to learn how, though my shoulder length hair is too short.

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

You’re too good for them.

Thank you for the heads up. I’ll take a look.

Pritzker Claps Back Hard After Ted Cruz Fat-Shames Him With 'Domino's Pizza Line' Dig

The FBI director is not qualified for his job. His response to all of this has been embarrassing. All these unqualified people make our government a joke.

Two pears, one yellow mostly covered with a blush of red and a long upright stem, the other gold green with a tiny nub of a stem. They are on a dark gray counter.

Pears still exist.

What you said was true, not in any way hateful.

Using his evil mentor Roy Cohn’s Deny deny deny for everything. Astonished how effective it is for him and his minions.

"The only thing that really matters now are elections, both next year and in 2028.

"Short of revolution in the streets — highly unlikely — voting is the only way out of this metastasizing mess. That and some enlightened leadership."
