Mr. Holland’s Bill the Cat

Watched Ghostbusters at the suggestion of my 14yo. That script is tighter than the Purdie shuffle. Bill Murray spinning around like a roller skater in that wide shot as Elmer Bernstein's score swells is the best I've ever seen anyone capture that magical "I'm the luckiest guy in New York" feeling.

It's no small thing to undo a gerrymandering reform at the ballot, such things are so popular there's a real chance Newsom could lose. But framing it as a temporary trigger provision is the smart call on maximizing its chances, leaning into the retaliatory justification framing he needs it to have.

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social making the point that a vote against Zohran is a vote for Trump, and Dem leaders refusing to back him can’t expect to ask for support for other races down the line. @repjeffries @senschumer

yesterday @davidjroth.bsky.social used the phrase “their brains were defeated by their phones” and i genuinely think we’ve lost like meaningful swaths of some generations to this

His Muppets were bonkers

Glad you asked this - I thought I missed something?

So, uh, I don't remember it being normal for business leaders to seek audience with the president while bearing tributes of gold

Yes We Klan!

(seems like creatives should be using the occasion to counter ICE marketing every which way)

a big fan of Camille and the looks she’s cookin up at NB GOODS- I got to snag this one-off sample based on their logo proudly merging our shared NJ>TN roots.

My mascot is Fried Bologna but I’m open to suggestions.

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

They "don't believe in erasing American history." Unless you're talking about slavery. Or the genocide of Indigenous people. Or Japanese internment camps. Or the Tulsa massacre. Or Jim Crow. Or January 6th.

Brazil's economy ready to ride out Trump's 50% tariff Brazilian goods imported by the United States will soon carry one of the highest tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, but that will not likely derail Latin America's largest economy, due to ample exemptions and stronger trade ties with China.

Why are tariffs on Brazil 50%?

The answer tells you where President Trump’s allegiances lie and it’s not with fostering the budgets of American households or faith in democracies worldwide.

If anything, they foster Brazil’s trade relationship with China.

Yes - see also the gerrymandering of Nashville by the TN GOP supermajority.

But, TN7 is open this next election.

NASHVILLE - District 06
Rep John Rose invited, it’s happening whether he’s there or not.

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

Whoa, Alabama. 💥

Birmingham-area activists put up a Trump–Epstein billboard on a busy highway: “What’s the big secret, fellas?”

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

We will all be sicker and poorer and worse off because they are turning biomedical research into a bonfire, lit with the torch of their lies about the COVID vaccines. These people hate us so much they'd rather die of cancer than allow us to live without fear.

The FBI released its Uniform Crime Report *today* showing that all categories of violent crime are down in Washington DC, returning to pre-2020 levels.

No crimes. No goodbyes to her infant daughter. Heidy was forcibly removed from the U.S. in 48 hours. We should all be furious. Call Congress to demand due process: 202-224-3121
