Make it viral.

It was! Great memories watching that show.

Exactly this

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Can't wait!

Wow! I sure feel both freer and safer!

But will they be better jobs?

None of this happened.

Like clockwork. He is a chaos monkey throwing feces.

Thank you! For actually doing something, making a stand.

Yep

Always hard! Distilling 100 pages into a sentence!

A tweet by Casey McGaw ( @CaseyeyMcGaw ): "“Too loud, too reckless, too ghetto” “Uncle Sam” representing those who tell the Black community how to behave. Dancers form a disconnected American flag. Cultural significance. Kendrick Lamar. #SuperBowl🏈" with images of dancers in red, white, and blue forming an American flag and a person in an Uncle Sam outfit.

It went right over MAGA heads. They just saw “DEI.”

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

Put this quote up on the damn wall of every writers room.

welcome!

AOC: “We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration.” 🇺🇸

They are just topping each other with the suck uppery. Congress passed a law that was started with Donald Trump. Now he’s going to “save” it.

"I used to go to Bob's Big Boy restaurant just about every day from the mid-seventies until the early eighties. I'd have a milk shake and sit and think. There's a safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner."

David Lynch on inspiration in diners.

2025 in a nutshell…

Now you can wear a “Make Movies Shorter” hat to THE BRUTALIST and say you did it to fight the LA wildfires!

LA's wildfires sparked by rare collision of climate factors Extremely dry conditions and an hurricane force winds are overlapping unusually late in the year.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.

Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.

But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.

What planet are they living on?
