Precious Little Sleep

Picture is of Tom Hanks, sitting on a subway train with his legs crossed, wearing black boots and black pants with a green sweater and a green toque sitting on orange chair. He’s holding onto a support pole, and wearing a black respirator. Behind him on the walls, the subway map.

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..

“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”

More celebrities need to speak out like this.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Tolkien is not perfect but he did, in fact, hate the fucking Nazis.

When he's finally gone, there is going to be this flood of books and tell all interviews from Republicans about how hard it was to be a Republican in Washington during this time and I am going to be galatically furious about it.

Trump is illegally withholding essential funds from Vermonters because he doesn’t like how we voted #dictatorshit

If he manages to build the #EpsteinBallroom then someday it should become an education center about how fascism takes root.

This is how a dictatorship works

christ almighty what is this guy doing

You need to see this…

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

Seeing this acutely in VT - if you can only reach a minute % of voters, perfect messaging doesn't matter

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

This is the correct take.

American fascists are, obviously, very scared about how big a protest "No Kings" will be this weekend, as seen by their hysterical, dishonest rhetoric about it.

Let's make their fears come true by showing up on October 18

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

ICE out! Following our success with the Tesla protest, it's time to turn our energy toward a new challenge. ICE is doing online surveillance out of 2 national facilities, one in Vermont! Stand with your fellow Vermonters to defend our values: a place where all people feel safe, welcomed, and free.

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

To everybody, like me, who lives somewhere where this isn't happening YET, what's the plan?

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

ICE Agents Rappel from Helicopter in Overnight Chicago Raid, Dragging Kids from Beds to U-Hauls Overnight on Tuesday, Sept. 30, federal agents from different agencies raided an apartment building on the South Side of Chicago, pulling men, women and children — some of them allegedly naked — from ...

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

Americans: My family needs healthcare

GOP: No

Americans: It is VERY important

GOP: NO healthcare but here’s coal

Americans: I don’t need coal

GOP: It’s all we have.
Wait, here’s measles.

Americans: But my kid is sick

GOP: The gold in the White House is 24 karat.

Des Moins superintendent kidnapped by ICE

Now pushing no Tylenol for kids. My two small kids recently spiked three fevers in two weeks (Covid, virus, virus). You want me to make them stay up all night sweating and keening rather than give them one safe chewable, drop their temp, and let them go to sleep? You are an actual monster.

*We

Perfect.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
