I guess, but if he’s the star of his generation, I’m sorry for that generation’s future. What do I know. I’m an old boomer and grew up with some fine actors, some of whom were in the touching memorial.
#oscars live show should’ve spent the money on more than one microphone hanging from the ceiling. The sound was awful!! And then they cut people’s garbled speeches short.
‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

The war will be over when I feel it in my bone spurs.

Yep. That’s what friends do.
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
Join us at the Ashland Plaza downtown and let's line the street all the way through town for the #NoKings rally.
Our community is coming together to use our voices against President Trump’s corruption and his violent, authoritarian actions and to defend democracy.

He's huddling with Jamie Gorelick, his mentor the Republican power broker who worked for Ivanka and Jared to get them clearance. Huh.

From the failed ethno-nationalist revolt in the early 1990s to the triumph of MAGA extremism - A history of the Republican Party, Part II.
Some thoughts from my new piece:
🧵
cannot emphasize enough that these people are genocidal mass murderers. 100s of thousands of people are dead because of shuttering of US AID. these people did that. they are Nazi mass murderers.
We’ve watched Episode 1 many times since finishing all the seasons. It has everything in it. Everything unfolded from there. Pure genius.

I was disappointed that @crockett.house.gov didn't win the primary. I didn't understand Talarico's appeal, especially when we all know Jasmine is a powerhouse.
Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez's substack helped me understand what's going on with Talarico and the Dems.

So much sane-rehabbing to make him appear like a rational person. He is a moron and just trusted his gut - the same gut that had him convicted of rape, bankrupted, etc etc.
conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity
Trump's Iran war is breaking up the MAGA coalition. Among young and nonwhite working class, only *one in five* approve, per new data I've obtained. That's extraordinary and heartening to see. It's also delivering another blow to Trump's "realignment." 1/

I agree. Season 1 was on fire. Current issues and complex situations. S2 was an excellent follow up. Then it turned into a soap opera.
Press critic @froomkin.bsky.social wants to know: "At what point should a news organization devoted to impartiality start stating the obvious conclusion?"
We have a madman as commander-in-chief, who makes his decisions based on “feelings." presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...
Stephen Miller is a fascist promoting a dictatorship. He's an offputting creep, too – the GOP's Dr. Evil. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he's a “big problem” for Trump. But that's true only if Democrats take advantage and tie Miller to Republicans in the midterms.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

Just a reminder: "No organization put more boots on the ground at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, than the Proud Boys, and they were at the forefront of every major breach of the Capitol’s defenses, leading the on-the-ground efforts to storm the seat of government"

RIP, Country Joe. Tragically as relevant as ever.
And it's 1-2-3, what're we fightin' for?
Don't ask me; I don't give a damn.

Fox & Friends airing old footage to hide that Trump showed up to a dignified transfer in a baseball cap isn’t a mistake, it’s propaganda. Rewriting reality for their audience is the routine. When media protects power instead of truth, the public gets theater instead of accountability.
