I am goddamn FILMMAKER who likes attention more than is particularly healthy, and I hate the pressure to put everything on video.

First, it's a HUGE time suck, and it's ENTIRELY UNPAID for freelancers like me. So I lose time and money every time I do it...

The largest boycott of the #StateOfTheUnion by Congress is happening Tues Feb 24, 2026.
I'm watching The People's State Of the Union instead.

X is unsafe for many people, period. I wouldn't post on there any sooner than I'd walk into a Klan convention. Literally not even an option.

Also, Elon let back on the person who doxxed and harassed me to the point that I had to file a cyber stalking complaint. This was someone insane who had previously been arrested twice for threatening public figures with violence.

I had 150k followers when I left. It was not worth it.

You don’t hear it much, probably due to corporate capture of media, but this is what FDR did that got the ‘33 Act and the ‘34 Act passed. generational anger at corporations funneled into aggressive legislation that would have been unthinkable ten years earlier.

SCOOP: Sen. Adam Schiff will join the boycott of Trump’s State of the Union and instead speak at the People’s State of the Union hosted by MeidasTouch and MoveOn.

Daily Memo: ICE Pepper-Sprays and Throws an 80-year-old Attorney, Arrests a Community Watcher, and Takes Seven From Lompoc

Read the transcript of Trump’s response to U.S. Supreme Court tariff ruling - National | Globalnews.ca U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday blasted the U.S. Supreme Court after it struck down his signature tariff policy, ruling his use of emergency powers was unlawful.

Trump on the #SCOTUS decision.
"But now the court has given me the unquestioned right to ban all sorts of things from coming into our country, to destroy foreign countries, but a much more powerful right than many people ever thought we even had."

Perfect. Which reminds me of one of my favorite lines from Data.

"I am not less perfect than Lore."

The DOJ is hiding the FBI interviews with an underage Trump accuser that @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social & @ninaburleigh.bsky.social are tracking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHJm...
Warning! @emptywheel.bsky.social says the word that got her kicked off of MSNBC. #EpsteinFiles

Bari Weiss with Peter Thiel

Charlie Rose fired by CBS

NBC fires Matt Lauer next to Matt Lauer

Who is Bari Weiss going to find to cover the arrest of Andrew Mountbattendownthehatches?

I hear Charlie Rose is available.
Maybe Matt Lauer. They both have relevant experience.
#Metoo.

Trump with Matt Lauer

NBC fires Matt Lauer

If only Matt Lauer was available to interview Trump & powerful people accused of sexual assualt.
Oh, right, he got fired. GOOD for NBC.

Did someone say Aliens?

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

In honor of DHS spokesliar Tricia McLaughlin's resignation, let's revisit how her husband's company won a $220 million no-bid contract to run a stupid propaganda campaign featuring her boss, Kristi Noem, bashing immigrants while sitting on a horse in front of Mt. Rushmore.

Also, we need to address how the Right uses threats of violence against people in public health who were trying to save lies.

democrats need to get out of the debunking mindset and into asserting the truth as loudly as the right pushes lies

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over.

I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Journalists Arrested in Cameroon While Reporting on Trump’s Secretive Deportation Program

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

Basically, the right-wing wants you to think that being racist is the most dangerous (and cool) thing you can do right now. Films like The People's Joker and Nirvanna The Band The Movie prove the most dangerous thing for algorithmic streaming platforms is actually copyright infringement.

The pedophilia survivors got death threats, but they have been brave for the good of others.

Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans.

No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families.

Stay tuned for more news on affordability in Illinois tomorrow.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

It's like ICE is completely ignoring every lesson that moderately competent police forces are forced to learn, like "don't do high speed chases in densely populated areas with low risk targets"

Papers don’t quote ANYONE like this. Normal human speech is LOUSY with ums, uhs, and doubling short words (a, I, the). You clean that up as a matter of course.

Wow.

Sec of Navy Phelan

Sec of Navy Phelan

I've been thinking about out to get the focus on Phelan. I'm going to suggest that there be a full investigation - - so he can clear his name! Everyone accused should have due process. Then we can run his photo over & over with questions about his #Epstein connections.
