My opinions are my own.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
They are not the same.
The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?
Trump says he is both the President and the Speaker of the House.
Congressional Republicans are nothing more than a rubber stamp for his extreme agenda.
You deserve better.
βAuthoritarians always target art first. They do so, because art and history are enemies of the myths a regime needs to survive." From my new TIME piece on Donald Trumpβs campaign to defund the arts and rewrite our history. The stakes could not be higher.

I had two parents ask me lots of questions if the trip was safe. Never had that before. The GOP media does a hell of a job instilling fear in people.

Trumpβs fantasy of having one of his apparently uncontrollable liquid shits land on the American flag
I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where heβs a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. β€οΈπ³οΈβπ

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube.
It would be a shame for you to share it
www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...
"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."
Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.
I made the mistake of watching Episode 11 of The Pitt after dinner and now it is almost midnight and I finished the season.
I am traumatized from those last episodes, but that was damn good television.
Also, gun reform now.
Itβs happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trumpβs critics and his political opponents.
But we arenβt powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.
Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones.
But don't worry Pam, I saved it for you web.archive.org/web/20250911...
