Liberal Commentator Alarmingly Grilled By Customs Over His Views On Trump While Returning From France This doesn't bode well at all.

They're trying to make people fearful of speaking out.

Their hypocrisy is breathtaking

a. i can’t afford to stop. b. none of these motherfuckers deserve to be the one/s who finally silenced me.

I'm not Catholic, but Pope Francis is a badass.

This was the best call, not that JD will listen, but biblical propheta were also rarely listened to.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Awesome!!! Love the title too!

We need this kind of action and leadership! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Thank you!!

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen If Bukele doesn't want to meet in D.C., I'll go to El Salvador to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.

Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Chuck Schumer is 74 years old. Using the word “naïveté” to describe his recent capitulation to 45 is not only dishonest, but also borders on blockish.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

100 fucking percent it’s true 😛!

The wedding ring in "Anora" is a good example of a talisman: A physical object with symbolic / emotional meaning. In fact, the wedding ring has its own subplot in the movie. Here's an in-depth article on cinematic talismans. gointothestory.blcklst.com/talismans-52... #screenwriting #scriptsky

Inside the Explosive Meeting Where Trump Officials Clashed With Elon Musk Simmering anger at the billionaire’s unchecked power spilled out in a remarkable Cabinet Room meeting. The president quickly moved to rein in Mr. Musk.

“Mr. Duffy said the young staff of DOGE was trying to lay off air traffic controllers. What am I supposed to do? Mr. Duffy said. I have multiple plane crashes to deal with now, and your people want me to fire air traffic controllers?”

As this admin aligns with Russia, and we see, among Trumpism's many horrors and cruelties, the awful impact on the arts, I thought of what a Russian censor told a young Chekhov: "I don't want to censor your story. I just want to destroy its soul." But they didn't. Keep writing.💜 #scriptsky #writing

RFKjr: As far as measles go we've been seeing great results from drinking your own urine while holding a gem that corresponds to your birth month and then walking widdershins around a red oak with a cockerel buried at its base

To appreciate how the US has changed, watch these classic movies.
- The Post
- All the President’s Men
- Hidden Figures
- American President
- Dave
- Apollo 13
- Good Night & Good Luck
- Imitation Game
- Spotlight
- Wag the Dog
- Die Hard With A Vengeance

The world they depict is unimaginable now.

boomerdammerüng: the world-ending fate of rich, entitled, ignorant gluttons raised on triumphalist post world war two movies, james bond potboilers, and tom clancy techno-thrillers when they face adversaries who live in the real world, have known adversity, and taken lives with their own hands.

Yes

Just in the last week, we’ve seen:

RFK Jr. cancel a vital meeting for deciding the next flu vaccine.

Elon Musk joke about mistakenly cancelling Ebola prevention programs.

The Trump Admin scrambling to rehire bird flu experts THEY fired.

The first U.S. measles death in years.

Love this.

Remember - do not spend any money on Friday the 28th.

'Craven. He's Fearful of Trump': Marty Baron Slams Jeff Bezos' Censorship of Post Opinion Section EXCLUSIVE: The acclaimed ex-Washington Post editor on billionaire media barons and growing threats to the free press.

“‘Craven. He's Fearful of Trump’: Marty Baron Slams Jeff Bezos' Censorship of Post Opinion Section”

An exclusive interview today with Marty Baron by ⁦‪John Harwood‬⁩ for Zeteo:

Cancelling Ebola prevention is the sort of "mistake" that should get you kicked out of a cabinet meeting — not invited to it.

But I guess the rules are different when you pay your way in with a $280 million check.

This is idiocy, not efficiency — and it's costing America dearly.

Live your truth red states.

Chess is soooooo back
