as in Putin’s Russia, the goal is not to convince people that a lie is the truth; it’s to make it impossible to tell them apart
Just a reminder that this happened two days ago.
David Ellison is the nepo baby who runs Paramount/Skydance and brought on Bari Weiss to destroy CBS News. He will now run Warner Bros and CNN after the likely merger.
👉 ICE Abusing Protesters After Murdering Driver 1/7/26

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.
Make it viral.
MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers.
Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful
“we follow the Constitution and the laws that have been passed by our Congress”
*immediately throws out member of Congress*
this is insane.
I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.
It is truly unsettling how much the Los Angeles of right wing media does not reflect the city I have lived in almost 20 years.
i'm not on the ground today but if you are or plan to be, *please* do what you're able to protect your body and your identity. it scares me to think of folks out there with big hearts making rookie mistakes that could really hurt them or someone else.
ICE crossed a line in LA
Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.
Hey! Press covering Trump!
The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies.
He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.”
Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.
no context D&D updates of the week 🧛🏾♂️

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥
"So I confess that I have been imperfect, I confess that I have been inadequate to the moment, I confess that the Democratic Party has made *terrible* mistakes that have given lane to this demagogue." - @corybooker.com
More of this, honestly, please. Acknowledge it. Please.
AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.
I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense
I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...
so yeah, DnD is going great

Tonight in DnD:
@christinastrain.bsky.social: “nipples are natural targets!”
DM: “which nipple does this arrow go through?”
@shannonoconnor.bsky.social: “keep it in your pants, nipple boy!”
saaaaame
this is…the best
The only thing I wrote down in my notebook from tonight’s DnD sesh was @slaydonistic.bsky.social yelling “I’m just a giant centipede with doors stuck to it!” so yes, our campaign is THRIVING
god this is so heartbreaking
We don’t just need activism to make it through this. We need joy. We need distractions. We need escape, and everyone needs a break from the chaos now and then.
Having fun in the face of fascism is a kind of rebellion. Please don’t scold anyone — including yourself — for doing it.
This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do!

When the state of the world is bad, we have to find joy in the little things. Like watching @christinastrain.bsky.social's
DnD character get absolutely KO'd by a sentient broom
In the wake of the fires, LA production is hurting even more than before. People can’t afford to live here if there isn’t work here.
