Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

Because fascism is attractive to billionaires.

Our top story: we continue our coverage of the ravings of a lunatic while our experts discuss what they could possibly mean, if anything.

Is it? I do know that sunrise and sunset are often used as symbols of birth and death.

Bibi say jump, Donny ask how high.

“Satchitananda” is the one-word description of everything. People suffer when they only know “Sat.”

True empathy is not imagining how it is for someone else. It’s knowing that there is no one “else.”

if you have nice things in life consider what it’s like for the people who don’t and find ways you can make that possible for those people nearest you

BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void

We & great partners win again!

H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.

There must be no mercy for the evil Trump Regime. None.

The Damage This Regime Has Done to America’s Veterans: tRump stood at Arlington and said, “we love our veterans,” then, fired 28k VA employees, froze cancer research, & cut the suicide prevention hotline. www.ms.now/the-weekend-... #PINKS

Bootlickers believe that protesting against the government deserves the death penalty. That includes showing disrespect to police. Bootlickers changed the colors of the American flag to black and white with one blue stripe.

As part of my strong anti-terrorist stance, I recommend that the current United States regime be apprehended and put on trial.

Fecking matches from counters to save. Then squander a sovereign in dribs and drabs. And when he’s wanted not a farthing. Screwed refusing to pay his fare. Curious types.

I am certain that subjectivity is organic and can't exist without some biological basis.

One thing that pisses me off is that Western countries complain endlessly about high levels of immigration and then, at the same time, use their military and intelligence capabilities to imperialisitcally topple regimes they don't like, cause mass destabilization, and consequently, more immigration

Netanyahu dreams of every neighboring city being reduced to rubble. Gaza is his idea of an attractive landscape.

“We removed some content that could have forced parents to talk with their kids.”

Cancel culture failed to cancel nearly enough people.

This gangster regime did manage to terrify many of the Congressional Republicans by threatening their families. People who agree with fascism generally but hate the bullying mobster they helped elect. They don’t criticize him because they know he could order them and their family to be murdered.

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose

No, I never saw that. I did see quite a few of the complete Shakespeare plays they did in the ‘70s and ‘80s on PBS, which Jonathan Miller helped produce.

King Lear (Paul Schofield) scowls as the Duke of Kent (Tom Fleming), facing away from us, whispers in his ear.

King Lear (1970)
Peter Brook directs the best version of Lear I've seen. His concentrated style just keeps hitting the mark. Paul Scofield's Lear is not just foolishly self-centered. There's an evil destructive side he brings out that I see now was in the text all along. A towering achievement.

Sings too: Down among the dead men. Appropriate. Kidney pie. Sweets to the. Not making much hand of it. Best value in. Characteristic of him. Power. Particular about his drink. Flaw in the glass, fresh Vartry water.
