The chart has the sub-headline: "Do you have a favorable or an unfavorable opinion of the following people? [Donald Trump] (% with a very or somewhat favorable opinion minus the % with a very or somewhat unfavorable opinion)." The chart has the note: "Note: Responses of "don't know" are not shown."

I've been thinking about the BTS clip of Superman where David Corenswet stops a scene bc he doesn't understand how it makes sense, so he & James Gunn have this passionate convo about *why* Supes is saying what he's saying and it's such a great example of how much intention there was in the writing

AriZona Iced Tea is considering raising their prices from $0.99 for the first time in nearly 30 years due to Trump's tariffs

You'll dig this episode if you like: Sam Malone saying "Sorry, we're closed"; Hank & Bobby grilling side by side; Mr. Monk going to the movies; Brendan Small breaking his camera and being okay

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

My sister THE MAYOR OF BERKELEY hosted our family reunion so I made a shirt to explain my role in our familial unit.
See:
-The mayor gave a chartered bus tour of her city, then helped cook breakfast for 50 people while on a zoom.
-I found a decomposing wild turkey carcass & poked it with a stick.

Kelsey and Max were officially married on June 25th. The goal is, ultimately, for Kelsey to immigrate to Canada to move in with Max. But that's super expensive, between visas, work permits, and moving costs.

PLEASE consider donating what you can.

We still have a long way to go. And it's frustrating bc we have leaders who supposedly want to run our country better, and they plain don't have the levers to do much. I'm not making excuses.

I'm just pointing out how weird it is for the US to even *have* leaders who want to do better.

That's why the right keeps sniveling about how they're under attack. Even while they're successfully pulling off another purge.

They're not used to getting yelled at when they blow taxpayer dollars on witch hunts, they're used to getting high-fives at the country club.

2025 is a whole different animal. The response has been strong and immediate. We had *preemptive* mass mobilization.

By millions of people who *aren't* being targeted by raids, jailing, and deportation. (Yet. 🙃)

That's never happened in US history before. This is different.

So it's frustrating to hear things like "This is the darkest timeline" and "late-stage capitalism."

Yes things suck & you gotta vent. But... do people think the US started in 1960?

We really forget our country, and capitalism, *started* with people on the auction block.

If you started paying attention to the US in 1960, this sure feels like the darkest timeline. But unfortunately, purges against Black & brown people are normal US behavior.

You know what's NOT normal US behavior?

This is the first time there's been a mass movement to STOP a purge in real time.

Everybody aware of the video game industry for the last decade: "we want worse games that take longer to make and are more expensive"

Those same people after Nintendo announced $80 Mario kart: "don't pay $80 for a video game"

Which is it, folks. You can't have both. Sorry.
