Yes, It’s Fascism Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

This piece by @jonrauch.bsky.social is very much worth reading. (Yes, I know, even if your reaction to the title is, "Gee, you don't say!") He lays out the case more carefully, clearly, and systematically than I have seen elsewhere.

Oh-oh. Page one rewrite for my Emil Jannings biopic…

BEST PICTURE NOMINEES AT THE 98th ACADEMY AWARDS—AS DRIL TWEETS

I'm buying the rights to your novelization for a Play-Doh version in IMAX. Also, seeking voice actors who speak Farsi. Thanks.

This is literally what I've been writing and podcasting about for years. I was planning to do an essay on this, but here's a 🧵.

The main reason is psychology. Due to personal, family, and cultural histories, some people are inherently scared of the world.

The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.

Here I am holding an Oscar. It is real. It is not mine. It belongs to Paul Wagner and Marjorie Hunt, who produced the documentary short “The Stone Carvers,” which won the Oscar in 1985. They were on the Arch Campbell show and let me hold it. Unlike some presidents, I don’t think that holding someone else’s award makes me special.

ICE=ISIS #abolishice

The thing about the Boston Massacre— the fruits of arbitrary power— was not that the colonists were universally in the right. Things were thrown at the soldiers. But, the presence of a standing army escalated conditions. The use of force that night was not proportional. Citizens died needlessly.

An expert explains how the thugs “protecting” us aren’t…

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

This comment from the Auschwitz Maemorial FB page is VERY important to read today in America.

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

the current stance of the federal government is that they will harm, injure, and even kill anyone they want to keep us safe from people who committed civil violations of immigration law

Unforgivable.

I assume people will tire eventually of modifying photos in AI, but at the point the damage will be done that photographs will never again be seen as mementos of lived lives.

It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then

Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.

Where, oh where, is our “Guy Under the Seats” franchise? “Guy Under the Seats Saves Christmas,” for starters.

Wait — an anime? Or…? I’m here for all of it. #poolesvillerocks

I heard him give a (very brief, there was a 2 minute time limit, as per @me3dia.bsky.social) talk about this in early Jan, and it stayed with me all year. Give it a read.

But…but…Rob’s visit to the Criterion Closet will be magnificent!

My Xmas, perhaps year, is complete. I shall be taking notes. Thank you.

Congratulate me! I was just cast as Olivia in the Hallmark movie “A Very Nuzzi Christmas”! Can’t wait!
