I do think that the messaging around "a judge ruled that the Republicans illegally forced you to go hungry" would be a slam dunk but we'll see how the Dems fumble the bag here

I don't have the facility to explain why Watkins's cinema is so singular, suffice to say that, early on, someone must have showed him a list of things movies should and shouldn't do and he took that list and did this

RIP.

La Commune (Paris 1871) remains one of the essential films of this century.

How One Battle After Another Imagines an Armed Left The rebels in Paul Thomas Anderson’s movie resemble the Weather Underground less than the right’s conspiratorial image of “antifa supersoldiers.”

Great @davidklion.bsky.social review of One Battle After Another. The Coates point changed my view of today & tomorrow when I heard it.

Everything’s Coming Up Bari She sure knows her audience.

I slated about Bari

Now in a position of power at the network, Ms. Weiss is the one concerned about leaks. She has complained that her comments at private CBS meetings keep turning up in media reports, asking if the company can identify the leakers, according to three people familiar with her remarks.

so here’s the thing, Bari, you’re running an organization full of weapons-grade gossips who hate you www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/b...

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Don't care what people use SNAP on and never will, fuck you if you care

We promised to campaign the way we want to govern.

That’s why we’re launching a statewide food drive to support the 1.4 million Georgians losing SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.

All this week I keep reading about “ what the democrats need to do “ and “the democrats are out of touch “ blah blah blah .

This Republican ended a tweet with get off crack .

The Republican president dropped shit on Americans with an ai video .

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

@DineshDSouza In a career spanning 40 years, I have never encountered this type of rhetoric. The Right never used to talk like this. So who on our side has legitimized this type of vile degradation? It’s a question worth thinking about.

@bethanyshondark This is a day of clarity. Truly a turning point moment. When people tell you who they are, believe them. I’ll certainly never forget it.

What is this with these people suddenly realizing the crowd they they hang out with are who they always said they were.

Could a “Maximum Wage” Combat Billionaire Power? Nearly a decade after Portland passed a landmark law to rein in CEO pay, social movements should aim to replicate the city’s success across the country.

CBS News just gutted its climate team Paramount and Bari Weiss aren't off to a great start. Here's why David Ellison should change course.

NEWS: CBS News gutted its climate team as part of the big Paramount layoffs this week. These journalists had been doing incredible reporting on extreme heat, flooding, clean energy investments and more.

this is evil

In fall 2022, ahead of the midterm elections, Garland opted to freeze both the classified documents and election investigations because of what some officials believed was his overly cautious reading of a DOJ policy not to take any public action close to an election. Trump was not even on the ballot and had not yet declared his presidential candidacy for 2024. But Garland nonetheless imposed the freeze.

The selection of Garland as AG and his failure to act was about ten bajillion times more consequential than any campaign strategy decision

This stuff really freaks me out. They see their future as one where the decisionmakers live in military installations, where the civil and military functions of government become merged.

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

The Hunger Games Begin 40 million Americans are about to lose food stamps

Remember when Paul Krugman’s columns were soooo wonky.

“It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.” - Paul Krugman

Hear @romanmars.bsky.social and me discuss sludge, sabotage and the state of Fuck It. Bonus life-improving idea at the end!

Coverage of mamdani (every word endlessly scrutinized, wildly bad faith interpretations of everything he says) vs coverage of trump (sanitizing every quote, ignoring his nonsense or paraphrasing it into what reporters wish he had said) is so instructive as to how in the tank the press is for the GOP

Speaking of pronunciation, remember not long ago when trump was like "ah brah hom, you call it abraham, the real people say ah brah hom" because his brain short-circuited and he's a huge idiot and it's plain to everyone but it's completely forbidden to ever make a scandal of him being dumb as hell
