“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Also, here is a thought: I wonder how much "not feeling like an adult" is correlated with impostor syndrome.

More messaging like this please

Gov Pritzker reports that Trump is demanding he activate the National Guard in Illinois, or Trump will.

To recap:
•IL violent crime rate is 310/100K
•USA violent crime rate is 374/100K
•Red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do blue states

This isn't national security—it's fascist autocracy

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Joey Mannarino 180 degree turn.

Joey did a 180 so hard the Lolita Express had to re-calculate its flight path.

We cannot look away. We cannot become numb to the cruelty. We have to stand up.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

As Heather Cox Richardson writes, The Epstein story is about more than the sex trafficking of girls. It's also about rich and privileged people evading accountability for breaking the law." People like Donald Trump, in other words.

“She gives back to the community, creates jobs for young people, pays taxes. Why would you want to remove someone like that?”

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

It's not like her constituents didn't tell her to vote no on it.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social,

Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism.
Looking forward to following you wherever you land,

Your fan, Mar🐫

What’s actually radical? Gutting education while pretending teachers are pushing “ideology.”

Kids need books 📚, not MAGA tantrums.

Diddy Rump wants to dumb down America because it’s easier to control the uneducated. F*ck that 💩.

Canceled my Paramount subscription.

Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled.

If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.

A Trump-appointed judge overturned a Biden-era rule that removed medical debt from credit reports.

The ruling came days after Republicans voted to kick millions of Americans off healthcare – which will likely cause medical debt to skyrocket.

A perfect storm of cruelty.
