How we got here (everywHERE.) #public-poll: do you think it’s possible for the side of good to prevail without using this playbook?

Glad I was sitting down for this earth-shatteringly expected non-revelation.

@thedailyshow.com tonight was well worth the watch.

Trump Was Attempting to Block Publication of Embarrassing WSJ Jeffrey Epstein Story — Variety The White House attempted to block the publication of a Wall Street Journal article about President Donald Trump's alleged 2003 birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein that contained suggestive language.

How fun.

We’re living through an era that’s also an invitation.

Certain narcissists want to play with their military weapons (see call for birthday parade comprised of tanks a la what North Korea’s leader’s into), but the reality on the ground is unlike Jan. 6th, there’s no need for the National Guard. Please only trust the word of those who live here in L.A.

Oh look, another helping of BS.

Talk about human smugglers (the pot) calling smuggled humans (the kettle) human smugglers (black.)

@caleodis.bsky.social, you wanted a salacious twitter feud between two insane narcissists for your birthday, right?

I guess this tracks…

Seems those gold keys don’t lock lips.

Will we ever tire of living in interesting times?

Happy #pride. I love you all.

💯

I thought that as a society we unilaterally agreed that non-“drug-fueled” sex parties would be called gender-reveal parties. Am I misremembering the big meeting?

Really beautiful.

All things current White House be like:

🔥 DENIRO AT CANNES: “In my country we’re fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted… Art looks for truth, embraces diversity — that’s why we are a threat to autocrats and fascists.” 🇺🇸

Republicans are either being blackmailed or they’re full-on brain washed. Possibly it’s a combo, but in no way can we count on any of ‘em to do the noble thing. I think they look at what happened to Liz Cheney.

We now understand why it’s not called the “deep SEE floor.” (I’ll show myself out.)

I Should Have Seen This Coming — The Atlantic When I joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won...

At least #davidbrooks is admitting to having very bad eyes.

Remember when Boomer men discovered Rush Limbaugh and his purported “excellence in broadcasting”? I feel like that led to Fox and its “fair and balanced” gaslighting version of “branding.” Social media algorithms put those models on steroids and placed ‘em in echo chambers. Add in some podcasts…

Trump University: A Look at an Enduring Education Scandal As the long-standing legal case on Trump University comes to a close, this brief looks at new evidence and insights on Trump and his hallmark educational initiative.

It’s fun that this is the guy attacking higher education + signing executive orders concerning accreditation. Also, I keep reading “enduring” as “endearing.” Also, my Alma mater is mentioned #GoCats

His own unaccredited “university” shut down after 6 years and multiple class action lawsuits so he def knows of what he’s executively ordering.

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social ‘s been good from the get-go, but the last couple eps with #heathermcghee and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social were especially inspiring.

You bring up a very good point (as always) and I’m fan-girling hard over the fact you replied here. Going forward I’ll go with “Alex Gibney’s documentaries do a great job showing how the libs get owned!” Thank you for all the amazing investigative work you do.

This episode was such a gift. They all are, but #heathermcghee was next level inspiring.

With billionaires, educational institutions, and law firms bending the knee to Trump, Heather McGhee says the US is now a competitive autocracy.
