Alvaro M. Bedoya@bedoyausa.bsky.social · last wk.People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...
oh is it caravan season again it always comes around so fast
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTrump: "If we're not in office our country will be invaded at levels that make Spain look small time. That's gonna be a talking point for the midterms."
JFC. As a Minnesotan I think I speak for us all when I say f*ck you.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoQ: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
Sounds like Blanche wants to sign off of the language that senators requested to kill Trump’s IRS immunity and slush fund so he can get the gig but his client won’t let him. Not really how any of this is supposed to work, but this is a lawless organized crime operation.
Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.
Rand Paul--who doesn't believe in evolution--holding a hearing of Dr. Fauci--a retired, life-long public servant-- while we are *actively* in the midst of SEVERAL disease outbreaks due to unnecessary public health cuts and corporate lobbying shows exactly how unserious Republicans are.
Trying to break people away from family connections is like warning sign #1 for cults.

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.
Justice for Melissa, Mark, Gilbert, and the Hoffmans. May he rot in prison.

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW
A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.

6 Democrats just voted with the House GOP to pass the NDAA — with a provision to hand over part of the US military to Netanyahu AND Trump’s voter suppression bill (the SAVE Act) attached to it. These 6 Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for betraying their constituents and Democratic voters.
Just something in my neighborhood that I pass every day that needs to be seen by everyone.
This. Cuts to the heart of the threat and the plan
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoRep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.

Please please consider doing something nice for your mail carrier this week- we don't get hazard pay, and many postal offices (like the one I work at) do not have N95s on hand. Honestly, if you have spare masks, offer them to anyone who has to be outside in this.
It’s important to understand that the Court is now just an arm of the oligarchy. This decision strips the people of the right to limit the role of money in politics. It gives billionaires special rights to buy our elections. A precondition of oligarchy.
Fuck these bigots
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · last mo.The Supreme Court's first decisions are the trans athlete cases. By a 6–3 vote, the court holds that Title IX and the equal protection clause do NOT stop states from excluding trans women and girls from female sports teams. The three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
Tom Emmer wants to represent all of Minnesota's 6th District, yet at a town hall he reportedly declared that immigrants "should go the hell back to where they came from." Minnesota deserves better than fear, cruelty, and xenophobia from one of the highest-ranking Republicans in Congress.
