Welp. According to Semafor, David Ellison has discussed bringing Elon Musk on as an investor in Paramount's merger with Warner Bros., which could mean Musk could have a stake in CBS News and CNN. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Mike Schur: The Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger Is Existential for Writers
Mike Schur: The Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger Is Existential for Writers
Let’s begin with a statement of fact: mega mergers in Hollywood are bad for writers. They’re also bad for actors and directors, for production designers and caterers, for carpenters and Teamsters and electricians and set decorators. They are bad for consumers, who get fewer choices in entertainment controlled by fewer bosses with narrower worldviews. Mergers are bad for local businesses, who lose paying customers from disappearing productions. They are bad for high level TV and film executives, and entry-level assistants, and everyone in between.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
This makes me miss my Great Dane. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. 🤣😂😂😭😭 #GreatDane
Are any members of Congress currently on their way back to DC?

As I say in the interview, look at the oligarchs and the criminal networks more than at Trump. He'll die eventually. They're planning for that. Where will the money he stole go? Who are they planning to install in his place? Who does that person work for? What's the point of leverage? Start there.
“John Barron” called CSPAN to complain about SCOTUS. Whether it’s Trump using his alter ego or an actual impersonator (I rather think the latter) - we don’t know. All of this is bizarre. The call is real: www.c-span.org/program/call... (happens around 44 min in)
The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.
Guess what, @schumer.senate.gov?! If the DOJ can dox protesters on X, it's not crazy to DEMAND that ICE agents be maskless. Stick to your guns on this one for pete's sake. You wanna save America, this could be step 1. Before it's too late!!!
Thank you Dave Matthews. Dig deep, find the fighter in you. ✊
The person who was shot today by ICE, this is what was happening before he got shot.
All but one have AIPAC as their biggest donor. (And it's their second biggest donor.) Israel loves ICE. Massie is one of few congressmen in either party who refuses money from AIPAC.
NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207 7 Democrats voted YES on the bill: - Jared Golden - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez - Henry Cuellar - Tom Suozzi - Laura Gillen - Don Davis - Vicente Gonzalez One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie
This is Liam Ramos. His family has an active asylum case. He and his father were abducted from Minnesota yesterday and have already been flown to Texas, hundreds of miles away from his mother and older brother. He's five years old.
This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.
I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”
People should've and would've been talking about Anniversary. But Apparently Lionsgate buried it because of Charlie Kirk, for fear of being seen as critical of authoritarianism. If I can persuade a few of you to watch it, I'll have done something. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...
Was a Crazy Anti-Authoritarian Political Thriller Quietly Disappeared From Theaters?
'Anniversary' is a movie about a family torn apart under a fascist American regime came and went last year. You probably didn't even know it existed.

This is f*cked up! There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling. And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen. So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.
There's a $10,000 donation on that Jonathan Ross GoFundMe from one William Ackman.
Trump is not a patriot, and MAGA is un-American.
MAGA’s Lust for Fascism
Trump’s ideologues want a smaller, meaner, whiter America.
