my favourite thing in a movie is when somebody asks which lawyer is working the case and when they hear the name they go, “Damn… he’s good”

REMINDER: If you want Dem senators to shut down ICE/DHS funding here are the Senators to focus on: Cortez-Masto Fetterman Rosen Shaheen Hassan King Gillibrand Peters Murray And also probably Durbin, Schumer, Schatz. Light up the phone lines on Monday am: (202) 224-3121

Kaine is engaging in performance art and it’s bullshit kabuki. Murray is already touting it so Dems are gonna offer the votes with wink and nods. Dems likely to collaborate: CCM Fetterman Rosen Shaheen Hassan King Gillibrand Peters Murray And probably Durbin, Schumer, Schatz. Cowards.

Dutch late night TV has its take

NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law. That and much more in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

Trump’s Ouster of Jimmy Kimmel Is Much Worse than You Think It Is

Anna Gomez, the FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner, tells TNR that her boss’ move violates both the First Amendment and the Communications Act. Democrats must extract consequences.

newrepublic.com

Just so everyone is clear, this right here is what an actual violation of the First Amendment looks like. When the head of the FCC says a company needs to do something about someone who displeased the administration or lose its license, that’s no joke unconstitutional

ABC announced that it was pulling Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show “indefinitely” after his comments about Charlie Kirk’s death.

MSNBC host: Are you having a great time, Senator? Sen. Murphy: No. This sucks. We're debating a bill that's going to cut health care for 16 million people. This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation that I've ever voted on in my entire time in Congress.

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

The PBS Kids app is one of the few things you can trust your kids to play around with on a computer. All the shows that you can stream are good and entertaining. Nothing positive comes from getting rid of this, they're just trying to make life worse for everyone www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

Don’t panic buy your movies. Stock up strategically.

If "Top Chef: Destination Canada" has taught me anything about Canada, it's that the entire nation will be celebrating with Chipotle and pickles tonight. Well-earned!

BIG: A new poll from NYT just confirmed this broad storyline, finding him underwater on immigration, with 51% of voters disapproving versus 47% approving. Large majorities in the NYT poll oppose the lawless specifics. Popularists should just admit they got this wrong already.

Remarkable from WaPo poll: Trump sinking fast on immigration among independents. 56% disapprove of handling of issue 62% oppose removing foreign students 52% oppose renditions to El Salvador Only 21% want Abrego Garcia left there Engage, Dems. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1944...

Watching movies is good! You're telling the rest of the audience that you thought it was good!

small but profound pleasure: when people applaud at the end of a movie. everyone knows the director and stars can’t hear you, it’s just everyone going “we all watched a good movie, hell yes”

these fuckers being able to destroy everything is not a foregone conclusion

When people say that some concept is too complicated for voters to understand, I remember Stephen Sondheim's line about the "West Side Story" movie. He was told that it didn't have "hummable" songs. Then United Artists spent a ton of $ promoting it, the movie was a hit, and suddenly it was hummable.

I was told that protecting due process couldn't be a winning political issue because a poll from before this gained wide publicity showed people weren't already upset about it.

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here. www.kqed.org/news/1203596...

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

it has never been more dangerous to be jewish in this country and it has nothing to do with college students protesting genocide and everything to do with nazis controlling the white house.

Just fyi the sign can be sung to the tune of ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart.’ Enjoy.

Arguably not just after the election, but during election season as well. Community building matters all the time, and that includes during election season. The fact that Dems see mailing lists solely as a fund raising tool is such a waste.

José Marichal@josemarichal.bsky.social · last yr.

If candidates used their e- mail lists for community building after the election, rather that asking for money, we'd be in a much better place.
