And just like that, I now permanently and uncritically admire the actress I had always been irrationally annoyed by until merely seconds ago.

“He was only raping those children to catch the real pedophiles.”
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
EJ Antoni wants to suspend the monthly jobs report because Trump's regime wants to suppress anything that exposes their failings. Our government used to criticize authoritarian nations for suppressing information, but now the Tangerine Tyrant's minions are acting the same way. Shameful.
The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · last yr.Breaking News: President Trump said he was taking control of the police in Washington, D.C., and deploying 800 National Guard troops there in response to “out of control” crime — even though violent crime in the city has fallen.

Oh this breaks my heart. I saw the film twice and felt so bonded with this guy. I am so dejected and sad …
New York Magazine@nymag.com · last yr.Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist and community leader who helped make Oscar-winning doc ‘No Other Land,’ was fatally shot by an Israeli settler in the West Bank. ‘This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time,’ director Basel Adra wrote.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated
@maddow.msnbc.com , thank you for always recognizing citizens all over the country who are protesting Trump’s policies. I’m proud that I’m one of a group of Columbus, Mississippians, who protest regularly in front of Trent Kelly’s office. Mississippi is a purple state. Every Friday from I2-1 pm.
A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.
Trump ran as the anti-war guy. Now he’s bragging about “controlling the skies over Iran” and floating assassinations on Truth Social. The peace president was a lie—like the Bible photo-op, the “pro-life” act, and the rest of it.

I continue to be devastated by the death of my dear friend Jill Sobule. I’m in shock. I can’t accept it. I have 10,000 pictures of us. But here we are getting the James Randi award.
It makes me very happy that Canada hates Rob Schneider even more than America does. And not just because he’s an untalented hack. He’s loathed for who he is inside.
“I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation. from now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour” Trump? Pam Bondi? nope, Hitler bit.ly/44akopT
Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.
Black friends of mine say the only good thing Trump has done is reveal how racist much of the country REALLY is, which has been a surprise to their liberal white friends. It’s true. A majority of Americans approve of Trump’s deportations in a way that’s shocking. I, personally, have been schooled.
Why don’t American Jewish people realize they are being used by the Trumpers to start a war in the broader Middle East? They Trumpers don’t care about Jews OR anti-semitism. They are using the ire of Jewish people for their own ends. It’s SO OBVIOUS. Argh.
I’m glad Trump is destroying the economy with tariff craziness. If he were only deporting people & taking away services for the elderly & the poor those low-info Trumpers wouldn’t care that much. The economy tanking will wake them up. It has to be bad. Like a strong chemo to fight the cancer.
