I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.
I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.
It was never about FREE SPEECH. It was always about the protection of HATE SPEECH.
WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“For reasons best understood by moguls and their lackeys, the people who run the media simply find people who do what we do either annoying or unprofitable. Extraneous. I don’t think readers agree. I truly do not.”

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
If I'm expected to vote blue no matter who, Democratic reps better do the fucking same. If I "must" vote for billionaire moderates like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, stop SABOTAGING @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's mayoral run. The hypocrisy over the last couple weeks has been insane.
As I worked over the winter on my new book, there was one chapter that felt particularly heavy—the accounts of Jewish refugee scientists fleeing Hitler's Europe and how democracy succumbed to fascism. Much of this feels too familiar right now: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...
Fleeing One Step Ahead of Fascism
The chilling warnings of Europe in the 1930s: "Reality is stronger than all our wishes"

In honor of #MaybeHappyEnding turning its back on AA Broadway actors, my pitch to the universe - I want a jukebox musical adaptation of Joel Kim Booster's FIRE ISLAND. Three guaranteed AA leading male roles per cast in the most fun adaptation of Pride & prejudice ever. Please give this to me.

Evergreen "what the fuck?" To that thing that's trending.
A story about Stephen Colbert I’ve never shared before. Years ago I was hospitalized for a month. One of toughest things I ever had to do. Confined, monitored, my health a mystery with no solution, cycling through roommates & their families who needed miracles, or would go off to surgery & vanish…
I have no words. Everyone prepared for the constitutional crisis of the President defying the SCOTUS. The crisis is the SCOTUS being fully aligned with Trump’s vision of presidential power. So here we are.
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · last yr.BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25... From Sotomayor's dissent:
If the overlap of youngest Gen Xers and eldest millennials are Xennials, and the millennial/Gen Z version of that are Zennials, is Gen Alpha/Beta the Alphabet generation?
I have never cared about Catholicism so much in my life as I do now
Paul Lewis@paullewismoney.bsky.social · last yr.Cardinal withdraws from Conclave after Pope Francis left note saying he should be excluded for a financial scandal where €140m went missing bit.ly/4cQKdNU it is so like the plot of @Robert___Harris’s novel Conclave! Read it if you haven’t - or again if you have!
Oh good, I was worried he was gonna say something like "Public infrastructure."
Governor Gavin Newsom@governor.ca.gov · last yr.If you care about traffic — if you care about not being late to work, coming home to your kids, and saving your time — you have to care about GenAI. GenAI has come to traffic management, and this cutting-edge tool will help the state better serve all Californians.
Literal Nazis inside the Administration but the media still takes what they say about racism and antisemitism at face value.
Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · last yr.I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...
