“These aren‘t real people. They’re illegal aliens!” Pretty much the Trump regime worldview. “We can dish out as much brutality and suffering as we want because immigrants aren’t human.”

We were mid-handshake and he pulled me in and grabbed tighter and got upset and raised his voice and said: "What are you talking about man?! Those aren't real people. They're illegal aliens!"

Wait wait hold up hold up hold up hold up. Angels in America was made in 2003. You can find room for Ted Lasso and NOT that? You absolute philistines.

this is the story of the midterms I am not sure I have ever seen a more demoralized republican electorate, and the more irregular trump voters we can get to disconnect from the political system entirely the better

BREAKING on MS NOW: MS NOW and CNN journalists have just been denied access to covering Xi Jinping's arrival back at the White House for tonight's state dinner.

The queer bar story and the bad art friend story and any number of other "toxic person in a small community" stories succeed because they're inherently compelling narratives about people who transgress boundaries in ways we can recognize from our own lives.

Scoop: The anonymous source behind a POLITICO story that the White House is now using to justify a ban on the outlet was none other than JD Vance himself. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/white-hous...

I just called Senator Duckworth’s Chicago office. The staffer I talked to said they are getting. A LOT of calls, and wanted to make sure that I knew that if she was given the chance to hold Trump accountable for any of his crimes or ethical violations, she would vote in favor of that.

Hollywood is a working/middle class industry, with top earners being the recognizable face much the way that tech CEOs are. It is truly truly desperate out there.

C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · 2d ago

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.

I just lectured about the WPA this morning and it is absolutely a model we need to bring back, for this purpose and others too.

I was driving through farm country in northern Ohio this week and diesel ranged from $6.69-7.29 a gallon.

Once again, with Trump at -27: No first term president (DDE through Biden) has hit -20 at any point during the first two years. And only Nixon during a second term.

Trump's net approval has now sunk to -27, with absolutely no sign of the trend reversing. What will it look like in two years as we approach the next presidential election? Data as ever via @gelliottmorris.com @fiftyplusone.news
