Trump couldn't care less about Americans. To him, we are and always have been no-names, extras, the cost of doing business. He won't lose a minute of sleep over an American life, or over a thousand of them.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Michael B. Jordan: Award Acceptance Speech | 32nd Annual Actor Awards
Michael B. Jordan: Award Acceptance Speech | 32nd Annual Actor Awards YouTube video by Netflix

If you've only heard or read that Michael B. Jordan won the Actor (née SAG) Award, but haven't SEEN it, take four minutes to watch, *especially* Viola Davis making the announcement. It is The Moment of this year's awards season for me.

Viola Davis so happy about Michael B. Jordan winning a SAG award that she transcends time space and white supremacy.

A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her

Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship.

She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead.

Boyfriend opened fire on her car

We aren’t angry enough.

Seriously, who is this for? Voters who need their firm lack of an opinion ratified? I find it terrifying that people in leadership positions seem to have absolutely no sense of how sick of this mealymouthed stuff Democratic voters are. Every poll says they want a tougher party. It's not a secret!

@mskellymhayes.bsky.social: Negin is right. These people are monsters, but they are not invulnerable, and neither are their enablers. We must remember this.

@jacky.wtf: Hell of a person to quote but true

@mskellymhayes.bsky.social: ??? I am referring to Negin Owliae.

@jacky.wtf: Haha I thought of the guy from The Walking Dead 😭 I am legit embarrassed lol

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

Sorry to focus on these assholes, this’ll be the last one - but “gay theater kids larping” basically describes most of Star Trek… hell most of sci-fi television before the streaming era.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

there's a madman in the white house, he's illegally started a war, he's offered no explanation to the public other than an insane conspiracy theory that Iran somehow tried to interfere in last year's election, and the opposition leaders are releasing statements full of mixed support and concern

If you're looking for something to watch this weekend that will be a gripping entertainment that also helps to crystalize your feelings about [gestures to everything], MUNICH would be a great place to start.

Munich remains one of the most astonishing films made in the 21st century, confronting the human cost of seeking vengeance after suffering unredeemable bloodshed — and challenging us to contemplate whether there is such a thing as *redeemable* bloodshed.

This is a fabulous interview.

When a company in an industry built on hype tells you that a use case is a bad idea—and actually dangerous—that means it’s a *catastrophically* bad idea.

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

This is exactly what’ll happen. All Larry wants is CNN (which obviously is bad news) and David is a starfucker who hasn’t produced anything good (except Star Trek and M:I which JJ and TC really produced) they’ll tank everything and sell in less than ten years.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Any Democrat in a position of power should oppose this loudly and immediately. Make antitrust laws a campaign issue. Fight it every way imaginable. Do not hand over mass media to a creepy dad-son dyad who want to cozy up to an increasingly loathed president bent on maintaining power illegitimately.
