I cried at the end of THE MUPPET SHOW.

The only thing that could have made me cry more is if they had done RAINBOW CONNECTION, which is like a Silver Bullet for my feelings. ;___;

Happy Friday! We made it through the week! After a long stretch we had a beautiful pre-show this morning at sunrise with some wonderful designs and colors. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

It's so weird that I can't stop thinking about the 1987 movie "Matewan" with James Earl Jones and David Strathairn about working-class people standing up against private corporations who employ death squads to rob them of their rights and dignity.

It's a mystery.

Why this movie?

Why now?

I dunno

Pillion is finally in U.S. theaters tonight -- well, NY and LA -- before expanding next Friday. Caught up with Harry Melling to talk about his award-worthy performance, those fun outdoor sex scenes, and realizing he might need to learn how to ride a motorcycle

I do not care WHO they have standing at the polling place. My PARENTS fought for me to have the right. My mother ALWAYS made sure I voted at every election. They have ALWAYS tried to prevent BW from voting. I will walk through ALL of their bullshit to vote. Fuck them!

We will not be intimidated into staying home. We will keep the late John Lewis in our hearts as we head to the polls to drive the likes of these ghouls out of power and out of office.

You have to be spectacularly arrogant to think the Pope needs your biblical interpretation.
After Pope Leo XIV urged legislators to make sure immigrants' "spiritual rights" are being respected, House Speaker Mike Johnson responded by giving him a Bible lesson.

South Bend continues to shape me in so many ways. It's always great to be back to see how far the city - and its people - have come.

Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.

I just read the declaration that Kira Kelley asked J. Blackwell to consider.
This immigrant describes being
-unlawfully arrested
-taken from one overcrowded & filthy prison to another over 19 days
-held incommunicado
& ICE never telling him a court ordered his release

He describes an American gulag

Read it all please.
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

🚨BREAKING: The White House Thursday refused to rule out the presence of immigration enforcement at voting locations this November, a response that follows extremist rhetoric about placing federal forces at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
White House ‘can’t guarantee’ ICE won’t be at polls
The federal government has historically recognized polling places as off-limits for immigration enforcement precisely to avoid deterring lawful voters.
