Last night I had the honor of attending a special screening of "The Last Class" at UC Berkeley. I want to thank everyone who attended — and especially thank my friend @wkamaubell.bsky.social for hosting a great conversation afterwards.

Saying someone is a "member of antifa" is like saying someone is a "member of socialism" or something. it makes zero sense. But they can't use the ideological form of the word because it makes it too clear what the ideology actually is and it would include our grandpas

Donald Trump is literally selling watches. Now. During the government shut-down. He's personally in the commercials hawking them.

Conspiracy peddler Alex Jones, who profited from slandering Sandy Hook victims as hoax actors, now begs the Supreme Court to halt his $1.4bn defamation doom, wailing about free speech chills while his empire crumbles to satirical buyers. #SandyHook

Imagine being threatened by a rainbow….

Did you know that rainbows are regarded as a universal symbol of peace, harmony, hope and promise among other things?
They also have cultural and spiritual significance to some as well.

"For the first time since the civil rights era, the president of the United States is sending in troops over the objection of a local state. The big difference between now and the civil rights era is that the president is doing that based on their desire for power only."

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

Christopher Wells from Illinois tells Perry "we would request the addition of language intended to cover National Guard from other states, or the National Guard of the United States.

DOJ prosecutors in Virginia under Erik Seibert didn't believe they gathered enough evidence to charge Letitia James.

So Trump pressured Seibert to resign and replaced him with a loyalist (and former personal attorney) who would.

Even Nixon made efforts to hide his corruption.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

Considering how much the press ignored the last protests, maybe we should plan for big crowds around TV stations and newspapers to make it hard for them to get to work. At least then they couldn't pretend they didn't notice.

Why was this Orange blob allowed to have a shadow presidency at MAGA lago for 4 years & host authoritarian world leaders?

Why wasn’t he ARRESTED FOR TREASON after hosting an INSURRECTION?

Why was he allowed to be Commander in Cheeto as a 34x felon?

The voters didn’t do this. The billionaires did.
