The scene at No Kings in Raleigh, where protesters have been met with a near-constant stream of supportive honks for the last two hours.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Trump's telling everyone not to take Tylenol, which will make him an even bigger headache.

So, I poked around, what will I really miss when I cancel Disney/Hulu? Alas, it’s #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding! I will never know what happened to #Lester and if the #SteveMartin character falls for #TeaLeoni. Bye #SelenaGomez and #MartinShort.

Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel.
The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact?
See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.
2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week.
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts.
4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.
Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years.
Nothing you do will have greater impact.
Nothing.

Are you mad at me? @bradys.bsky .... 10h
I have been a social media manager for 10
years. If you are upset with a company I BEG
you to write a physical letter and put it in a
mailbox. 10000 social media comments are
a meaningless annoyance that executives
brush off. A single letter can send a
company into a panic.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

Wishing her a speedy recovery with no after effects, and that you and your daughter indeed are just tired. Thank you for the reminder.

No, the CEO of CB is Julie F Masino, Bernie Marcus is the dead CEO of Home Depot, and David Marcus is a Fox News correspondent who just wrote about CB’s new logo.

I know why, JD.

It’s because in 1967, Governor Ronald Reagan abolished involuntary commitment of people with mental illness — then in 1981, President Ronald Reagan repealed the Mental Health Systems Act, shuttering federal mental health centers.

JD Vance on homelessness: "I don't know why we accepted that it was reasonable to have crazy people yelling at our kids. You should not have to cross the street in downtown Atlanta to avoid a crazy person yelling at your family. Those are your streets."

The hold he has on anxious white people is bizarre. "But the food dyes!" I'm sorry, but getting rid of cancer research, infectious disease prevention and cancelling the public communication of things like bird flu spread are actively making our lives worse than eating a jolly rancher.

They painted and painted before finally his friend caught on and says " I don't think they want us to paint the white line," and threw the buckets into the bushes.... and kept on going.
