Whether you loved, hated, or didn’t even watch the critically acclaimed, widely viewed Netflix series #Boots, the show’s abrupt cancellation should concern everyone.
@netflix.com caved to backlash from the pentagon/US Govt.

Our house adored Norman Lear’s final work. 🫡🏳️‍🌈

It’s obvious that *before this week* Trump had never heard about Venezuela nationalizing its oil industry (in 1976!) but now it’s a casus belli in a shitshow that makes the 2002-03 run-up to invading Iraq look like a model of planning, preparation, and logic.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

Terrific piece by @jamellebouie.net that articulates the central problem with the Trump presidency.

He demanded unprecedented power and has, thanks to his lickspittles in Congress & SCOTUS, been granted it. But he has little interest in using it beyond his grasping selfishness. The nation's adrift.

Find and remember the names of every politician who voted “yes” on this absolute horror of a bill.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

As if leaving me with another submarine that now can't sink, to go with all the ships that now don't float, the Ukrainians even hacked our surveillance cameras so we filmed their attack for them.

You've been hit by a car and you're fading in and out. You ask the EMTs to price the ambulance ride. You get to the ER and tell the docs you'll need a price on each service before it's done. You get cancer so it's time to put treament out to competitive bid. I can keep going...
