MEN IN BLACK: ALIEN ATTACK opened 25yrs ago on April 14th 2000 @ Universal Orlando.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work with an incredible team on something so groundbreaking -- and truly humbled by the fans who have constantly made it a must-see park favorite for a quarter-century!

How is that probable cause?!

Screenshot of a tweet from Matt Hill (@thematthill) on X. The tweet states that Greg Bovino admitted agents can detain people based on behavior like looking scared or gripping the steering wheel tightly, even if they’re U.S. citizens. Below is a CNN screenshot showing Bovino being interviewed, with the headline: ‘Exclusive: Agent leading Trump’s immigration crackdown speaks to CNN.’

You'd think at least one national paper would have covered the truly unhinged display at the White House yesterday.

Popehat Agitates And Irritates @kenwhite.bsky.social · 1d

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Reminder: Charlie Kirk's TPUSA is a terror organization.

People who make those who speak out against fascism a target ... are fascists.

People who enable or directly use violence (and the preceding threats) for a political goal ... are terrorists.

Fake NFL fan pages on Facebook are churning out made-up reactions to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, with foreign clickbait articles attributing the same quote calling the singer a "puppet of the left" to over a dozen different coaches and players. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Offering immigrant children $2,500 to self-deport and threatening them & their families with detention if they decline is just coercion.

This is wild:

ICE is targeting kids.

“The idea that masked men would now go to 14-year-olds and ask them to waive their rights to return to the countries that they fled is shocking.”

I liked it even more the second time. Sure, it’s a big, loud A-to-B plot, but there’s some fun ideas and nuance there amongst the bombast.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

The DOJ's own data 1990–2024 found that far-right extremists were responsible for 520+ deaths / 227 incidents, compared to 78 deaths / 42 incidents from the far left.

Six times more.

Pam Bondi keeps spreading the lie that the left is the real threat.

They want fear to drive your vote, not facts.

I met Andy Ngo once, when I was speaking at a thing and he found me backstage and tried get me to say something he could use against me.

What leaped out was how comically shifty he was. Nervous, sweaty, desperate. No game at all, no charm.

Up close, they are what you figure they are.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.
