The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

The fundamental reward structure of their minds has been completely rewired around "trying to impress 100,000 of the most sociopathic white supremacists in history, carefully curated by Elon Musk" and it has turned them into gleeful murderers and open psychopathic freaks.

It's not about Berniebros--its about the false notion that social justice and economic populism are in tension with one another. I want a better choice than picking between liberal feminism and leftist chauvinism
Whatever you think about the Platner tattoo situation- glad we can go back to the toxic Bernie bro narrative as we attempt to build a movement against fascism in this country. Eyes on the prize.
In general there are many Democratic and leftist men who feel they could have 60 Platners elected across the country if they didn't let themselves be emasculated by the woke scolds and feminists they associate with the failures of the Democratic establishment making them hesitant to let Platner go

The way health care gets made universal in America is by expanding eligibility of known, existing programs to additional age brackets/constituencies and regulating the rest to ensure quality and comprehensiveness.

Hating the ACA is similar to hating on vaccines.
It's a luxury borne of not really appreciating what existed before.
The fix wasn't perfect, and there is a lot more that we could do to make it better.
But the "ACA Was Bad" Discourse is just untethered from reality.

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor.
I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

The Republicans are trying to make it so trans folks on Medicaid are forced to detransition, and you are talking about “gender police.” People are going to die if the Republicans have their way, but not getting criticized for being rude to people is apparently more important to you.

Nearly final CBO score of the GOP reconciliation plan is out.
Their bill would cut program spending by $1.5 trillion but spend $312 billion more on defense, ICE, etc., for a total of $1.2 trillion in spending cuts.
Plus $3.6 trillion in tax cuts.
For a total of $2.4 trillion in higher deficits.
