Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

I must have a very bad memory b/c I cannot for the life me remember any of these self-serving playactors calling for Scott Morrison's resignation after an Australian man groomed by years of blatant Islamophobia from political and media arenas flew to NZ to murder 51 Muslims. 🤷🏻♀️ #auspol #BondiBeach

Good. Other big states should follow suit since Congress under the GOP won't protect our rights here.

NY AG Letitia James has sued UPS for stealing millions in wages from its seasonal holiday workers.
UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay.
This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.

There is no ceasefire in Palestine.
There is only genocide.
And it is not anti-genocide protests that are causing any rise in anti-Semitism in Australia.
It is Israel's erasure of Palestine and Palestinians that is the cause.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

If patterns of Republican defeats in 2025 hold, the party will lose the House in 2026, and perhaps the Senate. They’ll also lose governorships and hundreds of legislative seats — transforming state politics.
Republicans know they’re vulnerable. But they will not change for fear of offending Trump.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

You are quite correct, Professor. Our state premier is already foreshadowing changes.
The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

And whoever constructed that lie is the perfect example of the problem here. Just Racism. Thank you for alerting Blue Skyers to that fabrication.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

From a big redistricting defeat for Trump in Indiana to Democratic victories across Florida, Georgia, and Iowa, it’s been a big week for Democrats. Add Trump’s falling approval and another failed attempt to re-indict NY AG Tish James, and we’ve all got reasons to celebrate.
Our Wins Of The Week
In a major defeat for Donald Trump, the Republican supermajority in the Indiana state Senate rejected redrawn congressional maps that would have given Republicans two more seats in the U.S.
