I apologize but I will be talking about this thread for a while.
Everybody's talking about Dem strategy, so here's something to add to the mix.

I start with this premise: The best and most reliable indicator of whether someone will vote red or blue is the density of the place they live. More dense, more likely to be blue, & vice versa.
Fight don't fold!!
I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

From October 2025: History tells us that Warner Bros. Discovery’s plan to sell itself is probably going to end in disaster.

We're gonna have like two media companies total at some point and they're both gonna suck
as you dig through coverage of the Netflix Warner Bros merger, play a little game with me:

notice how many of them mention, at ALL, the two decade history of disastrous previous Time Warner mergers, and the massive layoffs, price hikes, and quality erosion that resulted

Netflix will buy Warner Bros. but not any of their legacy media branches.

Honestly hope this deal doesn't pass regulatory scrunity. But our federal is a bag of flaming trash so I doubt it.

This will change everything.

Tarantino called Paul Dano - "the weakest male actor in SAG? The limpest dick in the world"

Got a lot of respect for Tarantino but this is an unhinged take and just unnecessarily disrespectful. What did Dano do to this man??

“Titanic, I thought, was the most dreadful piece of work I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Altman told Los Angeles Confidential.

Honestly I'm a hard disagree on this. Not exactly my cup of tea but a truly epically made film.

Robert Altman once named the worst movie in cinema history
Robert Altman was strongly opinionated when it came to cinema, and he absolutely despised one of James Cameron's most popular movies ever.

Well. This explains a lot.
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

This is truly despicable behavior. There's no defending it. ICE needs to go.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

We're all so focused on right now we do forget... Most of this gets lost to time. Make things you're proud of. Make things that survive not just days or weeks but years.
sometimes i watch classic hollywood films — this happened recently with HIGH NOON — and i think, “yeah i get it, this whips.” i’m having a similar experience with music right now and specifically the work of duke ellington. i’m listening to the man’s work and i’m like, “yeah, this stuff is sick”

It seems pretty clear that while media and news are in a full blown upheaval the rich have decided to buy up everything and push their right wing agenda. Making public facing media was always more about contributing to society over making money. The money people don't like that shit.
The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

we can just keep saying he's dead and refusing to credit or acknowledge anyone who refers to him being alive, this will work, trust me and just follow my lead

The Jefferies Coward Meter™ moved slightly in the right direction for the first time in months today!
Jeffries: We can no longer unilaterally disarm. We’re going to take a close look at how states like California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and others can respond in ways that create the greatest opportunity to ensure the nationwide congressional map is as fair as possible.

So the current Attorney General knew the President was in the Epstein files and kept that information from the public?

Feels very deep state-y to me! Very swamp!

Where are the people who care about that again? Supporting them? Cool cool cool
