To all the Americans on Bluesky, your homeland needs all of us to work together.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.

We ALL need to step up for the first amendment.

By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

The 2025 off-year elections are around the corner, and the marquee races in Virginia, New Jersey, and NYC tell a very different story than four years ago. Democrats are gaining ground, and what happens this fall could set the tone for 2026.

Some reflections on the Idaho killings and the nature of evil. Thanks for reading.
Writing someone off as “evil” is an excuse to ignore the causes of human dysfunction, Amanda Knox writes. “That’s why I keep trying, even when I fail, to feel some degree of compassion for those labeled as ‘evil’”:
What Is Evil?
Explaining away even the most horrific acts of violence by saying some people are just wicked is understandable—but it won’t help us build a safer society.

It was an honor to meet so many fans while at #SDCC to promote IT RHYMES WITH TAKEI.

My story is a testament to how far we've come... and how urgently we must stand up for LGBTQ+ rights today.

I hope it inspires you, just as your stories inspire me. See you next time. 🖖 ‪

My first 4th of July in prison, more homesick than ever, a male guard cornered me in the shower and tried to kiss me. I ducked away, sat on my bunk, knees tucked, without looking at him, until he left.

I think of that every 4th of July. Yay...freedom!

Some Sunday morning thoughts as I see colleagues worrying about backlash for their #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld reviews.

I get the concern, but come on y'all, this has always been a part of the game. Nothing comes without a price...

I’m happy to come on your big shows and discuss it with you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mexico and Canada just gave a masterclass in handling Trump: let him brag, give him a face-saving win, and walk away having conceded nothing. The Big Picture unpacks how this strategy could keep him in check on the world stage.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
