MAGA is such a twisted, pathetic wasteland. I'm pleased to be here with you now.
Now for the other U.S. cities where they've been illegally deployed . . .

If the felon 🍊🤡 had any moral compass, this is ALL he needed to say. 👇 Instead, he used a horrific murder to warn those who speak against him, and to encourage his magalomaniacs to commit violence, while the media pretends this is all normal. I hate this dystopian world we are living in. JFC!

And to those billionaires who are set on dividing people, a quadruple screw you to you.
Don't mistake my disdain for the ultra-rich for jealousy. I don’t want your yacht, mansion, or your gold-leaf dinner.

I want roads that don't crumble, hospitals that heal, schools that teach, & people who can afford to live.

I’m just pissed that you’d rather hoard than have a functioning society.

It's a good time to remind ourselves and others that one of DonOld Trump's first actions as president in 2017 was to make it easier for people with mental illness to acquire guns.

He's as deranged as it gets.

Trump Repeals Rule Designed To Block Gun Sales To Certain Mentally Ill People
The president signed a measure into law that rescinds an Obama-era rule aimed at blocking gun sales to certain mentally ill people. The rule would have deemed about 75,000 people mentally incapable.

Loving Rob Reiner.
One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Trump is a psychopath—literally.

I warned about Trump’s psychopathology in this piece published before the 2016 election, in which I walk through the assessment criteria for a psychopath (aka a malignant narcissist).

There is no bottom.

My heart is broken about this news about Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. Rob was such a good and passionate person and you couldn’t find a better Democrat. He has left a tremendous legacy of fighting for good. I’m so grateful for his support over the years. May he and Michele Rest in Peace.

C'mon now, King Krasnov and kompany: Release ALL of the Epstein files . . . without your $1 million in overtime redactions. Okay? All right, then.

For every Carol Connelly (portrayed by Helen Hunt in "As Good As It Gets"), there are 58 million women or couples (or more) who do not have a well-off backer to pay for their child's healthcare.

That's no way for a "wealthiest country" to be.

Dismantle the #gICEstapo!
People with true authority don't need to dismantle additional proof of their actions.

Criminals do that.

Especially to private property.

So Canada is beginning to plan for an increase of its military reserves by 100,000 and adding 300,000 for civilian soldiers.
Thank you Donald Trump. Canada has to plan to protect itself from this right wing authoritarian government. Great.

Welcome 1812.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.
