I can’t wait for the prospect of watching foreign films in a back alley, in a non descript building, only to be raided by the feds.

So we’re okay with #jessewaters saying bomb or gas the UN because of the failed escalator and non working teleprompter that the WH was in charge of of. Make it make sense.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Trump labeling a decentralized anti-fascist network as ‘terrorist’ is self-parody. It undermines his free speech claims, he likely lacks the authority to do it, and it sets a dangerous precedent — criminalizing dissent under the banner of counterterrorism.

Some bonsai work I’ve been tending to—my way of keeping the path of creating art alive, whether through bonsai or other forms, even as the world feels hellbent on tearing itself apar

The irony of Antifa being labeled a terrorist group—good luck trying to define a decentralized system. #breakingnews

I watched Throw Away Your Books Rally in the Streets years ago, and its furious, experimental eruption of alienation and rebellion feels just as raw and reflective of today’s restless despair.

San Diego needs to weigh in. Fight back.

It’s all ironic given all of the insults lobbed by Trump over the years.

It’s not an outright cancellation but in effect an indefinite preempting.

ABC is a private company, so it can make its own choices. The real question is whether outside pressure from the FCC shaped ABC’s decision—that’s what actually affects the outcome here. #CancelingOfTheAmericanMind
