If the embarrassment alone doesn't kill us, he eventually will, in some other horrendous way.

Trump said that the United States and Italy have been allies since the days of ancient Rome. The reaction on the translator's face is priceless. She is looking at him like he's a motherfucking idiot.

Normally my default reaction to a live-action movie of a classic cartoon TV series would be largely pessimistic, but I actually think Jim Carrey would CRUSH IT as George Jetson in a live-action Jetsons movie. www.ign.com/articles/jim...

Jim Carrey in Talks to Star in The Jetsons Live-Action Movie - IGN

Jim Carrey is reportedly in talks to star in Warner Bros.’ live-action movie adaptation of the 1960s animated TV series The Jetsons, which Jurassic World’s Colin Trevorrow is in line to direct.

There’s more of us than there are of them. They can’t control us. They can’t stop us from voicing our dissent. Thugs and thuggery is not a winning future, even if they think so. See you at No Kings.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

A state senator's racist text. A thirty-something GOP flack saying "I love Hitler." To JD Vance, they're all just "a kid telling a stupid joke."

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

CBS is not gonna like what happens next.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 1d

CBS aired a segment by Olivia Reingold—a reporter for the Weiss-founded Free Press—in which NYPD officers are worried about Mamdani, with some “considering retiring.” The evidence? Four unnamed officers quoted out of ~33,000.

The story is thinly sourced, fearmongering, tabloid drek. trib.al/hfqsrL0

1/6 🧵I grew up in rural America...the kind of place where the morning smell of diesel and soil told you exactly what kind of day it was going to be.
Half the kids in my class had dirt under their nails before breakfast.

Every time the GOP lies about Saturday’s peaceful protests, our massive No Kings Day events get even bigger.

We thank Republicans for their attention to this matter!

Aaron Rupar on Bluesky: “Trump on No Kings: "They have their day coming up.
I hear very few people are gonna be there, by the way. But they have their day coming up and they want to have their day in the sun."”

California, please vote yes on Prop 50. And we need other states to follow. Every seat counts. DT must be stopped.

As a woman, I can tell you 100% certainty, that I'm concerned about men who drive Teslas.

Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl.bsky.social · 23h

Men are 2x as likely to own an EV. While women are more concerned about climate change, EVs are marketed to men, men have higher incomes to afford EVs & a EV techbro culture formed thanks to Tesla. Women are also concerned about safety in public charging.

The real reason men are more likely to buy an electric car

High costs, poor public charging and manly marketing have skewed the electric car industry toward men, but women are encouraging their peers to go electric.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
