I am devastated to learn of the passing of Rob Reiner and his wife. "Defending My Life" has always been my go-to answer for my favorite film. Conquering fear is the best way to approach existence, it changed who i am. I know they won't need to look at any days, they're moving right on ahead.

The right is already lying about the death of Rob Reiner saying his son was transgender. They just can’t stop with their hate.

Rob Reiner’s son Nick had been battling drug addiction and homelessness, but was not trans. That is a fiction of the hateful right.

Rob Reiner, as I found out just a few weeks ago, was vocal in his support of the first Stonewall March in texas, all the way back in 1977, made his support of queer rights VERY public when it was not even a little bit fashionable to do so.
Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

On a personal note.

I knew Rob Reiner & his lovely wife Michelle. One of my happiest memories was chatting with them in their kitchen, making sandwiches talking politics, and movies.

They were kind people. Extraordinarily normal and very, very kind.

I love & miss them already.
Life is short.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Rob Reiner used his fame to advocate for progressive causes

Just a really special man, a terrible loss
Rob Reiner used his fame to advocate for progressive causes. 'Just a really special man. A terrible day'
The Hollywood director known for 'Stand by Me' and 'When Harry Met Sally' was also a political force and an outspoken voice for same-sex marriage and early childhood education.

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

The Erika Kirk CBS town hall is one of the most deranged programming choices in the history of television. If this is how Bari Weiss is starting to run CBS, I can’t even imagine what’s coming next

Not the first time a Muslim civilian stepped up to save lives. A Pakistani Muslim cab driver did the same in March 2025.

Individuals become radicalized and committed towards hate and violence. Sadly, it's a global phenomenon.

They don't define an entire people.

Gun control isn’t about taking anything away. It’s about admitting something has been added that we can’t manage.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

when you dig into the history of menswear, you find the same stories repeated. men who moralize traditional aesthetics rarely consider how their "tradition" was considered a corruption by an earlier generation, who wore things hated by people before them

Amidst all the hatred being spread by so-called leaders, it was a Muslim citizen of Sidney, the owner of a fruit store, who jumped and disarmed one of the gunmen shooting attendees of a Chanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach in Australia.

The president posted that a shooting suspect is in custody. Officials on the ground say that is not true and the shooter is still at large. It's not just incompetence and posturing - this is how you get people killed.
