Rob Reiner spent decades defending democracy and fighting for equality - even when it wasn’t easy or popular. At a moment when silence is safer, his willingness to speak out is a reminder that protecting democracy requires courage.

I found this post I made about Rob Reiner from 6 years & stand by it.

His contributions to the world of cinema and the culture at large is immeasurable.

So is his loss. Gutted.

Rob Reiner was more than an amazing movie director to me.

He was one of our strongest public advocates for @TheDemCoalition, part of our Impeachment Task Force.

He was one of America's foremost voices of reason and wisest defenders of democracy.

Rob is an American treasure.

I keep wondering why Jake Tapper isn’t screaming about this shit from the rafters.

NOTE: Trump praises, defends, and pardons members of white supremacist groups. The ones with names, leaders, weapons, and body counts.

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.

Folks like "I'm agreeing with Rand Paul" and feeling weird about it should reframe.

Rand Paul is agreeing with you. About one, maybe two, possibly a handful of things.

Rand Paul is a stopped clock and still a self-centered destructive shit but sometimes possibly useful. Also still a bad person.

Oh
Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history.

Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

NEW: Russia is now demanding that Finland [and Sweden] leave NATO.

Russian FM Lavrov announced that the NATO arrangements demanded by Vladimir Putin in December 2021 are still in place and Europe's "last chance." Lavrov addressed his words directly to Finnish FM Valtonen on Thu.

ICE Melts Under Noem’s Shadow
ICE isn’t just losing support; it’s imploding under its own cruelty, incompetence, and Kristi Noem’s vanishing act, leaving America questioning who the real threat is.

Trump is causing mass confusion right now amid an active shooter situation at Brown University. Trump posted that the suspect was in custody, but Brown University and media reports say that is not true and that the situation remains active.

Here’s Donald Trump one month ago, hosting President al-Sharaa of Syria in the Oval Office and praising him as a “major advocate” of peace in the Middle East

al-Sharaa claims this area was outside of his control and the attack was done by ISIS

But Trump claimed he destroyed ISIS in his first term

Fox is now attacking the MeidasTouch Podcast for calling out the White House’s ridiculous claim that Trump’s bruised hands are from shaking too many hands.
Krauss: That doesn’t look suspicious to me at all, having worked with a lot of A-list talent who are out there shaking a lot of hands. I mean, the guy is an elderly man. Your skin gets thinner as you get older.

I'd like to see the next Dem candidate for president (and the entire party) run on a platform of immediately recognizing the ICC and supporting its prosecutions of all who violate international law including heads of state promoting murder, piracy, etc. Hold them accountable.

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Trump has had 320 nights to work on affordability, and he has put policies into place that are making it worse… that rally was basically an in-kind contribution to the Democrats. Midterm ads will be full of Trump from last night.”
