This is shameful www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the No Kings rallies were planned specifically as counterprogramming to Trump’s parade. Imagine if you were planning a birthday party and bars nationwide announced they’d hold Fuck That Guy’s Birthday Night and like 15 times as many people showed up to those

I served tea to Princess Grace of Monaco in her dressing room at the interval to a fundraiser she performed in. Fall 1977

I’m at Comerica but seeing as how it is raining into my beer, I am not optimistic

California Senator Alex Padilla was physically assaulted by federal law enforcement and detained for attempting to attend DHS secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in LA.

I'm so scared of cities. All those buildings so close to each other. You can go to the movie theater and a restaurant and the park while walking, in defiance of God. There are people you haven't met before. Sometimes there's a dog in a jacket

The SoBaps are, all every one, goin’ straight to hell.

@blacktopkid.bsky.social Happy Pub Day I am already casting the movie in my head. I have the ebook but am toying with taking the audiobook with me on my next cross country trip as it would be impossible to fall asleep while listening. Everybody else get in on this one!

Kudos to Cole Escola for their Tony win tonight and their exquisitely bridal updo. Funniest human I ever saw on stage #tonyawards

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

This is unspeakable: some m****** went to the Arboretum Peony Garden in Ann Arbor last night and cut off thousands of flowers. An act requiring some combination of planning, personnel, equipment, and privacy. Not just one drunken student with a pair of scissors. www.facebook.com/share/v/1C9L...

What if mad cow, but for the internet.

NEW: We obtained DHS data that shows the US knew only 32 of the 238 Venezuelans deported to a prison in El Salvador in March were convicted of US crimes, only 6 of those violent. Trump called them “savages,” “monsters” and "the worst of the worst.” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

“She means ‘fewer.’” - a Harvard graduate

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.
