So are you going to put a hold on DoJ nominees? On US attorney nominees? Or at least on Ed Martin himself?

Um ... "small army" of private citizens, "processing camps" ... this is sounding familiar.

Testify.

We are witnessing a historic and frequently illegal dismantling of the government by the richest man in the world. Lets check in on the Congressional committee whose job it is to monitor what is happening in the executive branch:

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

We love merit, don’t we folks?

Drea in hour one: "Billy Ray has grown so much!" Drea in hour five: "That's fine, I think less of you as a human, no big deal..." The @screendrafts.bsky.social 2024 MEGA Draft is a *ride* (coming soon) @dreaclark.bsky.social @billyraybrewton.bsky.social @aduralde.bsky.social

September 5 drops tomorrow on Paramount+ -- if you've missed this Oscar nominee, it's well worth your while. #filmsky 📽️

This would be great but he also just fired a bunch of generals and lawyers who would object to war crimes and made a podcaster the deputy of the FBI so I have my doubts!

Our review of Holidazed - The Lewin Family with @aduralde.bsky.social is available now! Do you want a second season of Holidazed or would you rather it stay a limited series? 🎧 all platforms 📺 @Philo.tv/DTH

AI bros reliably want to use AI to replace people who tell them “no,” like workers and lawyers and women

www.404media.co/the-bigotry-... “The most obvious issue to me about this list is that it’s being done in the name of ‘efficiency and saving money.’ It is not efficient to take engineers off their work to scan old content for any keywords this new administration hates. The bigotry is astounding..."

it would just be horrible if this started happening everywhere all of the time

Tune in TUESDAY when Christy @christylemire.bsky.social and Oscar expert Glenn Whipp make all their awards picks. #filmsky 📽

CLEOPATRA is a good movie for the flu. It's endless and moves like a barge and I've taken several naps while watching it, always making sure to rewind to the part where I fell asleep so I don't miss any outfits, makeup, hair, or moments where Elizabeth Taylor is commanding obedience.

That should be the populist left line. People hate billionaires and railing against them is immensely popular.

His followers are like, “Surely there must be some mistake, he said only THEIR lives would be ruined. I’d better message the president and let him know.” We’re in the denial and bargaining stage folks.

In-person tickets are low (and free!) for my book launch for BACK AFTER THIS on Thursday night at East City Bookshop. (You can also attend virtually!) I am going to be in conversation with @ghweldon.bsky.social, so I hope if you’re free, you’ll come. www.eastcitybookshop.com/events/16571...

It is 2025 A.D. The Nazis lost in elections in Germany today despite attempts to buy it by the American King and his edgelord Cromwell, and the winning political coalition is already talking about the US as an enemy to democracy. Wild wild wild.

He said the quiet part out loud. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

German turnout is 84%. This contributes to sweeping voter rejection of right-wing AfD—by 4-1 margin, despite Musk/Vance interventions. If U.S. had 84% turnout in 2024 (as opposed to 64%), Dems would almost certainly have been better positioned. Boosting turnout should be a major Dem priority.

🗣️WATCH: “Pull your head up. We got this. We are in this together.” @tequilamjohnson.bsky.social gets a standing ovation in rural Tennessee as she points to the resilience of Black folks throughout history to say Trump is not a hurdle that 🇺🇸 can’t overcome.

We should send newly confirmed expert, RFK Jr. to Wuhan so he can expose himself to this new virus and let us know if everything is ok. If he looks good after a few months they can send him back home! 😜 I’m sure he wouldn’t want to endanger anyone with vaccines! www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

The guy who essentially just won the next chancellorship, Friedrich Merz, has been doing a press tour for the past week or so talking about how America under Trump can’t be trusted and promising to investigate Musk for meddling in the German election.

Disenfranchising women is a key project of Christian nationalism.

If you are clear-eyed, looking at America, and worried about democracy, the lesson is that half-measures and incrementalism are not going to cut it.

Responding to Trump II by repealing S230 is like responding to Pearl Harbor by shooting down your own airplanes.

The funniest part is an allegedly grown man talking this much trash while wearing a hat that says PROUD BOYS. It’s like thumping your chest in a t-shirt that says I’M MOMMY’S LIL STINKER

“I took an oath not to drink anything toxic, but we’ll never know if this paint is toxic unless we drink a whole can of it”

Here’s hoping they undercut each other before they eliminate the rest of us.

According to Trump’s longest serving COS, retired Marine General John Kelly, Trump said Hitler ‘did some good things’ and wanted generals like the Nazis. 🚨 🚨 Trump now has his wish and can instruct his loyal military to violence against anyone who is not loyal, no questions asked 🚨 🚨

I often think back to a conversation I had with a Trump supporter before the election who said she loved Elon now because he made it okay for conservatives to be on Twitter. She doesn’t even have a Twitter account. A lot of them just like the idea that they were a victim and now they’re not

Tomorrow night at USC a FREE screening of our film on their IMAX screen. RSVP here: cinema.usc.edu/events/event...

Guys, valvoline has a piss chart

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

what people who don't play games don't understand about him paying other people to do things which he imagines himself as having done then fumbles remarkably badly in ways apparent even to total beginners when he takes control with his unearned confidence is that's all he's ever done with everything

Wait what!? Big Balls is the grandson of a KGB spy. gizmodo.com/doge-staffer...

This cartoon from Ellis Rosen Cartoonist @NewYorker cracks me up. #scriptsky #filmsky #JamesBondSky

I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

He's openly admitting they're going to use the military to do illegal things and fired all the lawyers so no one will stop them. They will use the military on US civilians and they will give the order to shoot. The question is whether the rank and file listen.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old blood & soil factory. So when Steve Bannon and Elon Musk promised to bring back Heil Hitler salutes, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.
