Peaceful protests labeled as domestic terrorism. Violent insurrectionists pardoned. The hypocrisy is blinding. Dark times indeed.

Been a long time since I enjoyed a comedy on the big screen the way I enjoyed Mickey 17. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Mickey 17 was awesome. A shame it seems to be disappointing at the box office. #filmsky

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social what the hell happened to Maria Bartiromo? I remember watching you both on CNBC and it being normal financial news coverage. Was she always crazy?

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social I’m sure many have said this, but how sad you were a part of a perfect depiction of rebels fighting back against an authoritarian empire. Amazing movies absorbed by millions who envisioned being the heroes, now choosing to support the Empire.

Disgusted by the president and vice-president's treatment of Zelensky. Shocking that some (republicans) don't see that press conference for what it was - an ambush where we bullied an ally.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Reporter: Why do you want to be chairman of Kennedy Center board? Trump: Some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace. Reporter: Have you seen any shows there? Trump: No, I didn’t go.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

“This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!” Thanks Don. Always appreciate your words of wisdom after a tragedy. Also, I wonder how many times you will echo these words knowing full well that you removed an element that would’ve prevented the tragedy.

MAGA attacking DEI is going to elevate the most medicore white dudes at the expense of qualified people, especially women and people of color, and all of them, and the rest of us, are going to suffer. Racism is always self destructive but then again this is America.

"Homicide and most other violent crimes have dropped below levels seen before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide social justice protests of 2020, according to a new study of crime trends in 40 American cities...by the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ)." But most Americans don't know.

Dan McClellan is a PHD accredited bible scholar. And he has taken issue with trump and his followers response to Bishop Budde. He is always very thorough in his explanations. And he is no less here. youtu.be/IB8P6R6ZLGo?...

what you gotta understand is that the right and especially the religious right understand, at a ledger-sheet level, that the advance of knowledge has been bad for business. that they now fully grasp this means it's all hands on deck to make education worse or their brand can't survive.

They absolutely got away with it. They are likely to continue to get away with such things for a while. But here’s the thing: I’d rather be unsuccessfully decent than successfully evil.

Everyone needs to watch this. Everyone.

In a Jarmusch phase, and Champagne from Coffee & Cigarettes hit me hard—laugh-out-loud funny and deeply moving. Beautifully crafted/acted. #film #filmsky

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won? It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social This has been exhausting to observe I can’t imagine how it must be to have these interactions. Thanks for what you do.

A Night to Remember, then Home Alone, and now Muppet Christmas Carol. Perfect Christmas Eve entertainment.

holy hell this is sad stuff from CNN

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social Yup. Thanks!

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

A Man on the Inside was a perfect binge watch for this holiday weekend. Especially poignant to watch with my elderly parents who are reluctant to move to a retirement community.
