Our latest: Janet Mills beats Trump and lets him hear about it. Janet Mills wouldn’t bend the knee. Instead, she kicked the ass. The orange ass, to be specific.

“When famously squaring off with President Donald Trump over education funding, Mills said she would see Trump in court. She did just that, and on Friday she won a settlement for her state, for the kids and for people everywhere who needed to see a certain asshole bully get punched right in the eye”

There is this very surreal feeling when you are planning out hopeful events for 5-6 months away while also stockpiling medication, checking your go bag, and making sure you are ready to leave your home at the drop of a hat. Also you are working all day like nothing is going on in the wider world.

Not surprising. Though, it is painful to know many folks won’t wake up to the destruction until it’s already too late. But if 3.5% of us say NO by striking, we can put an end to this. We don’t have a choice - no one is coming to save us. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/05/...

One of the many things that the success of SINNERS has shown us, is that we want to experience things together. We want to be with each other. We want to hear each other's stories.

SINNERS has renewed my hope. As art. As someone's voice & soul. I didn't think I needed to be inspired or broken open again - but I did. This feeling is what I'm fighting for.

If I am reading the skeets correctly Canada elected a liberal government. They did what we could not. Then again, they had us as a flaming garbarge fire example of what not to do, so, in a way, you’re welcome, Canada. (I kid, I kid. Seriously, congrats to our Canadian friends. Mad respect).

IDEA: Stop covering politics like its a fucking sporting event. The GOP spending cuts don't provide an "opening" for Democrats to attack. They are either going to harm people or not. Journalism is supposed to be about informing people.

We live in a moment of great urgency and opportunity for Dems. But our nominal leaders aren't up to the challenge. Time for them to step aside or be moved aside so those who are actually leading can help save the country by seizing the moment. Waiting for Trump to self-destruct is not a strategy.
