No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

Good.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

The United States doesn’t support Ukraine as a favor, but because it serves our security. Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky. Putin started the war, not Zelensky. Yelling in the Oval Office and siding with Putin is shameful and a danger to democracy around the world.

We deserve to lose every single ally we have, and at the rate we're going we absolutely will apnews.com/article/zele...

A message from Zelensky through his actions. Honor and dignity. Some things can only be surrendered. They can't be taken away.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Poster for my Boston Mutuals. Print, post, share widely, show up.

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

Protest in downtown Boston at the Tesla showroom at the Prudential center, this Saturday 3/1 at noon! #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla

If we get a 2028 election, let Walz be the nominee and let him run wild this time.

Joining in on the more underrated Gene Hackman performances with his downright dastardly turn in PRIME CUT as a sleazy country gangster running a foul of the Irish mob who sells young women at his slaughterhouse. No one played a downright bastard better.

Did anyone else collect the trading cards for Coppola’s The Conversation when you were a kid?

hey guys I'm trying to establish right-wing dictatorship in a wealthy, diverse, and relatively robust democracy. the ideal political economy for my project is one in which I've picked fights with the military and professional classes and strapped a ticking time bomb to Wall Street, right?

No talking about the Queen on the 4th of July until further notice.

Maybe you should have grasped that air traffic controllers are essential government workers before you fired several hundred FAA employees

there really ought to be more discussion about the fact that virtually every promise (or denial) trump made during the campaign was a total lie

This is terrifying.

goddammit

My bongo band? Incredible.

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

Someone got $38 billion in government funding.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Republicans want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting (tax cuts for the rich funded by healthcare cuts for the poor)

Musk's tech-bros have "refused to identify themselves, asked questions about political loyalty, attempted to pit colleagues against each other, and demonstrated limited technical ability. This process created significant security risks.” -- Civil servants who quit today apnews.com/article/doge...

Seems bad.

Three years ago today, Putin's tanks rolled into Ukraine, and Russian aircraft began bombing the country. Trump is lying. Russia started the war, not Ukraine. Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky.

The Trump Pentagon agrees to fly dangerous V22 Ospreys over the Super Bowl but refuses to commemorate Massachusetts resident and abolitionist hero Frederick Douglass with the usual military honors after ending celebrations relating to Black History Month. Outrageous. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

And just when the country needs him most, a corrupt, incompetent, blustering dumb ass will set him free.

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

I completely agree with this, and with the thread. If you don't discuss racism as a giant motivating factor (not the only one, but a huge one), you can't cover this administration, these people, or their party accurately.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

Hey Boston-area movie lovers! I will be giving a talk at Coolidge Corner Theatre on March 18 for their screening of Agnès Varda's wintery and tragic 1985 masterpiece, Vagabond! Screening on 35mm! Please come!!! coolidge.org/package/semi...

I will never stop thinking about this Gabe Newell quote

Ketamine has a golden opportunity to redeem itself for its crimes against Matthew Perry.

This is definitely better than having healthcare

Hey you!!! Yes YOU!!! We’re printing these awesome shirts and we think you should probably get one(or share the post)! All for a great cause!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
