Nicky Katt, an actor known for playing wild cards and tough guys on TV shows like “Boston Public” and in films like “Boiler Room” and “Dazed and Confused,” has died. He was 54.

If you're finding yourself glued to your phone these days, scrolling the news, here's how to change your habits and get moving instead.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

There is no way that Trumpy weighs 75 pounds more than I do. No fucking way.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

I have this radical lefty belief that voting should be easier than buying a gun.

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Legal experts say states could help married women who have changed their last names by accepting documents like a legal decree or a marriage certificate, but it might not fix the issue for all.

Media Lets Trump Get Away With Propaganda Health Report https://twp.ai/4imfYZ

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Did you know if you're a woman, and a trans woman pees in the stall next to yours, then it doesn't make a single difference in your life?

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Forgive the rant, but what the hell is this Administration doing?  Not gonna be easy to undo the damage, folks. But I’ve got some ideas on where to start.

The end of an empire could be quickly approaching.

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

The media insists on talking about “What is Trump’s political strategy?” Sweet Jesus. The “Strategy” is destruction. Please, stop f*cking pretending that it’s anything else.

Must’ve cost big bucks to pay millions of people in 1,100 cities.

There is no maga majority

“What happened? You helped elect Donald Trump you fucking moron” - @timmiller.bsky.social

Newsflash, he doesn't give a shit about you or me.

I’m just sayin’. St Augustine FL is a town of 14,000. In a red county. And we’re doing this. #handsoff #50501 #April5 AND we have some spicy signs!

Incredible turnout at the #HandsOff rally in Boston

Hands off is EVERYWHERE today.

Protesters targeted Trump and Musk over federal layoffs, immigration crackdowns, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine and Gaza, among other issues.

ICYMI: From March 23rd, protestors from both sides of the US and Canada border held a protest against the Trump regime. This is what the US oligarch media isn't showing you. The protests grow bigger every month. #3E #Handsoff #FiftyFiftyOne

He’s skipping funerals for soldiers to golf with the Saudis.

Now THAT’S some #GoodTrouble. #HandsOff

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Hartford's #HandsOff protest was soggy and cold and damn inspiring. susancampbell.substack.com/p/it-was-wet...

Hands off our healthcare! Hands off our public education! Hands off our jobs! Hands off my 401k! Hands off my neighbor who has committed no crime! Hands off those Congressional seats that we are coming for in 2026!

Kamala Harris' husband ripped his law firm's decision to reach an arrangement with Trump admin to avoid a targeted executive order, sources tell CNN.

Fuck Trump. Fuck Elon. Fuck the oligarchs.

People are showing up to the #HandsOffRally big time. I mean we’re seeing Women’s March level attendance everywhere.

New Haven, CT! #HandsOff

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

a friend sent me this one

Adorable. The Boston ducks have protest signs #handsoff

What Cory Booker did wasn’t just about breaking a record or standing up for democracy—it hits different for Black folks. Strom Thurmond spoke for 24 hours to block the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Cory Booker, a Black man, shattered a segregationist’s legacy—and flipped the script. @booker.senate.gov
