"I will not share that stupid article, I will not share that stupid article, I will not share that stupid article..." - Chant I do every day

So they won't protest Trump and the Republicans but they'll protest Marvel? variety.com/2025/film/ne...

This was still on?

Just once I would love to know why Bernie Sanders was such a huge Tulsi fan for the longest time despite all her obvious red flags.

I'm taking note of all the progressives in the US who claim to be about fighting the oligarchy who are silent on Ukraine. Ukrainian investigative journalists and civil society risk their lives to expose their oligarchs and their links to our own here at home. The fight against kleptocracy is global.

Today is President Abraham Lincoln’s birthday! Lincoln a staunch defender of“wokeisim” “DEI” abolition of slavery, the U.S. Constitution, & Declaration of Independence wouldn’t have any part of the felon, modern GOP, or oligarchs, just like biblical Jesus Christ wouldn’t recognize Christofascisists!

Elon Musk was not elected to hold Office DOGE is not a Federal Task Force Trump is not a King Keep reposting this

The post-Second World War federally supported research infrastructure that propelled American universities to global prominence is collapsing before our eyes.

America is like the writer's room for The Handmaid's Tale in that there's always a sign up on the board that says "THINGS ARE BAD."

Kanye West:

What I say: I am a proud member of the Resistance and I will fight back against Elon Musk! What I mean: I refused to let a cyber truck take my space when I was pulling out of Starbucks today.

I'm running out of ways to say "I told you so."

What’s up Dearborn? Where my “Genocide Joe” posters at? Oh wait, they stopped giving a shit the second the Democrats left office.

Boy, I'd give anything to know what Olivia Nuzzi is thinking right now.

I’ve always been a big privacy advocate. But I have no problem with Elon Musk, who I do not support, having access to every American’s Social Security number. by Glenn Greenwald

With the wheels falling off Emilia Pérez's wagon, I hope Netflix is kicking themselves for not pushing Natasha Lyonne for Best Supporting Actress in His Three Daughters. It would be a slam dunk Oscar for them. Who wouldn't want to vote for Natasha Lyonne? (Helps that she's great in it too.)

“The Academy is reeling from the implosion of Emilia Perez’s Oscar campaign. Here to tell us how the film can reconnect to White voters are the Pod Save America guys.”

Know who doesn't have racist tweets? Marianne Jean-Baptiste. Just saying. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

In case it is not clear from my reposts, the Trump administration is engaged in an illegal AND unconstitutional to seize power over the federal government away from Congress and the courts. "Pausing" payment on the government's bills is just one part of it, but it is among the worst.

I am never, ever, fucking calling it anything but the Gulf of Mexico.

Hey democrats, you know ‘democratic messaging’ doesn’t just include politicians, right? If you are constantly bashing democrats then the message YOU are sending is that democrats are bad.

I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the transgender communities of the world, and for equality for all for which it stands, one community which represents love, equality and justice for all.

“Emilia Perez isn’t going to save the Academy.”

I spent all of childhood and most of adulthood in deep anxiety, anger, and denial over my gender identity. For many years, I prayed God would somehow heal me. It took a long time to recognize being trans is a gift from God and that I am lovingly made in God's image. Trump can take it up with Her.

Favorite Oscar nominations today: I'm Still Here making it in for Best Picture and Best Actress for Fernanda Torres. I love that film and I hope everyone sees it now. Least favorite: Emilia Pérez tying a bunch of other films for the second-most Oscar nominations in history (13).

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

Thanks for the repost, Jamelle!

I think one of the reasons more outlets didn’t straight-up say Musk did the Nazi salute yesterday is because they’re terrified of getting sued by him.

A lot of people here who consider themselves progressive should take some time to decide whether they're going to spend the next four years picking niggling side fights and out-lefting the person one inch to their right, or making common cause against bigotry, cruelty, and authoritarianism.

It's always been obvious that the anti-DEI backlash wasn't driven by opposition to silly or ineffective trainings, it was opposition to diversity itself.

It's been more than 50 years so I'm just going to say it: Bob Fosse deserved to win the Best Director Oscar for Cabaret over Coppola for The Godfather, if only for this scene. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUc...

I'm appalled that more journalists aren't admitting that Musk did the fascist salute outright yesterday, so I did what I do best––I wrote about it. jeremyfassler.medium.com/journalists-...
