@decervelage.bsky.social the subject of Shaft came up & I thought you’d appreciate this clip, plus the stage designer references Cocteau’s hall of torches in Beauty & the Beast!

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

To want to be close pedophiles is disturbing and what did he possibly participate in to gain access?

This is just too good and important not to share.

Robert Reich has emerged as one of the most visionary leaders of our time.

For me he’s up there with FDR, Robert Kennedy &yes, if more people listened to him & took his advice, MLK Jr.

You would think if you were incontinent you wouldn’t be making shitting your pants jokes but here we are.

Hang a lantern on your flaws, maybe!

Hey Webster’s we need a new word for shameless, willfully insane leadership.

I don’t think even the Germans have a word for this guy.

the word ‘liberal’ has no meaning in your sentence.

What is a liberal?

The subject of Israel has obliterated such distinctions.

Rationalizing genocide requires that meanings of all words be redefined.

That Bitcoin looks like a nice stable base for a steaming pile of shit. Or a little girl whose skirt he’s lifting.

Get to work, Washington!
Trump's statue going up in DC is giving some eerily similar vibes to dictator Kim Jong Un's statue in North Korea. 🫠 Worshipping a president is NOT NORMAL. America has NO Kings. Americans don't want to be North Korea.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment.

This is the litmus test.

Learn from history.

Who will step up and fight?

Who will bend the knee and be complicit?

Kinda weird, what we’ve been fearing for years is really happening now, they’ve really made their move. I didn’t think they would have the balls to remove Colbert Kimmel Fallon & Meyers so early in the transition to full Fascism.

It’s really all happening right now. This is what it feels like.
🇺🇸 down we go. The thin-skinned president won’t stop until all who mock him are off the air.

Antifa also doesn’t exist so it all works out.
There is no legal category as “major terrorist organization.” It does not exist. And he can’t do this.

Just an administration of posters, basically.

Guess someone read the replies to his post re the new Obamacare exhibit in his vanity library.
It’s all lawlessness that affects the cost of goods AND destroys democracy. Good 🧵
Barack Obama just delivered a blistering takedown of Trump's lawlessness. Importantly, Obama also offered Dems a way to argue that Trump's dictatorial abuses of power and his imminent wreckage of the economy are the same story.

i hope so.

He’s never willfully leaving.

An impeachment conviction would do it if public outrage forced 20-ish R senators to vote for it.

Is that possible?

Never say never.

A mass, sustained general strike & oligarch-product boycott wouldn’t hurt…
It absolutely does. And it will matter more as the amount of disillusioned citizens grows. There's only so much opposition they can reasonably oppose.
