I, maybe naively, thought there was a chance a new regime could backtrack on some of the shit Disney has done the last 6 years. But looks like that's not gonna happen, huh?

Je'von needs to be pushed better, starting yesterday. Just look at that. No one else does that. He needs to be working with top talent like the other call ups are.

Here is the full story, they’re stopped two special ed busses in Saint Paul and now the school district is taking two days off so that teachers can prepare virtual options for the indefinite future. Special ed kids cannot go to school safely without being hassled by armed and masked federal goons.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

The binary mindset that we either get a Netflix/WB or a Paramount/WB is *completely untrue*. Warner Bros without its dying cable channels can be a profitable company, as it was this year. All of these merger offers are illegal, and state AGs can challenge them and win.

And then there’s a world here where movies like Sinners and One Battle After Another don’t even hit our biggest screens, or they do only in major cities on the coasts. Further instilling that the movies are no longer for everyone now, just those in the right place with money.

I gotta ask, how did we end up with so influential people who are Fucking MARKS!!! Trump famously thought McMahon died when his limo "blew up", and last year asked the Undertaker, on camera, if wrestling was real... Trump's been in a WWE match! How far does this go!
Can someone who has read Nuzzi's book let me know if this is actually a thing in it? Or is this one of those "JD Vance bangs couches" things? x.com/bryancurtis/...

It's good that public sentiment flipped as soon as people saw the consequences of the things they thought they wanted, but we have a serious problem if we're going to keep cycling through this process forever.

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

Schools went on lockdown, people stayed inside. It lasted the entire afternoon. A constant din of whistles, sirens, helicopters, people shouting. Or dead silence.
I see the NYT, New Yorker, commentariat frame it as "activists clashing with ICE."
No.
ICE/CBP/DHS are terrorizing US citizens.

People are so brainwashed about Chicago being a crime infested hellhole that they assume white people and single family homes must be in the burbs. This is in the city.
its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

Went to Broadview ICE today. All I'm gonna say is... what I want is for whistles & neighborhood lookouts & text chains & the rest not to be necessary. I want the war on us to stop. I want no one--except those who are doing this--to hear the racking sobs of someone whose loved one is inside Broadview

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.
Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.
Stay safe out there.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team.
As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke.
Having Link here is good for so many people.
Please reconsider?

We need to understand that, too. There is no "reform." Either poorly trained people with no impulse control can murder people on the streets while we watch, or we have a democracy.
The two are antithetical.
