I would give up a year of my life to see a Trump perp walk.

Fuck baseball. Fuck the Oscars. Fuck any distractions until ICE stands down.

I went to see THE BONE TEMPLE this afternoon, and I was cackling throughout. I was the only one audibly laughing. Hope I didn't disturb anyone.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

"Just stay cool and don't make trouble until the midterms" is not going to cut it as an opposition response to a murderous regime whose masked thugs are killing people in the streets and then attempting to round up witnesses and destroy evidence.

I have watched the video of today’s murder several times and I am here to assure you that there were several agents restraining the victim when he was shot, and there is no way they were worried he was going to shoot one. Even if he had a gun, and I think that’s not true, he was not free to use it.

ICE claims he drew a weapon. It appears to me his weapon was confiscated before the shot was fired. The man in the tan jacket. Look at his right hand. Empty. He goes in at the victim’s lower back. You can see the victim’s shirt lift. Jacket man walks away with weapon. Shot fired. Man dies.

Murder.

I've seen very few people discuss what is to me the true subject of SINNERS:

The fascinating, impossible choice of dying at the hands of overt racists or being integrated into White culture and lose your soul in the process.

Watched SORRY, BABY last night, and I can't explain this, but Eva Victor reminds me of John Mulaney.

I hope everyone remembers that the Oscars are nothing close to an objective arbiter of quality (none exists) and represent only the plurality opinion of a small sliver of the filmmaking industry.

The only importance the Oscars have is the importance we freely give them.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

It's real strange to me that Daniel Craig never got an Oscar nomination for playing Benoit Blanc. A singular creation in a popular franchise, and a performance that got richer with every installment.

My hope is that Delroy Lindo's 2026 Oscar nomination will get 1996's RANSOM onto a streaming service.

No nominees for BLACK BAG. Cancel the Oscars.

I can already see the Delroy Lindo upset coming.

I gotta be honest. When you all complain about bad theater behavior, I really don't know what you're talking about. I go to movies all over the country, and I almost never experience it.

Last week, I saw Marty Supreme and sat in a row with 9 frat boys. They were quiet as a mouse the whole time.

Just learned that the actress who plays Nurse Dana on THE PITT was once married to Dennis Hopper, which explains a lot.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Fuck ICE. Fuck this administration. Fuck everyone who supports this.
Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries.
Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood?
FUCK ICE forever and ever.
