Moulton: "The parallels with Iraq are unmistakeable. Bush said there was WMD in Iraq. Turns out that was a lie. Trump just made up fentanyl being WMD, which doesn't even come from Venezuela, just to justify this war. We said this wasn't about regime change, but it is."

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.
I love you all and am holding your hand as I say this:

Dems wield zero hard power levers
it's kind of crazy that there's even any question that democrats are going to do anything about this

All right. There's the confirmation. Call your US reps and tell them to impeach. Call your US senators and tell them to publicly support impeachment. blacksky.community/profile/did:...

I love how DePalma was so wrapped up in Hitch that even when he was doing Rear Window he was doing Vertigo 🫡🩷

It's important to note that this means that only 8% of the top 100 GROSSING films are directed by women. It doesn't mean that 92% of all films are directed by men. It means the films by women are not making as much money. But the directors are there and making films.
The annual study had some blistering conclusions and observations this year, as Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. and Lionsgate did not hire a single woman director for films included in the study in 2025.

There have been no good reasons for staying on Twitter for years now, but at this point you will have to follow up any of your remaining excuses with “…and I don’t care about the child pornography.”
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!

If you're still on X, you don't really get to complain about how you can't leave because everyone else is still on X.

It's like people in traffic, complaining about traffic. You're the traffic.

Happy 2026! 🥳 The reason why you and/or everyone you know is "sick all the time now" is because Covid has caused long-term damage to most people's immune systems, making them much more susceptible to opportunistic infections. The 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 way to counterbalance this is by masking with N95s/KN95s.

This trilogy is a gift that becomes more remarkable the further you get away from it

I started on an edit I didn't want to do bc I was being too precious/doubtful of my own ability.
And it's going great!
