JB Pritzger's state address was a tour de force. The analogy to what happened in Germany in the 1930s is spot-fucking-on. 🎯🎯🎯👇

And everyone who said it’s not about race.

The fact that the very *first moves* of Trump/Musk were to dismantle racial integration efforts (yes this is what I will call DEI), and destroy USAID, an agency that helped victims of South African apartheid.

This is White Supremacy 4.0 in action.

For those evacuating with pets in LA: Hilton’s Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Tru and Canopy brands are all 100% pet friendly. Even cats! And a lot of hotels are waiving pet fees atm. Good on u Hilton! Pun intended: that’s hot.

if you live in LA and are or might be evacuating:

take a cellphone video of you walking around your place, going over all of your belongings, it's admissible when trying to get insurance payouts for it

If you're using the fires in LA right now as an opportunity to condemn or critique the culture or politics of my hometown or to laugh at celebrities evacuating, let me just say, and I mean this with all my heart:

Go fuck yourself, you miserable ghoul.

Stay safe out there, LA. ❤️

Governor Gavin Newsom at the Pacific Palisades Fire on President Biden:

"It didn't take more than a text message...no politics, no hand-wringing, no kissing of the feet. President of the United States said 'yes, what else do you need? The emergency proclamation is being drafted as we speak.'"

This is visible from every part of town. To give a sense of scale, the fire is in Pacific Palisades and West LA, on the *opposite* side of town from this video.

Very sad news to hear of the passing of Nobel Peace prize winner, exceptionally decent human being and former President Jimmy Carter. The world is now a bit darker without his light in it. He’ll forever be missed, but now he’s reunited with his love Rosalynn. RIP. 💙🙏😢

Donald Trump has picked Herschel Walker to be ambassador to the Bahamas. And thanks to Trump, the number of Black students at Harvard has dropped by more than half. What a time to be Black in America! 🏈

In honor of her passing, thought I’d post this excellent video of a conversation between her and James Baldwin. Even if you watch it in bits and pieces, it’s worth your time. youtu.be/AFGkNEt30Fo?...

I served as a US ambassador and know hundreds of others

Never met one before who hired a prostitute to seduce their brother-in-law or sent a videotape of the encounter to their sister

Or who committed 18 felonies & was pardoned by another in-law

I guess the job qualifications are changing…
