This makes me think of that 1990 interview Trump did with Playboy where he admitted that when it came to Tiananmen Square, he was rooting for the tanks.

I filmed this backstage at a Dead & Company show, not long after the Parkland shooting. Bob Weir had asked to meet a group of student survivors — and the care, time, and respect he showed them was unforgettable. He always showed up to inspire the next generation. Fare thee well to a true legend.

I am horrified by the attack on a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, Australia. My thoughts are with the victims and our Jewish communities in NYC mourning. As antisemitism rises across the world, we have a moral obligation to stamp it out everywhere it exists.

Trump's Tariffs are so stupid. Let's say we make a deal with the UK for only a 10% tariff on US exports, but we charge Brazil 50%.

Brazil could simply import US goods through British distributors and bypass the 50% tariff.

Trump's team are a bunch of idiots.

Republicans gutted SNAP and Medicaid to balloon the ICE budget, so we’d get more of this.

This is a preview of what a police state looks like.

Look closely: the real cop is calm, uniformed, and visible. Versus the poorly trained masked goons harassing a man who was not impeding them.
