Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

An absolute disgrace of a human being.
Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!'

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

He thinks 5G is about cameras. Donald Trump is an idiot.
Screenshot of a tweet from FactPost quoting Donald Trump saying the U.S. is “into 6G now,” criticizing modern cameras, and claiming he led on 5G. Below is a Fox News clip showing Trump speaking in the White House, with a chyron reading “NOW: Trump meets with business leaders at WH.”

The regime has unleashed its goons on anyone with brown or black skin. It's morally repugnant, un-American and must end.
Press conference clip showing a young Somali American man describing being assaulted and detained by someone in a mask; an ICE official stands beside him. The tweet notes he was chased, assaulted, and kidnapped despite being a U.S. citizen, raising concerns about ICE behavior.

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

From Call to Activism. I’ll take a real hero like Sen. Mark Kelly any day over a strutting wannabe leader like Pete Hegseth.
Text post criticizing Trump for putting Pete Hegseth in charge of the Pentagon, describing him as unserious and reckless. Below is a photo of a speaker at a podium in front of multiple American flags.

Meet two heroes of our times.
A PBS News tweet explains how two laid-off USAID employees created a website to match donors with canceled programs, keeping nearly 80 projects running in 30 countries. Below the text is an image of two people—Caitlin Tulloch and Rob Rosenbaum—appearing in a split-screen video interview, each seated in their respective rooms.

Calling it embarrassing is generous. The country deserves a proper Defense Secretary, not a grown man LARPing as one.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Unserious people are in charge of very serious matters. They need to go.
A tweet from Tom Nichols reads: “There is something very wrong with the secretary of defense.” Attached is an image from Pete Hegseth showing a parody children’s book cover titled “A Classic Franklin Story: Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists.” The cover depicts Franklin the Turtle wearing military gear and leaning out of a helicopter while firing a rifle at boats below, which are exploding and filled with drug bundles.

Young people in the U.S. have been priced out of their dreams. Stop acting like it’s their fault.
Screenshot of a tweet from Cory Archibald on X.com criticizing claims that young people are “hoarding” devices. The tweet says Boomers spent years telling young people to save money, and now blame them for not buying $1500 phones and for “costing the economy” by living at home. Below is a tweet from unusual_whales stating that $12 billion a year is being lost because younger people spend less on housing, transportation, and food due to living with family.

No more slop from the top.
Screenshot of a tweet from Cameron Kasky on X.com arguing government officials should not post AI-generated images because it harms media literacy. Below is a post from “Secretary Kennedy” showing an obviously AI-generated photo of four men—one resembling Elon Musk, one resembling Donald Trump, and two others—sitting around a Thanksgiving dinner table on a private jet. The caption says “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Also, in his last term, Trump mused about shooting protestors in the legs. The man is a convicted felon who issued illegal orders regularly to his top company officers.
A tweet from Brian Allen saying David Frum pointed out that calling the Pentagon the “Department of War” is illegal because Congress named it the Department of Defense. He says Trump aides’ made-up titles show willingness to issue illegal orders. The image below shows CNN’s “The Source” with host Kaitlan Collins interviewing David Frum.

Most Americans who voted for Trump did not understand he would do this.
Screenshot of a tweet from Nicholas Kristof on X.com. It reads: “This is insane: The Trump administration is arresting the wives and husbands of US citizens when they show up for their green card interviews, even though they entered legally and have no criminal record. So much for family values.” Below is a photo of a man standing outside holding a baby, looking distressed in a suburban neighborhood setting.

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.
Screenshot of a CNBC headline that reads: “How device hoarding by Americans is costing economy.” The subtext says Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever, which may be smart for consumers but can reduce productivity.
