LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.
Small businesses and states challenging the tariffs say Trump illegally invoked emergency powers to levy import taxes on goods.
I hereby designate these people I don’t like a “domestic terror organization”. My most dire warning yet. Please subscribe to my Substack for more: substack.com/@thefrankfig... #Antifa
I watched Kimmel's three most recent monologues, convinced I had missed the thing MAGA was outraged about. But it looks like this is it. It has to be more than this, right? There's just no way this is it.
I’ve listened to this clip and read the transcript several times, along with MAGA’s interpretation. Kimmel wasn’t saying the shooter was MAGA. What he was pointing out is that MAGA’s first instinct was to immediately cast blame and point fingers at everyone else. That’s not an attack, it’s facts.
Hard stop.

Oh drag the flag Pres Trump.
When someone asks for your card, hand them the very best.
James Talarico leaves Fox News host speechless
Everyone should be held to the same standards.
Missouri Republicans have passed Trump’s new map to remove a Black member of Congress, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Kansas City. Now that the Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act and DOJ won’t enforce it, Democrats hope to collect enough signatures in the state to force a referendum.
Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican' Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping. Here, he tells us his story.
The c-word.
Russian state sponsored terrorism on the civilian population of Ukraine.
Absolutely beautiful dance moves and choreographic perfectly with the music.🕺💓 Timeless vibes from the golden era of the '80s and '90s. 🎶✨
Comedian John Fugelsang's book from Putnam comes out in a day or two, Separation of Church and Hate. I have my copy ordered locally.
President Trump launched the "America Prays" initiative urging weekly prayer groups to unite the nation ahead of its 250th birthday. The effort includes new guidance to protect prayer in public schools, highlighting closer ties between religion and government. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...
Protesters have burned down the presidential palace, the residence of Ram Chandra Poudel, in Nepal, along with the documents stored there. #NepalProtests
More stunning images online. Burning presidential palaceand the parliament.Thank you for sharing this information.
Ah Pam, in a pragmatist stance I doubt the Flotilla will make it but agree "Seriously, Fuck the genocidal maniac running Israel."
Aptly said.
Releasing the names of covert intelligence officials is a crime. It amounts to #Treason.
It's rumored Trump's 50% tariff increase on India isn't simply from buying oil but because Modi refused to nominate this jerk for the Peace Prize.
Hate Crime.
Spot on.
How about just a competent US President.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
“He and fellow Republican commissioners also cut funding to provide free bus rides to the polls for low-income residents. “I don’t believe it’s the county government’s responsibility to try to get more people out to the polls,” O’Hare said at the time.”
Well this is a big deal and will probably go unmentioned in the press in the US.
and cheers to the hard working school teachers!
I'm in Washington state but kudos for the good work put in by y'all.
"This Much Is True" ~ Miriam Margolyes
But why?
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Putin's Russian War Criminals all.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
Salmon skin is super good for us.
This makes me cringe all over again.
Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.
Absolutely true and the US Pres lies again about his conflict resolution lies with no correction but for those who track or follow this.
In today's episode of "GOP, the party of pedophiles," we have this:
More and more of those Banksy-style posters of the Sandwich Guy are popping up in DC. Just had these (and dozens of other photos) shared with me.
“I began my career in live television at the 1993 Kennedy Center Honors. I was twenty-two years old at the time, studying acting in Washington, D.C. and working as a waiter in a barbecue restaurant.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
It will slowly dawn on more & more people that the only adversaries Trump sees are the American people themselves. He will make nice w/the world’s worst and use the military as a tool of oppression domestically. Private prisons, ICE & GOP Governors will all go along w/gestapo.
The Trump-Putin meeting should make one thing startlingly clear to Europe… …we need to throw in everything to ensure Ukraine wins the war outright. In fact, it’s not even about Ukraine winning anymore - it’s Europe that needs to win this war outright.

Surrounded by shoe licking sycophants.
I am sad and sorry for losing this person among so very many.
Yes, even beleaguered countries offer funds to aid Ukraine in support against Russian attack.
The UN General Assembly is days away and while resolutions have no legality I hope the General Assembly will bring a whole lot of not so happy facts into daylight.
the word butcher is too gross for me here. I can do better in word choices.
"A two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence." Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese u.afp.com/SMzn
I like the term "maladministration" a lot! Merci!
Attagirl aliciablackgirl. I'm one more person who with a full voice and keyboard agrees. I'm at a local demonstration 2x a month or more and it is going to count.
From time to time religious advisers masquerade as rabbis, priests, mullahs. Without the masque they reveal who they are: petty idiots, terrorists, creeps without any love for any god whatsoever.
Disgusting criminals. #EPSTEINfiles We must demand the Treasury Dept. Complies with Sen. Wyden's request: To reach a Legislative Affairs representative, call 202-622-1900 Fax: 202-622-0534 Email: LegAffairs@treasury.gov @dailymail.co.uk @thetelegraph.bsky.social
Catherine Sub...let's stay in touch on this one.
The list does go on and on and it's out there in the receipts that can't be expunged. I wouldn't trust this corrupted AG with a dead relative's last will and testament. Come on Texas!
Good God Trump and his GOP supplicants are desperate. This flaming $$ signing bonus is coming from US tax payers? Thug bonuses and for what?
No PMs as in postmortems or DMs as in direct messages? The only postmortem I ever hope to share is the death of the Russian war acts against Ukraine.
No posts in a month? How do you expect me to follow you?
Bwah-haha. After a hiatus, a fallow it's time to block some unneeded followers.

Can’t say he didn’t tell us that he would terminate parts of the US Constitution he didn’t like. He posted this in December 2022.
Atta-girl, you're my Senator. Keep it up. 🇺🇸
This miserable fraud has poisoned the national conversation about lifesaving vaccines with his conspiracy theories, but he is also doing so much more to destroy science and progress. This will grind lifesaving research to a halt and set us back decades for no good reason.
How it started: April 17 How it’s going: August 5 21.2% price increase in less than 4 months. Thanks Trump. #Trumptax
Olympics 2028: The year the US deports non-white athletes and fans.
Here in my sub-neighborhood in Seattle we protest every damn thing every Saturday at noon.
Purely war criminals.
First it started with a big gilded ballroom on the WH grounds...
Merci! Thing is I'm on a very low income. This is ridiculous!
Violent crime is at a multi-generational low in DC!
Oh feck! (an Irish English term for shake my head.)
Looks like I'll be getting my ongoing Covid19 vaccines from Canadian or European sources. I hope they'll accept my Medicare card as payment.
I’m guessing colloidal silver and Laetrile.
Credit to the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen. Defying the Israeli ban on filming Gaza from above, Bowen instead describes the carnage & genocide he can see: “I can tell you that communities in the north of Gaza that I knew well…with tens of thousands of people…are flat. There’s nothing left of them.”
Oh, Denial.
Humm.
uhh.
Hard work to feed people is no laughing matter but I'm chuckling hard here reading your reply.🙃
Roma tomato harvesters at work. The bins are stacked 3 high to protect this delicate produce during transport. This means more climbing & risk for the worker. Romas are smaller & harder to pick so it takes more time to fill each bucket. They earn 89 cents per bucket. #WeFeedYou
This is certainly the biggest "both sides" situation I've ever found myself in. No way this progressive Dem can reply in a few words. Of course this may draw fire but oh well. I know I was out on Saturday with a whistle, demonstrating for democracy.
Thank you for saying it so clearly. It's why (swy) you're a good follow, Christopher.
Oh crap, which post was I chuckling about! Short attention span here no doubt.
Donald J Trump is bilking the American people. Big time. Enough!
Dear Beyoncé, please sue him into oblivion!!
This has been in the back of my mind for 50 years. Not surprised.
Kindness is beauty.
Today: Farmers mkt. Looked online for a bathmat, an under sink trash can. Oh boy did that take up some time. Think I want a different couch. Shelly took me to breakfast. Kissed LunaCat, thought about god, gazed at the green of the big tree. Can’t remember what it was I'd postponed till tomorrow.
I have never abandoned my capacity to hope - because I am living proof of what’s possible.
🤣Chuckling outloud!
Sweet Jesus! or should I say, Sweet Moses! In an imperfect world some dope would just as easily want to impose sovereignty over my town, Seattle because we're sort of unruly. Name the names of the Senators and Congress people, please!
