An important note on the awful, awful, awful Paramount-WB merger settlement: Latham & Watkins, O'Melveny, Covington & Burling, Fried Frank, Winston Taylor, and Wilkinson Stekloff: YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. Don't tell us about all the pro bono you do. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

This is not deporting people. Literally. Legally. There is a deportation process and this isn't it. This is rendition. This is disappearing people.

This Paramount-Skydance merger deal is awful! Allowing this merger to go through with the weakest of weak sauce “deals" one could imagine is an incredibly devastating betrayal. One man will now control almost inconceivable amounts of news, film, TV, and other programming.

You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Every time Republicans cut services, every time your rent goes up—that's politics. They're betting you won't show up. Prove them wrong. If we're not at the table, we're on the menu. #BlueWaveIn50Days

After 9/11, there was this quip circulating among neocons: "Everyone wants to go to Baghdad. Real men want to go to Tehran." But it didn't happen, because even among that bloodthirsty crowd they realized what a spectacularly stupid idea it was.

When I was volunteering at the COVID19 vaccine POD in 2021, people would say over and over again that they were getting vaccinated for the people they love. Last year, only 17.5% of American adults got the COVID19 vaccine. Please get one for the people you love. 💕

When Gloria Steinem co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972, the honorific “Ms.” was virtually unheard of. Unmarried women were referred to as “Miss [father’s last name]” and married women as “Mrs. [husband’s last name].” “Ms.” was an assertion of individual identity. Women who used it were widely mocked.

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

It's only 12 seconds long, but Louis Armstrong's unaccompanied opening to "West End Blues" still amazes, almost a century after its 1928 recording. The whole song is a beauty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WPC...

Natalie Harp is a year older than Martin Luther King Jr. was when he gave his I Have a Dream speech. She has agency and is running the propaganda operation that serves to put people in concentration camps. She does not get a pass because she looks like a dipshit teenager.

Congress needs to pass a law enforcing the 14th Amendment. “No person shall…hold any office…who, having previously taken an oath…to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

This — very much this. It’s crazy how Platner yields “Dems in disarray,” when action is taken, and crickets about the right when nothing is done with Miller. Another great example about how the media’s default frame is actually right-friendly.
