The decision to live-stream the execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad will, indeed, send a message. But it will not be the message its creators intended. It will be this message: America is going backwards. And it is becoming weaker. Aloha 🇺🇸🙏🏼🤙🏼

In episode 88 of Supreme Court Briefs, the United States goes to war with Hollywood, and that's why movie theater popcorn costs $12 today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfWL...

A celebrity staying quiet about politics during a time when we face growing authoritarianism just means that celebrity doesn't have courage. That's all. I lost a lot of viewers when I spoke out against Trump. I don't care. It's better to use my influence to speak out against authoritarianism.

For a John Lennon birthday timeline cleanse, I was randomly assigned his phone number in NYC in 1992 after Yoko Ono disconnected it when it appeared in Albert Goldman's biography ⬇️. I got calls from George Martin, Elton John, Rod Stewart, and many others. I hope you are having a great day!

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

I think in reality, what socialism means in the American context is that you like to rename things to distract people from an unpopular war, rising food and fuel costs, and the Epstein Files.

For those who haven't heard, I'm in a new podcast with the ACLU called "Let the Record Show." I took inspiration from my Supreme Court Briefs series, but ya know...the podcast isn't so brief- we go into way more depth on major cases. The second episode, about Marbury v. Madison, is out now!

Most people share the same values and beliefs. Polarization is amplified by the profit motives of media companies that benefit from fear and anger, and this really began to get bad about 30 years ago. Guess which news organization made its debut 30 years ago?

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."
