Vance's golden touch strikes again

ORSON WELLES having fun with STAN LAUREL and OLIVER HARDY on the Fox lot in 1943 — where Welles was shooting ‘Jane Eyre’ and Laurel & Hardy were filming ‘Jitterbugs’.

From the slaveholding South to Jim Crow, Reagan’s billionaire revolution, and Trump’s police state, the same dangerous pattern keeps repeating. Is fascism conservatism’s ultimate destination? hartmannreport.com/p/does-conse...

Ding ding fucking ding.

It is still surprising to me that "students are protesting a genocide" was seen by the pundit class as a bigger crisis for higher education than "someone has invented a machine that means you never have to read or write again."

Trump administration can block immigration judges from closing deportation cases www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... #SCOTUS #Deportation #ICE

We aren’t legacy media but we led the morning with this from @premthakker.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/donald-tru...

From the outside, a lot of DSA internal politics these days looks like a clash between people who are becoming increasingly successful at democratic politics and people who want to act like authoritarians despite having no actual authority

Ok, seriously, THERE IS NEVER A REASON TO CALL 911 ON A 3 YEAR OLD. Never. Even if it's trying to stab you. Take the knife away. We're building prisons for CHILDREN. Calling 911 on toddlers. WTAF is wrong with you? Fix yourselves FFS!

The appropriate response to I'm-not-voting is *good for you, now fuck off.* Don't entertain their *reasons,* their reasons, even if true, don't matter. You don't show up when it's too late to get what you want and demand something that cannot be delivered if you're acting in good faith.

More people on Bluesky should think carefully about engaging with small I'm-not-voting accounts that become more active after Labor Day in an election year. They're not trying to win the argument, they just want to have the argument and boost visibility.

The FRENCH don’t play when it comes to a REVOLUTION

Simon & Shuster has responded to Jared Kushner's threats by accelerating the release of Matt Cole’s Princes and Thieves, with the book now available for purchase two days early (today). Buy your copy immediately. www.status.news/p/jared-kush...

The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.

Who's Next? The world could become a better place this Tuesday, if Israel votes Trump’s friend Netanyahu out of power. Expats are traveling THOUSANDS OF MILES to vote against him! Israel does not allow the majority of its citizens living abroad to vote by post.

John, your murder broke my heart

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Checking in on myself over on twitter

Barack Obama is back in Detroit for Abdul El-Sayed and Jocelyn Benson. Talks about how stupid it was for Trump to start a fight with our awesome neighbor to the North, we love Canadians. ❤️ 🇨🇦

Introverts are often alone but rarely lonely. We can spend entire days by ourselves without getting bored or feeling like we’re missing out on anything. We enjoy our own company and don’t need to constantly be around people to feel happy or fulfilled

Unreal. All Coloradans should be outraged. All Americans should be outraged. Vote him out. 

Note the use of 12 priests to mimic 12 disciples with Trump as Jesus. These vile priests know *exactly* which semiotics they're playing. They're setting Trump up as a Messiah leading the nation. This resembles Thiel-work.

The Catholic church has a very bad record of appeasing fascists. The Pope should severely discipline these people.

This behavior was a slap in the face to Pope Leo and the Church. Praying over a convicted sexual abuser and pedophile and trying to excuse it because the administration outed him is inexcusable. Is this archbishop fit for his position. I think not.

Dear Pope Leo: This ⬇️

In other words, he's sorry he got caught...praying over Trump like an evangelical and giving him an implicit endorsement. 🙄
