I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Ok...fuck Keitel and Trejo, and the kid actor from E.T. as well.

Mmmm...think I'll just be by myself for a little while.

I have a college grad son and a daughter currently in college. I told both of them & their friends this: If you’re assaulted on campus, tell the school, but also go to the local police. It’s a criminal matter. The school’s main mission is to protect its own interests. You need to protect yours.

Never forget that Frank Oz believes the stress of dealing with Disney's initial, relentless attempts to buy his creations is what killed Jim Henson. "The Disney deal is probably what killed Jim. It made him sick," he told The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/culture/2021...

This Day in Labor History: September 17, 2011. A group of activists started protesting in Zucotti Park in Lower Manhattan.

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Crikey. “If I’m paying for your wedding, at some point, you’re going to owe me something,” said Frank Montoya Jr., a retired FBI official who held senior counterintelligence roles. “This should be unthinkable for the son of the president. End of story.”

From September 2001: The time for mourning has been callously shortened by the Bush administration’s hasty call for war. We now have precious little time left to ask the question that should have been asked long ago – Why is the U.S. hated so?

Journalists all across the PNW laid off by McClatchy today, a damn bloodbath. Some are people I’ve worked with, some are calling me crying because their mentors no longer have jobs. Journalism is so needed. Cutting investigative reporters, city reporters… Idaho & Washington will be worse off.

This Day in Labor History: September 4, 1970. Salvador Allende won election as president of Chile, a moment of victory for the idea of a democratic socialist revolution, one that right-wing nations such as the United States would never let succeed. Let's talk the workers movement for Allende!

knowing what the Supreme Court is doing and how the Court really works is a pre-req for holding the Court accountable John Roberts literally wants justices to take that knowledge to their graves so that he can bury the prospect of accountability along with them ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

Utterly heartbreaking and pointless, and utterly infuriating that so many of my fellow citizens voted for this shit. We were warned. Great reporting by Gwen Howerton.

[GHOSTBUSTERS] Murray has a genuine outré gift: he makes you feel that his characters are bums inside—unconcerned and indifferent—and he makes that seem like a kind of grace. (He’s always an onlooker; he won’t commit himself even to being in the movie.) (1984)
