Aimée

I've had such a great day. Aqua aerobics was a blast this morning. My sister and I got coffees at As Kneaded. Then we crafted for hours while watching the France-Morocco match. France is who I hope to win the whole thing, although I'm not that fused. I like England too. If Norway wins, cool. Sigh

Accidental Friends

This one hits hard.

There are no words that can express the plethora of feelings I have about what our government is doing in Minnesota and elsewhere. There's no one coming to help us. The rapture isn't nigh. We have to solve this ourselves somehow and it's not going to be easy or without pain.

Winner of the week: the food lobbyists for “one other thing.”

This is my friend Matt's Emmy from 2011 which I now proudly accept. Thank you all for this great honor.

The American Catholic Church finally on the right side of history.

I want to burn it all down. This country is a damn mess and people are getting hurt for no good reason. "It's always been thus". Cool. We can do better.

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor. I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

Mark Benioff can suck a brick dick

No Kings protest updates: Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee held a photo of a crown with an X through it as she stepped to the podium. “We believe in the promise of America — not as a monarchy, not as a dictatorship, but as a democracy for and by the people.”

When the Birmingham, Alabama, march is packed, you know something is up in America!

Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs. Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

Still mad at ABC and CBS for acquiescing to his pressure He’s going to intimidate literally the entire free press Without the fourth estate we cannot maintain a democracy

Political violence is disgusting. However I will not be praying for Kirk. He will heal or he won't. I have about as much compassion for him as he has for children shot in schools, which is none

RFK Jr. Mandates All Americans Drink Mysterious Glowing Liquid

The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip. For the first time in its 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

Wow

Thank you to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for showing up and taking a stand this weekend. We loved the signs, so many of them made us laugh. This weekend showed that the resistance is growing and that we have friends everywhere! Scotland the Brave!

Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.

It’s a cover up.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: “80% of Californians pay about average taxes. 40% of Californians pay lower taxes than they do in Texas and Florida. Texas and Florida tax their lowest wage earners more than we do our highest wage earners. So who’s the high tax state? Is it California or is it Texas?”

NPR's chief executive, Katherine Maher, calls tonight's vote "unwarranted dismantling of beloved local civic institutions." Her statement:

I think it's time to watch V for Vendetta again. The firing of Colbert reminded me of the Stephen Fry character's demise when he dared to mock 'dear leader'. In the end, he was part of the domino effect that brought the regime down. You can't silence the truth forever. It always sees the light.

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

A California bill to bar law enforcement agents from wearing masks to conceal their identities was passed by a key legislative committee Tuesday. Senate Bill 627 prohibits law enforcement at all levels from engaging in extreme masking to conceal their identity. www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/b...

Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the Epstein files that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
