Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

As someone who grew up in Alabama— THIS is the problem.

We are sensing a pattern

“Supporting abortion past the birth” is peak stupidity.

Insane! #Pinks #USDemocracy

This is how he answers a reporter.

The entirely predictable and exhaustively predicted happened. Great work by ProPublica for documenting this outrageous situation.

RICK RUBIN on why Hollywood keeps making soulless movies: "So many big movies are just not good because they're being made by people trying to make something they think someone else is going to like. That's not how art works. That's commerce."

Worth a listen. “If I was gonna stage a coup in 2028…”

Just posting this because, as of yesterday, the US national debt surpassed $40 trillion for the first time. The GOP: the party of fiscal responsibility. 🥴

We’ll never know exactly how our nation or the people around us would be different had this venom never been allowed into our systems, but it would have been a hell of a lot more compassionate, loving, and equitable. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fox-news-p...

Nothing to see here: Just 292,150+ people warning about Trump Admin’s new federal rule to strip grant funding power away from experts, scientists and unbiased arbiters Instead granting power over federal grants to Trump appointees Enormous issue Comment deadline is today

💯💯💯

John Oliver on the Supreme Court: "It was a 6-3 decision in the case of White People vs. Everybody — and you’ll never guess who they ruled in favor of”

Bravo to this dude for pulling this together in just a couple of hours. Interesting stuff.

JOURNALIST: “Mr. President, do you regret all the lying you’ve done to the American people?” TRUMP: “😳🦗🤐” Every credentialed “journalist” with access to these briefings should be asking real questions like this one. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎💙😎

People asked how we got here, check out the drawing...

As do I

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

I'm sure there are countries that have betrayed every principle they ever stood for faster than the United States but it's hard to think of one right now

The 25th Amendment exists for a reason.

This man needs more attention. He’s talking like someone ready to run the state. Focused on actual solutions for California while the federal government fumbled the basics. Pay attention to Xavier Becerra.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

This planet — with all its troubles — is worth caring for. That should be our single purpose, as a species: To be stewards of this magnificent world, ensuring it thrives long into the future.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

“.. Ten years ago today, Donald Trump said he would pay off the national debt in the span of just eight years.” @reason.com reason.com/2026/03/31/1...

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

Hello?

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Well when you put it THAT way.

Nailed it

The Colbert interview Paramount, Ellison, Trump & GOP don't want you to see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

Wow.

There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations. The establishment wants us to not focus on this.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Boom: Now 111 cosponsors in the House and 30k letters sent to Congress for impeaching Noem in a week is something special. But we aren’t even close to the finish line, so let’s keep pushing!

Gov. Newsom at Davos rips into world leaders who think they can appease Trump: “I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.…this is pathetic”

A French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Marine Le Pen's trial for embezzlement — something they've done to other judges around the world

NEWS: The U.S. Department of Justice has formally moved to block the appointment of an independent monitor or special master to oversee the release of Epstein-related records

BREAKING: Massive anti-U.S., pro-Greenland protests have erupted in Copenhagen Let that sink in, one of America’s closest allies is publicly protesting out of fear we might invade their territory So much for the claim that “the world respects the U.S. under Trump.” The reality? It’s the opposite.
