If you leave me alone in a room with a whiteboard and a dry erase marker for 5 minutes, this is what will probably happen.

This is so important. We will never have a good economy for workers when our government is made up of people who don’t even know the price of a loaf of bread.
Replying to @AngieNixon
@angienixon: We need to start electing people who have experienced what it's like to struggle, who have experienced what it's like to be just an everyday person. This is a multi-racial working-class electorate. The elected officials, the lawmakers, need to reflect that.
Now it is official.

Joe Rogan: Why are you a Democrat?
@JamesTalarico: My mother met my birth father, who had a drinking problem that sometimes led to being violent. My mom decided right then and there that she was leaving. She found a little apartment in East Austin and worked double duty at a hotel to provide for us. She saw Texas Democrats like Ann Richards, people who fought for the little guy. That was the classic Democratic Party. I asked my mom what we were, and she was like, ‘We're Democrats, because Democrats fight for the people.’ Our historical legacy is the party that fights for the little guy. That's why I'm a Democrat.

ICE shot Wilber Perez in the back.
Now, Wilber can’t move the left side of his body.
How does paralyzing a DoorDash driver make anyone more safe?
"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."

Exciting news! My partner is working on releasing her first album under her performer name, "Arabian Leila." This collection of 12 original songs is deeply personal - exploring trauma, recovery, dissociation, and the long journey of finding herself again.

Mark Ruffalo is being defended by more than 170 Jewish entertainment figures in a new open letter rejecting Paramount's claim that Ruffalo fueled “antisemitic tropes”:
“The time is over for spurious charges of antisemitism to be trotted out, this time in the defense of war, oligarchy, and AI domination. That tired playbook has run its course. We stand proudly with Mark Ruffalo, and with all decent people who are bravely rising and speaking truth to power.”
Supporters include Hannah Einbinder, Joel Coen, Todd Haynes, Ilana Glazer, Tony Kushner, Emma Seligman, Jane Schoenbrun and Wallace Shawn.
The letter follows a heated week in which Ruffalo has been at the center of a growing confrontation over the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger. In a social media post on Aug. 21, the Marvel star attacked the deal over its potential consequences for Hollywood and accused the Ellison family of being complicit in the “genocide” against Palestinians, which he said “was built on an apartheid system of oppression powered by Oracle.” In the post, he highlighted Oracle’s ties to the Israeli military.
“Pointing out the crucial connections between what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in Hollywood is the exact opposite of antisemitism. It is, for us, the very essence of Jewish ethical duty," reads the open letter defending Ruffalo. "According to a recent Washington Post poll, 61% of American Jews now agree that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza; and four in ten even agree that these crimes amount to genocide. Do those attacking Mark Ruffalo as an antisemite seriously believe that all these American Jews are antisemites too? Or that we don’t see the connection between, on the one hand, the criminal impunities that have led the US and Israel into unending disaster and, on the other, the oligarchic powerplays of the Musks, Ellisons, Thiels and others who are working to dismantle our democracy?”

Trump's DOGE thought mass firings at the IRS would make the government more efficient, but it backfired.
And now, taxpayers are facing huge delays in getting their tax returns. What a mess.

I never thought I would see in my lifetime two Jewish people on @TheDailyShow talk about David becoming Goliath in the context of Israel's genocide. Bravo @PeterBeinart #JohnStewart

Dear @cspan. I am the Jen Gerson whose column you challenged noted American Crypt Keeper @RealPNavarro with yesterday. Your host failed to correct several key falsehoods and I would like the situation remedied.
1) I am not "The Problem." Henceforce, I prefer to be referred to by my proper pronoun "The Whole Ass Problem."
2) I am not an Ontario Liberal. I am a Feral Albertan. This is an entirely different subspecies of Canadian, and the conflation is deeply offensive to me.
3) I have spent years of my career arguing in favour of increased Canadian military spending, against supply management, and in opposition to my country's self-destructive digital laws and policies. Tales From The Crypt over here has my ideological commitments entirely ass-backwards.
4) Like most Canadians who haven't lost their minds, I'm simply capable of understanding that this trade war has nothing to do with delayed pistol procurement, disputes over dual-use infrastructure, or the price of eggs on Tuesday.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sailor Joshua Aviles was aboard the U.S.S. Lincoln for nine months serving our country when he found out ICE detained his father.
Trump has displayed zero regard for families, communities and troops. He must end his war with Iran and mass deportation machine.
"This is heartbreaking for me."
U.S. Navy sailor Joshua Aviles said he learned his father was arrested by federal immigration officials while on his ninth month aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier that has been at the center of reports of mental health challenges and subpar conditions faced by service members.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Luis Manuel Aviles Roa, a native of Nicaragua, was arrested by Border Patrol during a traffic stop in Key West, Florida, on Saturday, saying he entered the U.S. illegally. The department said Aviles remained in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, facing deportation proceedings. @camiloreports has more.
