The disrespect of publicly cheating on her — fooling around with his gf in a bar — when he is hardly an anonymous figure in Seattle

Or he was less likely to just dump her. Now he has the best of both worlds (from his viewpoint)

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Trump continues to light diplomatic capital on fire. My thread on this: bsky.app/profile/prof...

It seems like the husband and the goth gf are using her.

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

I saw this from an earlier post and I had to share.

Also Massie seems to have consistent principles even if you disagree with those principles. Fetterman’s only principle is being an asshole and being a bigoted bag of dogshit.

Not "terrorists," not "radicals," not even "Islamists." "Iranians." In case anyone was confused about who the enemy is

Jesse Jackson never stopped fighting for America, in times of darkness he turned to hope and embodied the light.

It’s probably too late for this.

But it would be beyond meaningful to see my dad recognized at the “In Memoriam” part of the Oscars.

He died in June.
He worked for decades in the movie business, marketing movies. Big movies. Like Star Wars.

I can’t express how much it would have meant to him.

I know who he thinks is impressed by this but you know who isn't? Everyone else

"The Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself!" -- Trump is now working himself up into a frothing rage

I cannot support the confirmation of Senator Mullin to Trump’s out-of-control DHS. We must all take a stand.

Shouldn't *Mills* be mentioning it? I assume a Democratic primary electorate is more anti-Nazi than one that will include Trump-voting Republicans.

CNN's Dana Bash: "I asked Trump about rising gas prices. He said, 'That's alright. It'll be short term. It'll go way down very quickly.' I said, 'They're pretty high now.' He said, 'No they're not.'"

Poll: A majority of Americans opposes U.S. military action in Iran Most Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of Iran, and a majority sees Iran as either only a minor threat or no threat at all, an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds.

"Just 36% approve of how Trump is handling Iran, and a majority (55%) thinks Iran either represents a minor threat or no threat at all to the United States." www.npr.org/2026/03/06/n...

At this point, Massie likely has higher approval among Democrats than Fetterman.

Yes, I know Fetterman votes in line with Democrats 90 percent of the time and Massie is a hardline Republican, but he's demonstrating far more willingness to confront Trump than Fetterman has.

i hate when liberals pull shit like that. i know part of it is because its a sensitive topic for me but you'd think we would have less credentialism when the two worst presidents of the last 50 years went to fucking yale and wharton.

And the party that was opposed to masks in COVID now defends masks for ICE.

Wow, that is a little bit funny, what an incisive and smart observation you've made about the foibles of mankind

Agreed. It remains perhaps my favorite Tarantino film(s).

The two dimensionality of Kill Bill characters does hurt the fact that he at least tried to centralize female characters more. It’s still a good Sonny Chiba meets Shaw Bros meets Spaghetti Western though.

As someone who phone banked during that race I love being blamed for revisionist history bc Lamb’s record was not great (he realized his fuckups later but come on lmao)

Women don't exist in Reservoir Dogs and women exist primarily in "the male gaze" in Pulp Fiction. Jackie Brown, a year before Out of Sight (and existing in the same universe!), was a welcome change.

Great read.

I remember seeing this movie in a New York theater with a friend who ADORED Clooney. It really was the perfect combination of "heist film for Tarantino bros" but also an enjoyable ride for women in ways that Tarantino films often weren't.

Totally forgot that Kenyatta was in that primary. He would’ve been a good choice too.
