Focus stolen away from covering the repertory film scene in NYC by this fascist takeover attempt in progress. Still occasionally comment on classic film.
Trump made some statements about the riot on January 6th the other day. I thought I would pair it with some footage from the event he claimed was full of love. Over 140 law enforcement officers were injured that day some with life altering injuries. Several committed suicide.
AOC: When people see a ballroom and, at the same time, see their health insurance getting cut off, they know that they are paying for that ballroom with no health care, higher grocery prices, and increasingly unaffordable housing.
And so I think people are pissed off about it, and they should be. It’s wrong. This is a complete theft of our money. This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom, or to renovate the Kennedy Center, or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for—paying for things that actually benefit you: better roads, health care, and more affordable groceries.
In MAGA world you are a " son of a bitch " if you are a black athlete crossing your arms
BUT
A patriot and hostage if you beat a cop almost to death.
This is the MAGA movement. PERIOD
BREAKING: Donald Trump calls JB Pritzker a “dumb, stupid slob.”
Just a reminder that JB Pritzker just balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.
Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

Nothing would be funnier than watching Hunter Biden duke it out on the 2028 debate stage lol. They’d be like “BUT YOU USED TO BE AN ADDICT,” and he’d say “YEAH, TAKE ANOTHER CRACK WITH BIDEN!” LOLLL!
In the last few days, Trump has said he had a great phone call with Hezbollah and would be honored to meet Khamenei. I’m trying to imagine the reaction from the right if Obama or Biden had said either of these things.
Oh the double standards!
Hasan Piker: “All of these Fox News guys are like I can’t believe this is what Graham Platner was doing. Pete Hegseth was literally your co-worker and was a notorious drunk rapist. I feel like I’m losing my mind, the standards are so out of wack. We just never look at Republicans. They can do whatever the fuck they want. They can literally murder, cheat, steal, rape”

I jokingly said a few weeks ago that he will try to put a statue of himself in a chair next to Lincoln. It wouldn’t surprise me if he actually tries to do that.
