Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Our ferals have left us an offering for the first time, which can only mean that an overdue shift in the universe nears, and that soon we will all be blessed with The Ultimate Offering, and he dies.
The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

the vast majority of people just want to live their damn lives.
really, this is the narrative for any real opposition party. Not revolution for its own sake. "We ALL just want to live our damn lives. These people are so broken they can't get off unless they're preventing that. So, we fight."
I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.
“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”
You'd better mean it, so help me god.
Let’s be clear: anyone defending the Trump Administration after watching masked, anonymous agents assault a man, pepper spray him, then fire 5+ rounds into his back is irretrievably complicit in political terrorism.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency that this state is exhibiting and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional absolute abomination that is passing for what these ICE agents are doing on these streets."
BREAKING: Whistleblower disclosures reveal a formal ICE policy to ignore the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.
Welcome to being a woman.
Duh, the rapist president is the actual pig. True yesterday, true today, true for ever and ever, amen.
PLZ DO NOT DEBUNK THIS 🤧
Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.
THIS IS AMAZING. ALSO WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID WE FORGET TO RUIN?
And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.
May all terrible people be sad tonight.
Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too
Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
