I'm currently writing a book about women film directors, and this is the kind of crap directors talked to me about--systemic sexism, racism, etc. We need to topple the patriarchy. We need 50/50 representation. We need to respect and celebrate women. Fuck you, Jimmy Kimmel.

Here’s part of her segment on “crazy for Cocoa Puffs” Fuentes:
Quote Tweet
Rachel #Maddow "Guys like that, neo-nazi agitators getting a big proverbial hug, a private audience with the Republican Party's likely next presidential nominee...it's great for the Nazis, right? It's a supercharging thing for their perceived legitimacy, their reach."

“Apparently, it was a very nice Thanksgiving dinner.” Nick Fuentes wants a whites only, no Jewish people America. He’s also for burning women alive. If you support TFG and the GQP who fuel this bullshit, then you’re a garbage person. #Maddow

Give Michael Imperioli an Emmy for this speech: “Because you never showed me how to love a woman. You never showed me how to be intimate. You never showed me how to put others first. You always put yourself first so I did the same thing.” #TheWhiteLotus

#ClubQ’s owners on the loss of employees Daniel Aston and Derrick Rump: “They were the heart of what #ClubQ is. They were amazing. For all the hate, there’s still so much love.” #Maddow, a queer woman, is holding back tears.

Richard Fierro is a hero. He grabbed the murderer’s handgun and pummeled him with it. And then a drag queen used her heel to stomp on him. A “good guy with a gun”—unless it’s the murderer’s gun—theory doesn’t work here. #Maddow #ClubQ

John Oliver: “The concept of chaotic clowns warbling around dangerously on unicycles felt like a pretty decent metaphor for the year we just all went through: it’s messy, idiotic, a little bit scary, & it feels like someone didn’t fully think it all through.” #LastWeekTonight

John Oliver: “None of this—the working conditions, the oppression of women or gay people—was a deal breaker for FIFA. In fact, Qatar’s authoritarian tendencies may have been a deal sweetener because FIFA has long had a soft spot for autocrats.” #LastWeekTonight #WorldCup

12 hrs after Elon finalized his Twitter deal, racial slurs spiked 500%. John Oliver: “Which is pretty shocking even for a website where a regular trending topic is sometimes just ‘The Jews.’ That happens constantly…you do not want to click why.” #LastWeekTonight

John Oliver on Col. Terence Gavaghan, who was responsible for Kenyan detention camps under Queen Elizabeth: “Don’t try to malevolently stare at the interviewer with what I can only describe as ‘war crime eyes.’” She awarded him a MBE: “Messiest bitch ever.” #LastWeekTonight

John Oliver: “My position on The Royal Family is pretty well documented. To me, they’re like a human appendix. We’ve long evolved past needing them, and it’s a compelling case for their surgical removal. But I admit I’m in the minority.” #LastWeekTonight

John Oliver: “At this point, Tucker Carlson is basically Cocomelon for bigots…One of the big clues that these conspiracy theories are bullshit is that so many of them are predicated on the belief that the Democratic party is well-organized.” #LastWeekOliver

Listen to Nick Offerman. “We’re going to do it. Not because it’s fun—because it’s not really fun—but because it’s the right thing to do, America. And guess what? We’re going to look one fuck of a lot better than you while doing it. Vote.”#LastWeekTonight

John Oliver: “The odds of Kari Lake unilaterally picking our next president are, thankfully, slim. But the odds of her and others like her being able to create a complete mess are significantly higher.” #LastWeekTonight Please don’t vote for election deniers. #voteblue

John Oliver on election denier Mark Kampf: “Wow, ‘whether it’s true or not, their perception is their reality.’ That is a risky start for a guy’s whose name is almost Mein Kampf.” #LastWeekTonight

John Oliver: “Your brain wants to focus on ‘pro-Trump America First trucker,’ but then wonders, ‘Why is he dressed like the world’s angriest Target employee?’” Don’t vote for Mike Collins. #LastWeekTonight #voteblue

Cecily Strong brilliantly used truck driving to discuss abortion. “I had to delete my app in case some dickhead in Texas thinks my period is evidence of a crime. Backing up 50 years to the past. Mothertrucking vote.” Inflation is temporary. Banning abortion is permanent. #SNL
