Disney deleted a Thread because people kept putting anti-fascist quotes from its movies in the replies

is the Verge’s weekend editor. He has over 18 years of experience, including 10 years as managing editor at Engadget. The throughline between all the quotes: they were pretty pointedly anti-fascist and clearly aimed at the current administration. Apparently, Disney either couldn’t handle the anti-fascist messaging of its own movies or was too afraid of pissing off the powers that be, because it quickly deleted the post. Thankfully, one resourceful Threads user recorded it for posterity, reminding us that yes, the human world is, in fact, a mess. 🖊️️🤖

ICE Accidentally Sends Maduro Back to Venezuela

WASHINGTON — In a stunning instance of miscommunication between departments, ICE agents have deported Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro back to Venezuela just hours after he was abducted by the DEA. “ICE is simply doing its job and keeping America safe from world leaders,” said a defensive Kristi Noem. “I don’t know how the liberal media is trying to spin this, but Maduro is a bad hombre. He is a dangerous man, has known ties to drug cartels, and has absolutely no legal right to be captured in the United States. Adios, buster!”The move has been met with strong criticism from the rest of Trump’s cabinet, most vocally from RFK Jr., who reportedly had high hopes that Maduro could “Hook it up with some Molly.”This is a breaking story, and we’ll have more as it develops. 🖊️️🤖

Fox host Jesse Watters whines about Donald Trump giving jobs to all Fox hosts except him

Fox News host Jesse Watters is apparently feeling left out. “Fox News alert, Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo have just been named by Donald Trump to be on the board of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C,” Watters said. Just putting it out there, as long as people are getting things.”Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more. Trump has indeed been rewarding Fox News hosts for their loyalty by giving them roles in his administration – whether or not they have the right experience. “When a straight, blonde female is singing at the inauguration, I think we’re back,” Watters said at the time. 🖊️️🤖
