John Oliver discusses the recent deportations by the Trump administration, the conditions in the facility people are being sent to abroad, and why even Henry Winkler could be in danger of being expelled from the U.S. Yeah, even national treasure Henry Winkler.Donald "Hoover Cleveland" Trump insisting that the photoshopped "MS-13" on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's hand is real reminds me of what I've written before, "the voices in his head are not reliable sources. Neither are the real people he listens to." All of them are advocating for "speed, volume, and spectacle" in the service of "the cruelty is the point." All of them, especially Hoover Cleveland, have gotten worse this time around. This includes going after citizens, mistakenly or not, and denying due process to those targeted for deportation. As Oliver said, this is an outrage.
Follow over the jump for a retrospective of the top posts on social media featuring Last Week Tonight with John Oliver between March 21, 2024 and March 20, 2025 that I missed in Vox asks 'RFK Jr. is in charge of vaccines. What now?' A Wayback Wednesday special.
I tweeted 'Last Week Tonight' examines food delivery apps from May 13, 2024 that same day. It earned 3 engagements, including 8 replies in 1 thread, which tied for most replies in a thread during the 2024-2025 blogging year on Twitter/X, on 19 impressions.
John Oliver examines mass deportations had 3 likes and 3 reposts, which tied for most reposts during February 2025 and second most during the blogging year on Bluesky.
For completeness, here is the post I covered in Vox asks 'RFK Jr. is in charge of vaccines. What now?' A Wayback Wednesday special.
I posted John Oliver and 'The Daily Show' on RFK Jr. on August 24, 2024. I shared the link at the Citizen Connect Facebook page then driftglass at Crooks and Liars included it in Mike's Blog Roundup on August 26, 2024. He also tweeted the link to Crooks and Liars. Among all of those, the entry earned 510 default and 511 raw page views to rank second by all measures during August 2024. It continued to gain page views until it reached 638 raw page views by March 20, 2025 to rank seventh among all entries posted during the 14th year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News and eleventh overall. The tweet by driftglass earned 1,240 Views, 3 retweets, 2 likes, and 1 reply for top mention on Twitter/X during the blogging year.That's a wrap for today's look back. Stay tuned for Throwback Thursday. In the meantime, here is Wednesday Addams, the mascot for Wayback Wednesday.
