The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

Reading Rainbow emphasis is encouraging kids to read. The focus is not on teaching them to read. The mission is reading should be fun! We are all readers, worthy of literacy. LeVar Burton said “but you don’t have to take my word for it” because he wanted us to look to the books. That’s the beauty 💚

Reading Rainbow… is back! 🥹 This LeVar Burton/Reading Rainbow raised human is feeling all of the library joy. We hope your kids believe they belong in books, just like you ✨ Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋🌌 youtu.be/gHAIjSkmnYI?...

Six stage Korean musicals are coming to Disney+ and it's a big deal because musical theater is huge in Korea but invisible to the international kdrama fans. I'm sure most fans don't know that their faves act on stage. For example, stars Kyuhyun of Super Junior appears in Phantom.

I hope Waldo and Carmen Sandiego are happy together wherever they are

Jubilee pitch: “Julius Caesar vs 20 Roman Senators”

my response to every situation

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees: ✔️ due process for all ✔️ birthright citizenship ✔️ equal protection under the law Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

‘Combined Classics’ - my cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Little boys. 💕 Postcard from my collection, unsent, 1902.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

“Hank, why are you spending so much time defending the freaking /minecraft movie?/“ Actually, I’m not defending anything, I am attacking the practice of dumping buckets of jaded misery on moments of goofy joy and I will absolutely die on that hill.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

The power of on-screen representation 😻🐈‍⬛

Been reading a little mythology and it seems like one of the main cross-cultural themes is, “do not, under any circumstances, get on a boat.”

Oh, so you're going to diminish, go into the West, and remain Galadriel? Must be nice to have a retirement plan

We simply cannot allow our increasing comfort with the word “butt” obviate our need for adorable, polite regional synonyms! We have to fight for “heinie”! Protect “tush” at all costs!! Don’t let “derrière” slip away into the cold, dark night…

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

I’m going on record: Life first happened when an RNA fucked a metabolism.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Dear Manager, 1. I drank a whiskey drink. 2. I drank a vodka drink. 3. I drank a lager drink. 4. I drank a cider drink. 5. I sang the songs that remind me of the good times; I sang the songs that remind me of the better times.

On the days I am about to give up, this Gwendolyn Brooks poem gives me an anchor.

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Women want me. Fish fear me. Fish want me. Women fear me. Women are fish, fish are fish. Phylogenetically, all vertebrates are fish.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Now more than ever.

Thank you, Canada!
