Best art advice I ever got was from Mark Mayerson at Sheridan saying something to the effect of “if you don’t make your film about something you like to draw, you aren’t going to have much fun drawing it all year”

👀 “Article VI, Section 9, of the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature unlimited authority to set the retirement age for judges.” Virginia law provides VA Dems a simple solution to overturn the state’s rogue scotus’s redistricting ruling - retire it - and then appoint a new one.

"From where we stand now there are two ways forward: one is the self-induced downfall of the American republic; the other is to reconsider American ideals and to restructure American politics so as to bring the people greater power over a more just future." - Timothy Snyder

Now the court OVERRULES Virginia voters????? What the fuck? Are you seeing it yet?

Remember when you told us we were being hysterical the night of the election in 2016? Remember when you told us SCOTUS was gonna be fine? That they wouldnt strip away abortion rights? Remember when we told you they were coming after marginalized communities?

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

One of the biggest lies Americans believe is their vote doesn't matter because if that was really true they wouldn't be trying to stop you from doing it

Perma-mood.

If those cross-burnin' wockaflockas erase Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans and Miami, they might wanna reserve some spots in that bunker under the ballroom.

I was forced to the back of the bus. This ain't theoretical for me. I lived this shit.

Give me a candidate whose pitch is "The government should be run like a government."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
