No words can truly describe last night’s Venice premiere of the Voice of Hind Rajab. To collectively re-live the trauma and horror of Hind’s story with a packed audience followed by chants of Free Palestine and a 24 min standing ovation at one of the most important festival platforms in the world.

New post is live on the Substack! This week, I unpacked my first foray into co-creating a radically aspirational media arts system of the future, circa 2020. theutopiastudio.substack.com/p/lets-resto...

New Substack post is up! Had something else on deck this week, then after almost 60 years of service, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced its closure after Congress laid down & let them get defunded. So this public media OG had to speak up. theutopiastudio.substack.com/p/reflection...

New post is live at TheUtopiaStudio [dot] Substack [dot] com I promised I'd share my origin story early in this journey, so here it is! Naturally, there's heavy reference to X-Men comics. I mean, I did just get back from #SDCC, so it was inevitable. Enjoy! And share/subscribe, if you dig! ❤️❤️❤️

Once more, with feeling… I launched a Substack! It’s under the banner of my production company The Utopia Studio, the post is live now, check us out and subscribe if you dig it!

Welp, looks like Paramount’s descent into fascism compliance is complete. At least they’re being more honest about it than every other legacy outlet and just ghosting everyone. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

My company, the Utopia Studio is extremely proud to be EPing “The Voice of Hind Rajab” directed by the amazing Kaouther Ben Hania, premiering at the Biennale / Venice International Film Fest!

Super excited to announce that I'm now on Substack, under the banner of my production company, The Utopia Studio at theutopiastudio.substack.com ! 🤎

Turned my kiddo onto Wesley Willis earlier this week and now they’re obsessively playing it nonstop in the car. New level of parenthood unlocked.

Oh how convenient, a picture of all the elected representatives that we need to unseat in the next election.

It's official, Superman's pro-Palestine! So awesome & should surprise literally no one. I mean he fought nazis & fascists & the klan. He's not an AIPAC shill just trying to get reelected & doing moral contortions to make genocide seem ok. He simply wants to stop the mass destruction of human life.

hey #comics friends, another creator could use some help!

I'm a part of this amazing campaign organized by @cartoonist.coop to connect Gaza! 🇵🇸 you can get yourself a half body or portrait illustration for any character you like or your OC, fully colored and inked by me with a solid color background! 🌟

Finally getting around to deleting all my data from FKA Twitter and watching it all burn like

Damn NY, this your next mayor? I’m all in! 👏🏽🎉👏🏽 youtu.be/iQVsVNPkPmE

This is... very unsettling. zeteo.com/p/its-not-ju...

Mashallah such a joy for the whole fam to see The Queen of My Dreams directed & produced by beloved homies Fawzia Mirza & Andria Wilson Mirza today on the big screen with an audience! Go see a beautiful love letter to Amis and Betis everywhere ASAP! Showtimes and tix at queenofmydreams.com 🤎🇵🇰🤎

Anyone still getting their news from @cnn.com? This is your sign to stop now. Disgusting.

Bombs 3 nuclear sites and then says “Now is the time for peace”? This is an escalation that will lead to more death. Congress must reconvene immediately to stop the President from pushing us into war.

Adieu, Annecy Intl Animation Festival! You were beautiful and inspiring at a time I really really needed it. But it’s time to go home now, we’ve got work to do. 💪🏽

It’s funny because this could TOTALLY be true.

With anti-ICE protests happening across LA and nationwide, protecting yourself from surveillance has never been more critical. Here are steps you can take to protect yourself and others before, during, and after protests. Access the full toolkit here: www.stopspying.org/protest

Journalism like this is why I am a proud paid subscriber to @zeteo.com and you should be too. 🙌🏽 to major contributor and always on point @premthakker.bsky.social too. This piece was such necessary nonstop 🔥

The NYT, WSJ, and WaPo are all headlining that Padilla "forcibly removed." Which conveniently ignores the slammed-to-the-ground part.

If you represent an org that hasn’t yet signed on to MJF’s solidarity statement, please do! ✊🏽 www.muslimsforjustfutures.org/solidarityst...

Oh look, a convenient list of fascism enablers we need to oust in the next election. #AbolishICE

If I was a democratic comms person, I would get on TV and say simply: people are in the streets because the Trump administration lied. They said they were going to deport violent criminals to make America safer, but instead they're deporting ordinary working families, making America less safe.

🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥

Hey, let's break some news! DEATH OF THE SILVER SURFER #1 has already SOLD OUT at the distributor level! Check out these new variants for the second printing! FOC for the variants is June 23, on sale July 9! First printing hits stores on Wednesday, June 11! Dontcha dare miss it!

Sitting in a hotel room across the world from home and REALLY trying not to obsess over all the news of authoritarian violence in LA, the Gaza aid flotilla and so much more but… nope. Not gonna happen. We’re in this. There’s no escaping it. Nor should there be.

2,000 National Guard members, 700 Marines, for what? Escalation, violence, and spectacle. But to legitimize a crackdown and normalize military presence on our streets.

War criminals. So many times over, we’ve all lost count.

This is what they do.

Because THAT’S WHAT THEY DO.

“Fascists are ultimately cannibals. They inevitably eat their own.” @wajali.bsky.social writes about the very public breakup of Trump and Musk, breaking down a day of petty threats and insults–tap link in bio to read and bring some popcorn!

Eid mubarak, fam! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

This. Forever this. No questions that aren’t about the blood of 300,000+ on Musk’s hands.

People of conscience should not permit this man to give an interview that isn't about the human cost of massacring USAID ever again.

Good god Guillermo del Toro, YOU are a freaking monster and I love you 😭😭😭 youtu.be/x--N03NO130

🤦🏽‍♂️ From breakneck unregulated AI development to now this, I’m so baffled. It’s like, have none of these a-holes watched even one of the literal thousands of sci-fi movies and books on the apocalyptic dangers of this shit?

Very VERY close second to the most common use of chopsticks in our house.

Idk how I missed this film when it came out in 2012, but I just caught the 4K remaster of WOLF CHILDREN directed by Mamoru Hosoda at the Alamo and goddamn! If it’s playing near you, go now! Any parent will be ugly crying with both joy and heartbreak by the end.

Hey bluesky fam, been a while! Long story short, decided to take an impromptu social media break during Ramadan & damn did I love it so much, I just kept it rolling ☺️. But I’ll have some fun news in the coming weeks so I’m starting the sloooow process of knocking the dust off this account!

#handsoff the great state of Nevada.

Congratulations, my man! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 they are lucky to have you!

This moment was everything. 🤎🤎🤎 And I hope all the studio C-suite folks trying to silence pro-Palestinian voices really let it really sink in that a majority of Academy voters put these fine folks and their voices on the largest stage in Hollywood. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C5I...
