Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

New court filings show the NYPD is attempting to backslide on legal commitments it made to stop arresting journalists who are reporting on police actions.

@joellemonique.bsky.social discussion on The Force and #Andor during this episode was spot on. As always, the whole crew delivered the most entertaining, most insightful discussion of the week for me. open.spotify.com/episode/6LDd...

We had @rosiemarx.bsky.social and @joellemonique.bsky.social on episode 1853 ‘Vladimir, STAAHP! Oscar Voters Getting SCREWED’ - listen now! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... @milesofgray.bsky.social @jackob1.bsky.social

The bodies of more than a dozen aid workers have been recovered in southern Gaza from what a United Nations agency described as a "mass grave," a week after they went missing following attacks by Israeli forces.

None of the Emilia Pérez Winners Mentioned the Trans Community Onstage at the Oscars: Amid a barrage of anti-trans political attacks, the makers of the "sex change musical" didn’t even use the word “trans.” www.them.us/story/emilia...

Hello! I’m creating a workplace comedy about a struggling comic book shop aaaand we had our first table read! Ofc we documented! See the full video on YT (🔗⬇️) #TheComicShopSeries youtu.be/4K9gIqLctBo?...

BREAKING: Federal judge issues preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of parts of two of Trump’s anti-trans executive orders (orders defining “sex” and restricting gender-affirming medical care) in Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, and Oregon. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-tran...

The men said they were denied calls to loved ones, subjected to humiliating searches and left in isolation for prolonged periods.

Huge thanks to @joellemonique.bsky.social for giving The One Recipe a shoutout on @npr.org's Pop Culture Happy Hour!

“We are assured that Hitler will stop at the Sudetenland.”

one of the reasons i wrote this piece is to get away from the gauzy mythology of the civil rights movement "spontaneous mass resistance" "rosa parks was just tired". no. the movement remains a masterclass in the tactics--and the *strategy*--of resistance.

That Lilo and Stitch spot was very effective marketing. Omg.

I worked at the Laemmle in Santa Monica during college and it was one of my favorite jobs ever. Bob would occasionally come by and was always so friendly and helpful when we had issues at the theatre. This is so sad ❤️

Don't ever use AI, even (and especially) as a joke to show how AI is terrible.

I think it also should be mentioned that the person who really got this going was Rick Caruso, the West Coast Trump/developer who Bass kicked the ass of in the election, and who falsely spread conspiracy theories about fire hydrants in the same radio interview.

Anyway, Christina Sharpe wrote that “the Internet allows for the consensual as well as the nonconsensual acting out of racialized fantasies” in “Racialized Fantasies on the Internet” back in 1999 (!!!) and here we are with actual profile interactive AI blacks in 2025.

They find this every year… They do not care In fact many of them are basically trying to find ways to make those folks work for free We’re all on that kind of that place right now

um

Lorraine O'Grady lifted me up with her intellect, her wit, her nerve. This assignment came at a point in my life when I needed it and didn't even know. She was a blessing. I am saddened to know Lorraine has passed, and I am endlessly grateful to her. She lit flames that will never go out. 🖤

Nancy Mace's former comms director: "her prop of a sling is a pathetic ploy for attention." 👀

“‘…Nancy Mace came to a national foster youth event, told participating youth that it was a safe space—and literally had one of them arrested by Capital police for simply shaking her hand and asking about trans rights,’ said Lisa Dickson, a veteran advocate for foster youth from Ohio…”

As in Tennessee, this ban does not apply to cis children, because the drugs themselves are not a safety hazard. The only thing at risk is a society’s discomfort with allowing young people to make their own decisions about their own bodies.

i spent a month investigating how republicans could cut off access to trans healthcare for most americans, and how democrats can likely stop them — but it’s unclear if they will. tw: president of wpath warning of mass suicides www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Neel is perfect and must be protected at all times.

Watching that CBS Sunday Morning clip about Mississippi doing its ultimate best to erase the history/tragedy of Emmett Till, inspired me to rewatch #TheWatchmen on HBO. Remember when people watched the series and had NO IDEA about the Tulsa Race Massacre? Or Bass Reeves? E106 was a masterpiece.

The federal trial of Kansas police detective Roger Golubski, accused of sexually assaulting Black women & girls in poor neighborhoods and terrorizing those who fought back, is set to begin this week

this not only has a Motion City Soundtrack needledrop but got them to debut a new track, so I gotta be in its corner

Seems like people wanna talk about all the locked-up stuff at chain pharmacies and big box stores today. Here’s a gift link to a feature I published a few months ago about why retailers started putting so much stuff behind plexiglass and how badly it’s backfired. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Whoa! I woke up and we jumped to 40% LETS GOOO! Almost at 600 backers too! Let’s keep it up!! 🥹💪🏾 #TheComicShopSeries www.kickstarter.com/projects/che...

She’s been honery all morning and now she’s demanding cuddles. I fear she’s turning into me.

The Democrats spent months telling people that the other guy is an authoritarian dictator who will end democracy and they have said nothing about how to stop him now that he has won the election “Leadership”

EVERY. WORD. OF. THIS.

I just feel like brands who have been rolling back DEI policies shouldn’t be so quick to hop on these MUSTAAAARD trends-

Reminder that Mike DeWine did ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING after a gunman with a high-capacity rifle and a 100-round drum magazine killed nine people in Dayton.

time to begin year one of making THE HOLDOVERS an annual thanksgiving movie tradition

Trump lied about this in every speech and the NYT WaPo CNN and dozens of mainstream political pundits let him. Support the independent news outlets in @laminda.bsky.social's starter pack.

The songs in Moana 2 are terrible. I wrote about what Lin-Manuel Miranda brought to Disney, and what we’ve lost without him.

Only parts of GNX I don’t like are the muted vocals. I’m sure whatever he said is egregious but I really want to know 😂

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵
