Why is Winsome Earle-Sears That's it, that's the question; why is she

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure. Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

very much hoping @netflix.com doesn't capitulate to right-wing anti-LGBTQ+ pressure. if they were to cave, I will cancel my subscription immediately

Excellent piece from @erininthemorning.com. Destruction of the arts is classic fash behavior. Let us hope Netflix has the courage to hold.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters. If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire. Subscribe to support our journalism.

…I theorize that Lubba from Super Mario Galaxy 2 might be Genderfluid

Now pushing no Tylenol for kids. My two small kids recently spiked three fevers in two weeks (Covid, virus, virus). You want me to make them stay up all night sweating and keening rather than give them one safe chewable, drop their temp, and let them go to sleep? You are an actual monster.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Unfortunately

So Jimmy Kimmel gets canceled for acknowledging that the killer was on the Right and Trump didn't care that Kirk was killed but anchors on Fox News can say "Nazi please!" And "what up my Nazi?" Okay.

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

Trans rights are human rights.

Hiding the truth.

excuse me, Bluesky? why was Ms. Ali Nahdee suspended? 🤨 could it be because she dared to say a nazi shouldn't be lionized? how dare an Indigenous woman say anything against you, i suppose. this is so nakedly disgusting. @safety.bsky.app -M

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

They do it every time. Hell, they do it even when the shooter ISN’T trans -spread misinformation they were trans to vilify us. I know it’s worth saying that all trans people are not to blame for the horrific actions of one, but they’re just looking to justify their predetermined hate at every turn.

B**** is a female-targeting slur; we as men shouldn't say the word There, I said it

💐 These are the flowers Amber was sent from the Open Letter team (purple) & the ones that were sent along with the website messsges (orange) with the donations we collected. (The florist sent me this photo of the fan flowers before they were delivered) 💐 She tagged me 🥹

GUYS EVEN THOUGH PBS AND NPR RESCISSION PACKAGE PASSED, YOU GUYS CAN STILL DONATE, SUPPORT, AND GET THE PBS PASSPORT! I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY, BUT YOU GUYS DO OR DON'T! SO DONATE YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC MEDIA AT ALL COST! www.npr.org/donations/su... help.pbs.org/support/solu...

It is surreal the extent to which Tim Pool treats his audience as caveman-level stupid.

When you’re definitely not guilty.

The thing about the Diddy verdict and the budget bill is that you can and should take both of them seriously. Powerful men getting away with violence isn’t a distraction from Trump and his administration. It’s the same thing powered by the same rhetoric and logic of abuse

YouTuber Ethan Klein says he is suing a man for copyright infringement because I called him (Ethan Klein) a misogynist—unless I apologize. The only problem is that I did not call him a misogynist. He does not accept. This is one of the most popular podcasters on YouTube!

Sounds like he's hoping that the anti-SOSHALIST MOOSLEM backlash will have picked up enough steam to give him a second shot at it. Let us pray that he is wrong

Mic drop.

If they weren’t stuck in their Nazi echo chamber on Twitter, and were in the real world like on Bluesky with normal people who have real jobs and families, they would have seen this coming. The political snd media elite must face a big reckoning and ask why they’re so out of touch with real America.

FUCK ISLAMOPHOBIA ALL MY HOMIES HATE ISLAMOPHOBIA

*HASSETT SAYS TRADE DEALS COMING AFTER TAX BILL PASSES: POLITICO Why....that's in two weeks!

Can't wait for Jake Tapper's deep reporting on how a decrepit old president completely hallucinated a ceasefire.

Why Zohran Won the NYC Primary

I guess you could say the people who thought Andrew Cuomo ran a better campaign than Zohran Mamdani were sequestered in echo chambers and out of touch with what people offline wanted out of a candidate

Zohran Mamdani has waged a surprisingly strong campaign for mayor of New York City. Can the movement he created overcome Andrew Cuomo’s power?

Johnny Depp is still post separation abusing his bisexual ex wife, btw. he just randomly gave an interview about his divorce right before Amber announces something?? Hope shes exactly as unbothered as she looks here, but i am unfortunately not.

sometimes I learn the actual facts behind some online discourse and I feel like I live in a totally different reality from every single person on the internet. like what do you mean??? How did you reach those conclusions from this set of facts? Did I fall through a portal of some kind? Could I??

The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible

I remember 2003. My English teacher had us all make personal book binders for our journals. Mine was covered in anti war decals criticizing Bush. I got called in to the office and lectured by my principal about how Sadam was a terrorist and told I was a terrorist sympathizer and got detention.

You see it would have been bad if Kamala bombed people and started a war, womanly, but since Trump is a man, that’s very tough and impressive of him

My father died from mesothelioma, a cancer from asbestos.

So, no more vaccines or food inspections, but extra asbestos? Do I have this right?

Make Asbestos Great Again

MAGA: Make Asbestos Great Again

So much for MAHA.

The smears against Zohran coming from the Democratic establishment are also a sign of fear—they’re more scared of the party becoming progressive than they are of the country already being fascist. If Zohran wins, it signals a reckoning. If Cuomo wins, they can keep the failing status quo intact.

When people support Andrew Cuomo, what they’re saying implicitly is that they don’t care about the women he’s already sexually harassed and retaliated against and they won’t care if he does it again. It’s a political stance that enables discrimination against women in government

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.
