Merry Christmas 🎄 I Hope your holidays are spent however you like and makes you happy. Families come in many different ways, as do celebrations 🎄❤️

When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

I cannot even process this. That poor family. He was a marvel. So many of his movies I adore, but always The Princess Bride. Thank you, Mr Reiner. Rest in Peace.

It is a shame that Brazil’s judges are so activist that none of them stepped in to change the laws for Jair Bolsonaro. by John Roberts (joined by Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh)

I refuse to believe politicians are forgetting how rancid MTG is. Sure we can have a big tent but we do not need to welcome someone like her. Please everyone get a fucking hold of yourselves.

My favourite. Saw it in the theatres and it aged even better.

As long as NYT is asking “Did women ruin the workplace” can they also ask: •Did men ruin safe workplaces? •Did men ruin domestic safety? •Did men ruin public safety? •Did men ruin global peace? Or is a clear “YES” to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to accept—so NYT avoids it?🤔

SO GOOD During the first lockdown we rewatched all these original Godzilla on YouTube. Highly recommend.

The Republican party has embraced full-on fascism while the Democratic party has staked out a position on immigration that is slightly different from mine. I have never felt more politically homeless.

As the lights continue to dim on our Democracy, I just want to go on record that I have always believed that everyone deserves quality universal health coverage whatever it’s called. No one should ever have to worry about going to the doctor and putting food on the table. No one. It’s a human right.

Just rewatched again last weekend. It never disappoints.

😢💔

#NoKings Miami!

John Roberts: Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it. Brett Kavanaugh: Totes. *immigrants being profiled by ICE enter the chat* Roberts Court: Yeah but I didn't mean like that. The cops can definitely still arrest you because you're brown. Kav: *chugs beer in agreement*

I STILL have them memorized. Can’t remember what I had for breakfast tho.

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

The standard, even after decades.

The agony of group work. No one wanted to do the work. I did it myself. Got in trouble for not working as a “team”. WTF

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 💚

And with no pushback from democrats, this is the exact okay that will be used in 2026 midterms. Just don’t allow any elected democrats to even open an office.

‘thats not autism, thats just a normal human trait.’ Me: cheers for pointing out autistic people are also human. I do things that "normal" humans do aswell, however far more intensely or less to the point where it impacts my day to day life which may lead to burnout or meltdowns. What about you?!

I said what I said.

Marches right alongside “we deserve better”

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up. At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT? WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

It's all fun and games until they suddenly decide that your Autistic traits are just something you wear to be awkward and annoying and now they need to get rid of you. Sigh. Don't worry, I'm good at leaving.

Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed. But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I had a judge presiding over one of my cases ask me if I had been a defendant in one of his cases because he recognized me. I was like nope. I'm counsel. I was dressed impeccably in a vintage Calvin Klein suit that I'd paid way too much money for. It happened in 2005ish and I still think about it.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

white Americans be like “violence isn’t the answer” as if violence isn’t the only reason they’ve been afforded the privileges they’ve enjoyed in this country for literal centuries bsffr

I have a theory that white folks think watching ICE run around like bumbling buffoons is entertainment. A little slapstick comedy if you will. These are the same folks who packed a lunch and brought the family out for slave auctions and public hangings. They do NOT care.

Lol I’ve followed DCC for years, before Netflix there was a show called “making the team” The women are indeed committed. Way too many of the are also hard core MAGA.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

REMEMBER: Schoolhouse Rock taught us it was 250+ yrs we decided that we wanted NO MORE KINGS. THIS IS STILL TRUE FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTRY, EXCEPT THE ONES THAT NEED TO JUSTIFY THEIR HATRED OF THE POOR, SICK AND FEAR OF IMMIGRANTS & EXTEND THEIR WEALTH & POWER. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R1t...

This is your daily reminder that climate change is real, Tylenol is safe, God doesn’t love Christian Americans more than anyone else and science deals in facts not falsehoods. ✌🏻

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback. When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

If you have to ask

The irony is, "woke" was a term specifically from Black people/culture, which was then appropriated and weaponized to target anything related to race/social justice... Woke = Black The "Black Right"? Do I have this straight?

They are coming for my LGBTQ+ community. I WILL NOT STAY SILENT.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Obama getting off the sidelines is a recognition that all past norms have been destroyed, and those who believe in freedom and fairness must fight for it.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.
