- Here is the video of Hakeem Jeffries saying "fuck Donald Trump" for posting that racist video of the Obamas. (originally from his official Instagram account) www.instagram.com/reel/DUbeoy5...

- We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

- Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party" Journalists never asked Mitch McConnell, e.g., why he was blocking Obama from appointing a SCOTUS judge after Republicans lost the 2012 presidential election. Happy week, everyone!
- Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

- Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.
- Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

- one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

- They have made clear that it was never just about illegal immigration: they hate all immigrants.
- The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring
- "Epstein and company weren't specifically preying on youth." OK, but if this is true, please give me a list of the 45-year-old women who they were trafficking. I'll wait.
- Billionaire mentality is a cancer that has fucked the last twenty years on a level people are only beginning to understand. Any philosophy built on constant exponential growth is impossible. These pigs all need to learn the word "enough," or there will be nothing left of any industry.
- At the same time, the extent of the Washington Post layoffs highlight how it didn't matter how hardworking, loyal, smart, collaborative, award-winning, competitive, knowledgeable and devoted so many of the staff were. It wasn't enough to prevent being laid off by one of the richest men in the world.
- the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

- Very glad this is being introduced but $20 is frankly the bare minimum! We pay our campaign staff a minimum wage of $25/hr because that’s where we think the minimum wage should be. People deserve to thrive, not just survive.
- They were never going to get to their stated deportations goal with due process. So they're phasing it out. (Part 2)

- There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.
- Here is a thing: There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To. (cont'd)

View full threadAnd I wonder about the people elsewhere who weren't part of the networks who passed around my name, who weren't parts of the public-facing parts of the industry. Because I KNOW that it didn't start and stop with editorial or talent. (cont'd)
- My entire generational cohort of female editors--who were pretty numerous--is gone from DH. Many of them no longer work in the comics industry. This is not exceptional. I cannot emphasize how exceptional this is not.
- I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1789
- these awful people believe a child can be groomed & married at her parents’ will, but cannot initiate a divorce; a child is mature enough to be forced to carry a pregnancy but not mature enough to know they’re not ready; a child can be signed up by their parents for lifelong, non-dischargeable debt—
- I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

- embarrass the administration and they will do everything in their power to ruin your life, even if the embarrassment is the result of their own cruel overreach vicious sadistic bullies all the way down
- Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
- Just like with Kilmer Abrego Garcia, the biggest sin any targeted immigrant can commit is winning battles — legal or PR battles — against the government, and they just won’t let those losses go
