If folks in the Democratic party cannot find it within themselves to be absolute staunch supporters of trans people's rights because trans people are people who have inherent worth, then they should at least do it because if we give up on trans people, then we're literally giving up on democracy.

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

I feel extremely lucky to have had the honor of not only seeing Tim Curry interviewed at a Rocky Horror screening at the Academy Museum last year, but to get to sit directly behind him and watch him enjoy the film. He was brilliant, he was funny, he was one of a kind.

"I'm calling for all parties to come to the table?" Respectfully, either you're for the merger or you're against it. Any version of this merger is bad for Hollywood and bad for your constituents, several thousand of whom will permanently lose their jobs.

Productions in L.A. are hurting and hardworking Angelenos are out of a job because ongoing disputes over the proposed merger have stalled filming in our city. I have not been supportive of this merger - I’m calling for all parties to come to the table.

The reason Harry Potter Adults are so bad is because for a long time there were totally normal Harry Potter Adults who did things like use their fandom to raise money for charity but then Joanne went absolute horses and all the normal adults ditched the fandom so the only ones left are total ghouls.

A pox on every single transphobe, especially those with the political and social power to make people’s lives better or worse who decide: hm, let’s go with WORSE. This includes not only rabid rightwingers, but also ostensible allies who cannot wait to sell out our trans brothers and sisters. POX!!

Reminder that in August of last year Trump fired the person tasked with releasing jobs reports because the report was bad, and replaced her with a stooge. Now the stooge releases job reports that are "surprisingly great!" and they're just reported as fact with no context.

AP article from August 1 2025: 

President Donald Trump on Friday removed the head of the agency that produces the monthly jobs figures after a report showed hiring slowed in July and was much weaker in May and June than previously reported.

Trump, in a post on his social media platform, alleged that the figures were manipulated for political reasons and said that Erika McEntarfer, the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, should be fired. He provided no evidence for the charge.

“I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump said on Truth Social. “She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified.”

Trump later posted: “In my opinion, today’s Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.”WaPo headline: U.S. employers added 172,000 jobs in May, an unexpectedly strong showing

Last night was my 5th time Springsteen show and was honestly surprised at how emotional I got. After all of yesterday, being in an arena full of people channeling anger and frustration into joy was magical. Also, @brucespringsteen.net rocked as hard as I’ve ever seen him & Tom Morello just shreds!
