If ICE can kill anyone it wants with impunity, then none of us have any meaningful rights. It’s that simple.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Remember how when it turned out that Batman had plans to take down the whole Justice League it was treated as a horrific violation & a monstrous thing to do to his teammates & had knockdown effects throughout much of the DCU? Like, Tim almost lost all of his friends & he had nothing to do with it.

ConEd: Hey New York! Please raise your AC temperature to a useless level so we can continue to rely on outdated infrastructure while making record-breaking profits. Me: NO. GET BENT. Zohran Mamdani: Please. 🥺 The grid. 🥺🥺🥺 Me: ...Oh FINE.

Hey friends, if over the last 10 years or so you've seen graphics with scripts for calling your reps, there's a good chance they came from Celeste. The last few years have really put her through the wringer, if you can spare anything, please give her a hand.

Hey friends! Our one and only Celeste Pewter needs help after an already awful year. A new medical issue has made things tougher. Please read through her Go Fund Me for details, share and donate if you can. She’s been fighting for the good of our democracy tirelessly for years. gofund.me/4a6bcb3b5

There's an entire cottage industry that's developed around being intensely hateful toward female led supe/action movies. They're held to impossible standards on purpose, subjectivity doesn't exist, and then the ragebait grift begins.

"Throughout the first half of the movie I kept asking myself, 'Okay, so when does this get bad?' Then I realized it never would." Our publisher and senior editor Mark Redfern argues Supergirl is far better than the backlash suggests. www.undertheradarmag.com/news/supergi...

I have a lot of thoughts about Supergirl itself but also some thoughts on the trailers before the movie: 1. The best trailer by like...a crazy amount was for Street Fighter??? Like I would be shocked if the movie itself was actually good but the trailer was a delight? I'm so confused.

Supergirl verdict: pretty good! I certainly have some questions and some notes (that one needle drop was...a choice), but it was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed this take on Kara. I'm so relieved because this could have been REAL bad.

Oh hey, happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 I was back on Superhero Ethics talking about... Pride. As in the, 2014 movie about solidarity between queers and miners. Perhaps the real superheroes are the friends (and allies, and community) we made along the way. trustory.fm/superheroeth...

Pride (2014): When Thatcher Made Allies of Queers and Miners

Author Becky Allen joins Matthew to examine Pride (2014) and the real queer-labour coalition that outlasted Thatcher and the 84-85 miners' strike.

For sales in any media industry to work, you have to remove all the barriers of inconvenience between the product and the customer so it's as easy as possible to hand over my money and slide right in. Right now the comic industry says "do an hour of homework each week or you're a bad customer."

Claire Willett@clairewillett.bsky.social · last mo.

I will just say, from Oregon, that to me a big part of why Mamdani and Lander blew up on a national level was that their shared values, mutual respect and solidarity across faith traditions (even while running against each other!) was like everything beautiful about both New York and America

Under the guise of denouncing religious bigotry, people like David Frum are in fact engaging in religious bigotry themselves. "Oh, it doesn't matter what this politician has actually done and said, he's a Muslim and you know how THEY are." Utterly vile and pathetic.

I can't be the first person to ask this question, but the Xavier School/Institute/whatever is in Westchester. So do all of the X-kids need to take the regents? Like is that what's happening between Sentinel attacks? Because their faculty does NOT seem qualified.

If a man like Byrne, who said absolutely jaw-droppingly transphobic things that I've attached here, can still be regarded as an elder statesman of comics and get high profile deals like this published, then we have a long way to come as an industry and I would be a coward not to say that.

He said: "Many people are tortured and driven by a desire to have sex with children. Our societv frowns on this, and such people are considered mentally ill. We do not accommodate them, we do not respect them. "How is being "transgender different? Given all the twists and turns that have happened in our general understanding of how the brain and mind work - still a work in progress - how difficult is it to imagine a future in which it will be determined without doubt that "transgender" is, indeed, a mental illness? "How will we feel about all those people who, instead of actually helping them, we encouraged in a program of self- mutilation? "This is a long, long road, and so far we have taken barely a single step upon it."consider myself a pretty worldly guy. Not much surprises me. But 1 just read that "Caitlyn" is foregoing the, ah, unkindest cut of all. (She's keeping his penis.) So...'splain this one to me. How does this make "her" something other/more than a man in drag?
