Gavin Newsom Sits Down For Podcast With Serial Killer Who Targets Homeless

Ever since "Sinners" became a bonafide hit, I have the painful reminder yet again that the Black talent is there so to not include it is definitely a choice.

Finally my Roman empire comes up again: We need more sex in movies.

Palantir, the intelligence and data tracking firm founded by Peter Thiel, is reportedly being used by ICE to track down and kidnap political dissidents. The head of Palantir UK is Louis Mosley, the the eldest grandson of Oswald Mosley, who founded the Brish Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1932.

this family needs your help

If this happened to me with a fake screenwriting contest I would literally do violence. This sucks.

People trying to launch a career in the entertainment industry face so many headwinds because there’s no clear path to getting opportunities, so folks are often willing to try anything and take on travel expenses in the hopes of a bigger payoff. That’s why this feels so mean

🧵Antifascists removed white nationalist propaganda and gang tagging in the San Fernando Valley North of Los Angeles after Patriot Front/Active Club affiliated recruits filmed themselves scrawling hate messages and placing white nationalist stickers around the local in-n-out. 1/3

you know what you need to do this? lots and lots of police with guns and batons who can round up poor and homeless people and put them in cages. every abuse we're seeing right now, from Trump or not, is enabled by the bipartisan buildup of policing over the past decades

Don’t let the NYT's normalization of Trump's regressive, anti-woman policies fool you. When Republicans talk about wanting more “parents” at home, they mean more women at home. They push policies that limit reproductive rights, undermine access to childcare, and devalue women's contributions... 1/

This man gave up his freedom and the chance to meet his child to protest a genocide. How many rabbis in America are willing to risk their job to do the same? What is the point of Judaism? What moral leadership can it offer anyone?

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

RFK Jr. doesn’t believe in germ theory, so him hopping into a sewage-filled creek reminds me of Immanuel Pfeiffer. He’s the anti-vaxxer who in 1902 went right ahead and took his unvaccinated self to a smallpox ward and lo and behold became very ill with smallpox.

For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law: 1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

@propublica.org recently reported on the cancer drug Revlimid that costs nearly $1k/pill in the US. Today, Trump signed an executive order he claims will lower drug prices. And yet the stock price of the company that makes Revlimid, pharma giant Bristol Myers Squibb, jumped nearly 4% today... 😐

a man wealthier than most Americans is no where near qualified to dictate what "normal" Americans say or understand.

the downstream effects of algorithmization are so insidious. the goal truly is to produce to the exact level of “tolerable.” when I finally watched Power of the Dog after a particularly grim run of Marvel-adjacent smeary slop it felt like getting a full breath when I wasn’t even aware I was drowning
