"Lindsey Graham lived his life as a pilot fish, a parasitic sucker fish hovering about larger predators. He was a sidekick and the hollowest of hollow men." open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention.

I did not need to wake up to Claire McCaskill on MSNow scolding us all to be "charitable" to Lindsey Graham because he was a "good man." No, he wasn't. He was the fascists' handmaiden.
Since I last posted, #HollywoodFringe has come and gone. I saw 44(!) shows. Met a ton of awesome theatre artists. And Strange Beings was nominated for 6 awards and won 2. This is the most personal story I’ve ever told, and I’m so grateful for the team who made the show possible. #HFF26 #LAThtr

“The ICE warehouse jail in Merrimack is not opening. For the people who would have been detained there and their loved ones, this is a real win. It also proves something larger: detention expansion is not inevitable. Everyday people can stop these facilities.” afsc.org/news/how-sma...

Civilians are always the ones who pay the price. In Iran. Palestine. Sudan. Congo. Immigrant communities. Trans communities. Too many to count or name, but I am thinking of all of them.
“What terrible news to wake up to” is a sentence I wish felt rare

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
Would you like some fictional horror to distract you from the real world horrors? Check out the latest episode of Someone Just Like You, written by yours truly! (Please read the show notes for content warnings.)
New episode of “Someone Just Like You” dropped today!
Sometimes, writing is inching forward on a project, bit by bit. Other times, it’s cranking out the first draft of a 50+ page one-act play in 10 days. The ebbs and flows of creative output will never not fascinate me. #Writing
Hakeem Jeffries has used the “magic minute” to hold the floor for the last 4 hours. There is still time to pressure Republicans. See our thread below for who to reach out to.
The vote is STILL ON! Representatives are still on the floor while Hakeem Jeffries is filibustering long enough to allow Americans to wake up and to prevent this bill from passing in the middle of the night. KEEP THE PRESSURE ON! (1/

This weekend’s shocking and violent raids in Los Angeles are meant to be a show of force from the Trump regime. This is about instilling fear and terrorizing Angelenos.

After watching this on Saturday, my first thought as I left the theater was “I need to see this again.” I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. #Sinners is absolutely stunning.
