As a Jewish person I also think it really fucking sucks to smear the first Muslim mayoral candidate as an antisemite!!! www.thehandbasket.co/p/smearing-z...

Everyone who asks you to go against Zohran for anti semitic reasons would have begged to be on steamroller duty in Nazi Germany, and they'd be like "we don't have one of those" and they're like "well, listen, here's the concept behind steamroller duty".

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

It is absolutely absurd that Adrian Andrew Martinez is still in ICE detention more than 24 hours later. They’re a rogue gang with no authority to hold him.

There is not enough of an outcry that they're just arresting US citizens now. At 3,000 arrests a day their goal is a Hitler like arrest of everyone who does not fit into their idea of an American.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

White people don’t vote/care for things that don’t impact them so we wouldn’t be in this mess if they did. I don’t think it’s wrong to acknowledge this. Sincerely, medium booty Latina

If you're on social media long enough, you too many posts about how comedy must have a propagandic need to justify itself. No. Comedy's true purpose is to get Lorne Michaels' friends kids jobs.

every time some ostensibly liberal writer at a prestige journalism outlet shakes their head solemnly and writes they really hate to say it but they can't vote for mamdani it's because he, being a person with the exact pedigree those writers have, makes them look bad by comparison

this kind of panic is completely disconnected from objective reality, what on earth are they expecting will happen if the city becomes (optimistically) 10% more responsive to the needs of people who will never know anyone who has a line drawing of themselves in the newspaper

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

Everyone is throwing out examples of Iraq War-era mass derangement so I might as well throw in Amanda Bynes doing a peace sign on a movie poster being photoshopped out for fear of being seen as an antiwar statement

It’s instructive about where we’re at that the right likes to accuse people of virtue signaling, where people talk about seemingly positive or noble personal virtues, while this guy sends out a tweet saying “no one asked but I feel the need to tell you all that I don’t care about emancipation”

part of the problem with democracy is that it counts on people who make decisions about who to vote for based on television commercials. I don't make decisions about toothpaste that way

Comic books need to embrace more genres to survive. Serving a shrinking audience of people who will buy your book as "in addition to a Spider Man comic" is one of those things that won't exactly result in a hit. This is part of why manga wins. Multiple voices, genres, character types.

Kids would read more American comics if they were encouraged to crumple, tear, throw them in backpacks and generally beat the hell out of them. Big advantage of manga and scholastic ogns is that they’re sturdy and no adult is telling you to delicately put them in a plastic sleeve in a cool dark box.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.
