I think a lot about how Crazy Rich Asians made a ton of money, huge hit, beloved movie. Sequel, guaranteed hit. And then the Asian woman cowriting the script asked to be paid the same amount as the white man they paired her with, and the studio completely abandoned the sequel rather than do that

Miller and Homan must be so pleased with themselves. Fucking monsters: A family that was deported to Mexico hopes they can find a way to return to the U.S. and ensure their 10-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, can continue her brain cancer treatment. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

WTF The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.

Seems the new standard for being called a traitor in this Age of American Misrule is to fly more than three dozen combat missions in Iraq for the U.S. Navy, then command the Space Shuttle as a U.S. Astronaut, then serve in the U.S. Senate, and remember that Russia attacked its neighbor, Ukraine.

It was never about "criminals" at all. It's about scooping up as many brown people as possible, meeting arrest quotas, and getting video of them being herded on to planes. Just take a step back and imagine it in black and white but a railroad car instead of a C-17.

When you think of a Christian, don't think of what MAGA has distorted that word to mean; think of Jimmy Carter, the kindest President America has ever had. #RIPJimmyCarter

Why do so many Republicans accept school shootings when the vast majority of Americans, including R’s, support commonsense gun legislation? Because they don’t care ENOUGH to vote out elected GOP who refuse to enact such laws. They would like to see change, just not enough to hold them accountable…😑

To much fanfare, Trump announced today that SoftBank was going to invest $50 billion in the US because they had confidence in Trump. Except the two of them made the same announcement after Trump won in 2016. And it never happened.

John Lennon was assassinated 44 years ago today by a man who flew from Hawaii to New York with a handgun in his suitcase. He shot Lennon five times with hollow-point bullets. Since then, over 1.5M people in America have been shot and killed - many more wounded. Imagine…

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

I don't think the actor Earl Holliman, who just died at 96, officially came out, so I was touched to see his passing confirmed by his husband. His first screen role was in 1952; he came up when, for an actor, coming out was not difficult but impossible. He lived through things we'll never know. RIP.
