Two things can be true: 1. Antisemitism is real. It upends people’s lives. It results in Jews dying. 2. Antisemitism is being exploited by the non-Jewish, antisemitic fascists running our nation to justify their agenda. They use Jews as human shields. 2 undermines our efforts to put an end to 1.🧵

If you are feeling helpless and adrift in the face of current events, I PROMISE you that finding a protest and joining (if you are able and have capacity) really can make you feel profoundly a part of things in an empowering way.

anyway I’m going out to protest this weekend because we haven’t been beaten yet, and I suggest you do the same it’ll make you feel better than reading an endless stream of posts about how we’re all doomed and we might as well offer ourselves up to be processed into slurry for the MAGA AI mines now

Newsom is doing what almost every Democrat in the country is afraid to do right now and he is going to reap all the rewards if they don’t hurry. As a California voter intimately familiar with Newsom’s actual policy bonafides, I am loudly imploring someone else to do that hurrying.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

yeah I'm not sure this is so much a petty feud between two men as it is the president of the United States sending troops to attack the people they're supposed to protect

The best theater in the Bay Area, the Grand Lake in Oakland, committed long ago to never showing advertisements before screenings. (But they do have an organ player on Friday and Saturday nights.)

Here is my personal philosophy, based on several decades of watching publishers go under: the moment a publisher is late on money because they don't have it, they are the enemy and your goal is to get your rights back.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 78 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

At the screening last night Tony Gilroy spoke about why a lot of people in creative fields are progressive. I forget his exact phrasing but basically it’s because you have to have empathy in order to make something that speaks to people. Refreshing to hear empathy talked about as a positive.

I'm going to re-up this. Every Dem in the country needs to study the messaging here, especially "progressive" NIMBYs in Seattle. Want to stick it to landlords? Allow for the construction of more housing. Want to fight displacement? Build more housing.

The way I would phrase it is that the best way to recruit people is to try to be the kind of person other people want to be. And when the good guys present as neurotic messes and the bad guys sell themselves as unstoppable ubermensch, Not Good things become more likely.

After decades of attempting to Study my husband's masculine allure--subjecting him to numerous interviews on the subject--I have reluctantly concluded that a deep resistance to thinking about it is in fact part of it. Real manly men are only bewildered by this shit.

a terrible thing about the last ten or twenty years of comics is seeing how many massive talents are still with us and in poor health, dying young, forever freelancers that gave their physical health to make things that now fuel the biggest blockbusters ever. It’s not right.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
