Time for those Black students to revive direct action protests. Many of them know the history & legacy - it's why they are on these campuses in the first place. Time to do their part in the ongoing struggle.

UNC just removed their long-standing space for the Black Student Movement to gather, in yet another stunning capitulation to the toddler-man’s anti-DEI demands.

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

PSA - Mango Languages is free with a library card. I learned a lot via Duolingo but Mango cleans up my grammar and improves my comprehension of each language. It sticks. Currently studying Korean, Spanish, Portuguese and strengthening my French. Easy way to feel better about oneself.

The fact that this new is a relief, that a man and his family managed to flee the US, is a permanent mark of shame on every Republican supporter and "free speech warrior". Driven out of the US for being anti-fascist. The fascists run the country now. We must resist.

Do not allow them to scare you into submission. Together, we outnumber them. Together, we will overcome. When we come together on Oct 18th, regardless of where you are, know that you are safer in larger numbers. Invite your friends, invite your family. Make this an event like no other.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

NEW: 51 Senators urge RFK Jr. and Marty Makary to end telemedicine prescriptions of the abortion drug mifepristone— and to suspend its distribution as an "imminent hazard" under Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Collins and Murkowski only GOP members not to sign
justthenews.com/sites/defaul...

screenshot of letter dated 10/9/25
Today, your agencies have all the information they need to bring an end to previous Democrat-administrations’ abortion drug regulations while a comprehensive review is conducted. As a starting point,
we recommend the following:
1. Suspend the approval of any new generic versions of mifepristone pending the outcome of the REMS safety review;
2. Commit to ensuring that all generic versions of mifepristone are included in the ongoing reevaluation of prior REMS approvals;
3. Reinstate the in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone and all its generic versions;
4. Suspend the distribution of mifepristone and all generic versions as an “imminent hazard” under Section 505(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA); and
5. Withdraw FDA guidance permitting pharmacy distribution of mifepristone and all its generic versions.

We are committed to continuing to work together to give a voice to the voiceless and protect women from the dangerous effects of unregulated access to chemical abortion drugs. The life, safety, freedom, and health of millions of Americans, born and unborn, depend on it.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

This is the kind of language of dictators, not elected leaders. You would have to be mighty fucking stupid to argue the president has unlimited power to oppress but no power to aid. Student loan forgiveness? Bad. Unchecked dictatorial power? Good.

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.
