Im kinda floored by this. If I had to guess I would have said he was most likely to show this support but wouldn't ever imagine it to really happen.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

1) Is Bari Weiss famous enough to get parodied by Saturday Night Live?

2) If so, who should play her?

max tani @maxtani.bsky.social · 4d

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

Tonight, celebrate the release of ANTICS' new issue (which is great) featuring DJ sets (which will be great) from Godcaster, Jordana, Grace Robins-Somerville, and more.

It's free, runs from 7 to 10 pm at Cassette, and the room will be filled with rampant music fandom. I hope you can make it out!

An all-time banger and one of the best songs written about Cold/Nuclear War paranoia and/or Apartheid.

.....I didn't know this and don't wish to know anything further.

But I think that only solidifies my point!

So many to choose from!

This video of mostly '80s jingoistic imagery used by the Trump Administration for ICE recruitment is exactly like a video Devo would have made in the '80s to critique blinkered '80s materialism.

Just watch while listening to "Freedom of Choice" or "Beautiful World." The Cassandras of post punk.

Last year, I was fortunate enough to write the liner notes for Boys Life's Numero Group box set Home Is a Highway, a must-have for any emo fan.

I knew new music was on the way, and I'm thrilled there's another chapter to their story.
