Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Freeskiing too. Tom Wallisch tried to rename it the "Auclair grab" to honor a freeskier, but it looks like he either gave up or got told to drop it.

I guess I should not be surprised that FIS no longer cares about ableism since they're already transphobic, but man, is snowboarding just gonna make no effort to call it a "Weddle grab"?

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Very briefly I thought about refusing the ambulance ride since I was a mile from the hospital, but I didn't known how bad my injuries were and saw blood coming out of my head. They wound up being minor, but psychological shock can makes you take the ride (and admit to jaywalking).

I need everyone who agrees with making patients into consumers to be hit by a car and experience so much pain that any rational thought goes out their mind.
You've been hit by a car and you're fading in and out. You ask the EMTs to price the ambulance ride. You get to the ER and tell the docs you'll need a price on each service before it's done. You get cancer so it's time to put treament out to competitive bid. I can keep going...
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Yeah because the groovy white guy everybody fell in love with kicked Ted Cruz’s oh wait no.
She can run if she wants to and if she wins the primary your job is to shut the fuck up and support the shit out of her.
“Senior House Dem“ probably just voted to confirm a Trump judge. STFU.

Jasmine Crockett’s Senate bid is infuriating some colleagues.
“She might win a primary, but she ain't winning a general in Texas," said a senior House Dem.

I know we're all putting Harry Potter in the bin, but the first time I ever cosplayed was for the midnight premiere of The Prisoner of Azkaban. We had just graduated high school and we turned our robes into Ravenclaw Quidditch team uniforms
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

I'm fine with the gov't being all-in on porn, it's that the biggest use of AI is nonconsensual porn involving people's stolen images—what we might call rape by proxy—that strikes me as problematic.
