I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.

Watched Sinners, yesterday.
The very Best movie i have watched since, i dunno, Mad Max Fury Road?
There are Very few movies, recently, almost none, to be honest, that gave me the push to keep telling stories, to keep My voice to "do that, but, Me, my voice".
Sinners, like Fury Road, does.

Israel is continuing to escalate its illegal military occupation in the Palestinian West Bank.
Israel’s goal is to make conditions unlivable for Palestinians in order to steal their land.

There is another war Israel is waging – one that is not making headlines
In the occupied West Bank, Israel has mobilised all military and colonial means to make Palestinian life impossible.

If you don't love your comic you can't expect anyone else to. So get that notion of "Cringe" out the door, bury any thoughts of "For the Audience", douse the flames of "Someone else already did this--" and go forth with all the WILD AND UNTAMED love to INVIGORATE your craft
What advice would you give an aspiring comic creator? - 🦝

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them.
Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong.

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.

Art and writing is a form of protest. It is a form of empowerment. It is part of being human.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

What this administration is doing is accelerating and building on what already existed. This is disorienting, I know. We have to do what we can to protect each other locally while we also seriously address the foundational issues. This country has to disempower policing. I hope people understand now

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.
Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?
TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio making it absolutely clear Cuba is next in their crosshairs.
It’s incredible to hear Rubio say Venezuela was “colonized” by Cubans — as the United States decapitates its government and claims it’s becoming an occupying power to steal the country’s oil wealth.
