Since all of the "The GOAT" posters keep reminding me that the same animators worked on the Spider-Verse movies & K-Pop Demon Hunters, what would make me really happy is to see Gwen have a HUNTR/X poster on her bedroom wall. Ecstatic if "Golden" was her ringtone for her devices. Do it, Sony.

The hostile immigration system is a disability justice issue.
By late Friday afternoon, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement saying authorities had received Abreu-Vasquez's medications and that ICE would work to ensure he received them.
But on Sunday afternoon, his wife told MPR News that he still hadn't received the life-saving medication.

"religious" as a signifier of laudatory authenticity & virtue is reserved for white evangelicals while ignoring liberal denominations & black churches which are more historically rooted & theologically informed, and disparaging nonchristian religious conservatives eg muslims as foreign & backward
Lost in the Don Lemon story is this. Armstrong led a religious protest against a religion appeasing evil. This fact is lost, b/c the press corps strips the religious expression of Black people, representing their acts as only political. This allows the right to claim religious persecution.
