God it's so funny in an indescribably bleak way that the end game of the whole attempt to portray every uprising as a color revolution is the literal president of the United States reposting memes about how communists are doing a color revolution in America
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Trump has posted to Truth Social at least 75 times and counting in the past hour.
It’s weirdo garbage produced by random people on X and TikTok across a number of topics, like conspiracy theories about Ilhan Omar and influencers who claim “communists” are attempting a color revolution in the U.S.

‘Popcorn Disabilities’ author Kristen Lopez looks at disability portrayals in movies
If movies can shape perceptions, Hollywood has done its fare share of creating misperceptions around disability.

shouldn't a cancelled performer actually be cancelled before they come back
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.
