I'd believe this anecdote because I've met guys like this at conventions. People do ask (politely) about their work and they can't pitch it because what makes it special is that they are the specialest boy. They go to panels and hear queer and BIPOC writers talk about their work and think "ah ha". +

The wildest thing to me is that multiple Black people had to die in a manner akin to public spectacles for 2020 to happen and the backlash is being fueled by white guys who can’t sell a screenplay or manuscript.

The fact that every other professor at OU didn't stage a strike - and yes - risk their careers - over this - is goddamn disappointing.

This is the future that awaits them if they don't resist it.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

To be clear, so-called “Epstein Files” could clearly implicate Trump as a repeat sexual abuser of young girls

and White America would still support him and this ongoing white nationalist overhaul, in overwhelming numbers.

White Supremacy Culture ignores, even permits this disgusting behavior.
