That they trust Trump to be the guarantor is scary. Our regime shouldn't be trusted with anything. He's a liar and he will break his word.

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

I'm here in NJ outside Philly and I wouldn't be so confident. Ciatterelli is making huge inroads in SJ, where there was a big red shift in 2024 despite Harris winning. My neighbors have signs up. It's the utility bills. She got on the issue late.

1. In a devastating new Pew Research Survey, only 3 in 10 transgender adults report being accepted by their parents.

And only 1 in 10 say they are accepted by their extended family.

This is the lowest number ever found in surveys asking similar questions.

Pew Survey: Only 31% Of Trans People Report Being Accepted By Their Parents

The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

These guys will "just follow orders" and the uniform doesn't flatten their identity of being co conspirators in a facist military takeover. They will be judged as harshly as everyone else involved in this. Sidenote: these 🤡 are busting out of their cammo, or is this the new warrior ethos?

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

Israel isn't interested in peace or 2 state solutions. They want ethnic cleansing. And they've succeeded in dehumanizing Palestinians enough for the West not to care. RIP🕊

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

Black folks are entitled to their own spaces. That isn't racism. You are not entitled to it because you WANT it. That's what you don't understand. For example, I'm queer and I like to hang out in queer spaces because they are safe. Straight people aren't entitled to my space. Hope that helps.

This is disheartening. I want all races in my community and unfortunately I think this is racist. I understand the black community wants to be supported, it’s coming off as a one way street. I’ve encountered racism lately all from mentally unstable black women. Blacksky will further segregate people

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Doaa. Doaa is the mother of 3 children Omar, 10, Yasmine, 8 and Youseff, 4 but she primarily started this fundraiser to help her sister Amal who lost a husband and son and is trying to support her children Hiam, 13, Omar, 12 and Jawad, 7.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

A few yards away from Schiffman, Finn Cervino of Queens was defacing a poster with a Sharpie. He included a web address for a website predicting the future of AI and wrote “This is not science fiction. This is reality.”

“We’re living in a world where you got friends that are computers — that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” Cervino said. “They’re destroying the world for the dumbest invention I’ve ever seen in my life.”

It doesn't get said enough, but it takes an incredible amount of courage to crawl across the broken shards of an entire patriarchal heteronormative cisgendered social structure to stand as your true selves in the face of ... everything that entails. Especially right now.

I'm proud of you. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

Just came home to find my across the street neighbor put a Citarrelli sign in their yard. He hates queer people and me & all my friends are queer. So, either she hates me or decided that it wasn't a dealbreaker.
I'm in hell.
