1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.
If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Fucking scumbag thugs.
Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes' office has released video of federal agents handcuffing her at Humboldt Park Health, as she asked them to present a judicial warrant for another arrest.

I'm done here. I don't want to be here in the morning. I don't want to see what horrible thing comes next. I'm over it all. How do we just go on every day and pretend like all of this dictator shit is fine? Do we just acquiesce? Fuck it all. I hate everything.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

What’s up with all these writing residencies for rich folks? If I had $3,000 to spend on a few days of writing, I’d buy a plane ticket or drive somewhere cool and write in a hotel or a little cabin or whatever.
