Invest a few minutes in a dose of common sense from #AlanCumming to clear the cobwebs this morning. We all need to speak this clearly about our situation. #JimmyKimmelLive

Hey @wnba.com: pay them what you owe them!

We’re proud of our unions’ solidarity with the WNBPA as they fight for their fair share and a strong new contract ✊

The US’s biggest pro women’s sports unions have found strength together

For NWSL and WNBA players’ unions, collective actions have been key to their successes in wholly different sports

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Wow #Apple I didn’t know I was walking around holding a pussyphone. One whisper from Herr Trump and you’re on your knees? Bring back #IceBlock or fuck off with your soulless corporate bullshit. Pussies. Liars. Losers. Cowards.

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

There's only one requirement of any of us, and that is to be courageous. Because courage, as you might know, defines all other human behavior. And, I believe - because I've done a little of this myself - pretending to be courageous is just as good as the real thing.

Yep @maddow.msnbc.com interview was excellent, but don’t sleep on this banger from @joyannreid.bsky.social with a whole lot of honesty and realness. Worth your time. Worth our time, as a country. We should try to deserve both these amazing women.

On a long enough timeline all malls go to hell

Jamestown Mall - Florissant, Missouri (2020)
#deadmalls #abandoned #mall #MO #photography

Photograph. An abandoned, vandalized and flooded shopping mall. Wreckage of a York's steak house reflected in a pool of water.

Photograph. An abandoned and severely vandalized mall concourse. Debris and wreckage covers the floor in front of storefronts on either side. A ramp in the lower RH corner is missing hand railings. Directional signage at the end leads to Jamestown 14 Cine.

Photograph. Interior of an abandoned and severely damaged Dillard's department store. Ceilings have collapsed and an escalator atrium is wide open. Graffiti and mold cover walls. Debris and wreckage litter the floor.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Just finished #StarWarsOutlaws. I put off the final quest for months bc I did not want this game to end. Spectacular work.

If you told me there was a #KayVess live action film coming out in 5 years, I would buy a ticket today.

More, please. 🙏
