I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

On the year anniversary week of Trump in office for a second time, we seem to have literal death squads patrolling the streets of Democratic-run cities.
But sure it was all Trump Derangement Syndrome when some of us were warning about the impending fascism back in 2024. 🤷🏽♂️😡

Live a life that makes Trump attack you when you die.
Rob Reiner was creative, generous, and intelligent; all things a stupid petty narcissist conman finds threatening.
Rob left a lasting legacy. Trump will leave nothing when he dies, just a gold plated gravestone people will only visit to piss on

Tons of people talking about what a gifted director of comedy Rob Reiner was but to me his most impressive movie is MISERY (1990). Absolutely expert handling of suspense beats - Reiner could've spent his entire career as a successful thriller director if he so chose.

Ginny Di makes an excellent underrepresented point here in that the secondary damage caused by AI is that so many artists have to defend our own work as organic now. I had to put out a statement that BLACK PHONE 2 contained no AI because assholes decided to accuse us of using it and no other reason.
I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵
I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Graham Greene has passed away at 73. A proud Oneida from Six Nations, he was more than an actor — he was a Canadian icon who brought truth and depth to every role. From Dances with Wolves to The Green Mile to The Last of Us, he carried Indigenous voices worldwide. 🌍
