I’m making my first animated movie project called “Corey & Sienna”. It’s about Corey Kenneth Montesano, a curious man who is a fan of “The Elite Planet Rescue League” and goes on a journey to become a star in Los Angeles. He then meets his girlfriend, an activist named Sienna Marie Johansson. (1/2)

TLDR: Mail ballots don’t undermine democracy, they strengthen it by making voting more accessible and dramatically improving turnout in local, primary, and federal elections.
Vote at Home isn’t new, risky, or partisan. It’s American.

Watching ICE go door to door in Minneapolis, local and state authorities permitting it...it's impossible not to think of Kristallnacht. The Great Removal of the 5 SE Tribes. 1942, when Japanese-Americans were forced into camps.
What we do in response to this moment of great shame matters.

Whenever I hear sirens I'm worried about the door getting kicked in just to be hauled away for not being white.
If you ever voted for that guy please know I'm mad at you and always will be.

Censorship is becoming quieter. Accountability more fragmented. And yet, coordination, learning, and cross-regional exchange are growing stronger.
These tensions and opportunities defined much of the year we leave behind.

Some criminals are above the law I guess
WELKER: Where is that $50,000? Did you keep it?
HOMAN: I didn't take $50k from anybody & that's a question for the FBI. Bottom line I did nothing illegal.
WELKER: But was there $50k in the bag?
HOMAN: I'm not addressing it
WELKER: But did you keep the money?
HOMAN: $50k is ridiculous

If you ever wonder what moral collapse looks like:
In 2024, half a ton of premium dog food was given to Israeli soldiers by animal protection activists to feed dogs in Gaza, while civilians were left to starve without access to aid.

It was probably the most fun I ever had as a journalist. Just writing features and concert reviews sometimes. Right before corporate takeovers and economics tore everything to shreds.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
