We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

I blame this on too many people having a reading of DS9 that just says "See! You thought the federation was all rainbows & Talarian puppies, but there was messy, GRITTY stuff there, man!"
…When the entire point of that show was about finding a way to live federation ideals, THROUGH the grit & mess.

I am (in general) concerned that storytellers in my cluster are taking old, relatively idealistic stories and reframing them as tarnished and nasty under the impression that makes them more meaningful, when impossible dreams have never been more precious in my lifetime.

I personally hope the lesson Hollywood learns is to make more things Boey and Erika wrote
My writing partner @gryphonmetal.bsky.social and I are so damn proud of our contributions in this film 💖🇰🇷🫡 Hope Hollywood learns the right lessons and greenlights more ORIGINAL stories.
‘KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ is the #1 movie at the domestic box office this weekend with an estimated $18M
It is Netflix’s first ever film to become #1 at the box office.

Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away”

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

One way to be a patriot right now is not to engage in doomerism. These people are fascists and they’re very dangerous. But they’re also weak, undisciplined, and unpopular. And they’re losing.

May we become a nation worthy of Rumeysa Ozturk's faith.
1. Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old Turkish doctoral student at Tufts, speaks after a federal judge ordered her release following her arrest by federal agents on the street.
She calls the United States “the greatest democracy in the world” and says she has “faith in the American justice system.”
