Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Arresting journalists. Seizing ballots. Murdering protesters. Detaining children. It’s time to decide what your red line is.

-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I'm literally crying. The absolute courage of this woman.
Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

I wrote about performative ignorance last month. It's exhausting.
"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."
I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion
Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?
That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

A fed'l Judge in Alabama ruled in the Yellowhammer Fund's favor. The case isn't about abortion; not really. It’s about whether helpers can help people go to states where abortion is still legal & whether women are free to travel elsewhere to do things that are not legal in their home state.
