actors and athletes are often perceived as being especially entitled *because* they are labor (and because they are often Black/women/LGBT) 1
beyond just being wrong on the merits, the thing that bugs me about people dismissing actors and athletes as labor is that, historically, they’ve been at the forefront of a lot of labor victories that have helped labor more broadly

Go on, DHS; keep radicalizing the pastors. This should work out great for you.
A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and made an arrest in front of children. They cried “a lot,” he said.
“We are trying to clean the property. We didn’t know this is gonna happen.”

Folks, saying ABOLISH ICE isn't hard. Quite easy. The water is warm here. Jump in. Mainstream it. People will follow.

Also I understand it’s been a long decade and there’s a temptation to be cynical, but this is a radical departure from what we’ve seen. Maybe the base will forget about all of this and reunite around Trump, but I still think this is seismic.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

I entered 2025 resolved to look at the regime and explicitly tell myself "that is Babylon" and emotional detach when it came to them and their enablers, especially when it came to tech and retailers.
The Epstein emails really pushes that narrative almost to the point of parody, though
