A thing I’m trying in response
I want to make @jamesgunn.bsky.social aware that DC Comics @dc.com has let a hate group bully them into canceling a comic book by trans creators because of posts.
People tried to do that to you before & so I thought you might want to know and offer a statement of support of Gretchen!

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way
The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.

As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”

The orgy of liberal pundits tripping over each other to praise Charlie Kirk—when he caused so much violence to the lives of Black and LGBTQ people (including me specifically)—is telling about why the Dems can’t build an antifascist coalition.

In a proper country it would be illegal for any organization to call itself a university that isn't a university.
Parents, be vigilant against PragerU instructional materials in your kids classrooms! It’s an extremist outfit masquerading as an educational nonprofit. It’s a far right wing response to PBS kid’s programming, it is propaganda designed to appeal to children and careless or bigoted educators. Beware!

The WaPo has an article detailing the location of Federal forces across the city. While much of this is ridiculous & performative, here's three places I noted with interest, as a DC resident ⤵️

N.K. Jemisin’s The Killing Moon
If you could adapt any work of literature into a TV series (and you can only pick one), which would you pick and why?
We'll go first. Nalo Hopkinson's Midnight Robber. Seeing that world come to life with walls of Caribbean culture would be real fascinating to see on TV. So good.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.
Shooters were dressed like law enforcement and this is exactly why I’m pissed about ice officers wearing masks, driving unmarked cars and not being identifiable when they terrorize communities
