Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Jersey already dug Homeboy Kim, but then when we saw him picking up litter after J6, that shit was locked in for good.
Our country has been hijacked by mob bosses who use corruption, extortion, and intimidation to instill fear and submission into all of us.
 
When we reopen the government, we must fight to make sure it’s working for you, not the mob bosses in power.

How does my 16lbs cat, completely covered in black fur, whine for the windows to be open on a 90º muggy day and thrives when he gets it, but my hairless human ass can't breathe and sweats like a pig. How the hell is he not in charge.

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

Outlooks like these are why the U.S. is in the predicament it's in. This is simply how it's done, how it should be. It's as plain as cause and effect. Their complaints are deeply revealing. Crime --> swift punishment --> next.
The thing about all these pieces complaining about Marine Le Pen's conviction is that not a single one of them bothers to explain why someone found guilty of embezzling millions of Euros from public funds should be allowed to get away with it

I was at a film festival in Savannah with him and one night at a karaoke bar he sang "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid and it was every bit as amazing as it sounds.

need you to constantly remind yourself that the average normal person has no idea that any of the stuff we are rightly getting upset about is going on. they dont know. and we need to do everything we individually can to make them know.

At what point are your everyday non-MAGA Trump voters going to realize this isn't okay, that they made a mistake?
Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage."
