This Criterion streaming collection is so clearly a response to the hockey show. Solid viewing:

LaLa Zanell is a dedicated force in the fight for trans liberation. Before working at the ACLU, she fought for police reform, advocated for LGBTQ New Yorkers who've experienced violence, and defended transgender rights before the White House and Congress.

Jasmine Crockett on Pam Bondi: “I’m not going to ask any questions of this witness bc she’s made it clear she won’t answer questions — I completely don’t get how you’re sitting at the top of DOJ bc you’re clearly not good at your job — You’ve spent more money arresting journalists than pedophiles”

“I know how heavy it is, what it costs, and what is sacrificed when you decide not to change because others ask you to. That’s why what you have achieved is not just a historic musical accomplishment, it’s a cultural and human victory,” he added. “You won without changing the color of your voice.” 😭
"When you defended the immigrant community, when you pointed out a system that persecutes and separates, you spoke from a place I know very well," Ricky Martin said in an open letter.

If you’re still on TikTok, I don’t know what to tell you, but I hope you’re aware of what you’re contributing to with or without your knowledge.

How TikTok 2.0 Became a Weapon for ICE
In just one week, the company has gone from being Gen Z’s preferred social media platform to a tool for spying on Americans and the suppression of information.

I know it sounds weird, but I really do think of the X-Men as more than just another comics team.
People who are X-fans have a connection that you just don't always see with other books, it's not just about quality, it's about a feeling they are speaking to you directly.
That's why I love it.
