This isn’t about awards it’s about the idea that ordinary people, standing together, can push back against fear, defend their neighbors, and demand accountability from those in power. That’s how democratic values stay alive!

Went to the Netflix restaurant in Philly. All the menu items are themed to Netflix originals with one entree for Bojack Horseman. I’m still baffled that *this* was the line they chose to reference in the description:

If journalists can be charged with criminal conspiracy for documenting events the government doesn't like, then labor, climate, and police reporting becomes dangerous. Any story that challenges power becomes illegal.

In all of 2025, there were 8 substantiated homicides attributed to undocumented immigrants nationwide.

ICE and CBP have already killed 9 people in January 2026 alone.

The “dangerous immigrant” narrative collapses under scrutiny.

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job.

“I’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

Fewer than 10 US citizens are killed by undocumented immigrants each year.

Nearly that many have already died in ICE/CBP custody this month - not including at least 5 fatal shootings.

If you're interested in the data, my buddy @austinkocher.com has a great site.

Some of yall can stand to learn that if you truly believe something is unjust, you should NOT wish it upon your enemies, opponents, or rivals. You should not pick and choose when to apply your morals.

I can’t explain why, but this is one of my most personal art pieces I’ve ever made. I can just stare at it and think about its meaning in a specific point in time.

Weird confession: I’m a gay AMAB NB… mostly. Every once in a while I find a woman genuinely attractive, but they’re usually bi or lesbian. This is my most accurate gaydar. If I think a woman is hot, she’s queer 100% of the time.

Hot music take: I like “HOW I’M FEELING NOW” more than “BRAT”
Also hot music take (apparently): I like “detonate” more than “forever”.

Trump’s goal is to force the resistance into obedience. He has stated that beginning February 1, his administration will deny federal funding to any state that is home to local governments resisting his immigration crackdown carried out by ICE.

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.
