Greyhound, which isn't letting ICE do warrantless immigration checks on its buses, has links to pro bono immigration law resources on its site, incl some on USDOJ's website. I hope other are copying these pages so when the Fascists take the info down down it will be avail elsewhere. Bravo Greyhound

Deftly written by Philip Chung and directed by Jeff Liu, the ending especially will leave your jaw hanging. You’ll be talking about this show for days afterwards. Two shows left today 2 and 8 pm and a closing show tomorrow at 5 pm. DON’T MISS IT.

The two men, James Leong and Moon Kwan, went on to become cinema pioneers; the film was a huge hit, despite—or because of—its yellowface performance.

It’s a period piece that feels intensely modern, especially as Trump-Vance ramp up their anti-Chinese rhetoric.

@cashleelee: “Even though it was yellowface and, by today’s standards, problematic, it was progressive at the time. We can learn from it and build on it as we continue to tell our own stories with more agency.”

Just saw my friend Phil Chung's great great play Unbroken Blossoms. Wow. An historical imagining of the work of real life filmmakers James Leong and Moon Kwan, who were authenticity consultants on DW Griffith's Broken Blossoms in 1919. Powerful and shockingly relevant. See it!

In just the last three hours, Elon Musk has:

- Said he's t-bagging the media
- Defended Germany's far-right AfD party
- Spread COVID conspiracy theories
- Attacked Zelensky for depending on foreign aid

The man is well and truly embracing fascist propaganda.

IMPORTANT for folks that are in abusive situations and have hidden cell phones:
Reminder: there's a Nationwide Emergency Alert Test on Wednesday & any phone that's on, even on silent, WILL make a loud sound.

As others have pointed out, sometimes abused individuals keep phones hidden as a lifeline. It's important they know this is coming. Deets: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

I hate this headline, because it dishonestly portrays the subject as having changed, when what really happened was reporters & editors went along with a heroic self-mythology rather than performing scrutiny and now realize what a mistake that was, w/o owning up to it.

See: Giuliani, Rudy.

If I’ve said this once, I’ve said it a million times;
SPACE FACTS: DAY 90/365🧪🔭🛰️

For main sequence stars, mass and radius are positively correlated:
as mass goes up, radius goes up. Not so for degenerate objects like white dwarfs and neutron stars! For them, as mass goes up, radius goes down.
