Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."

Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

While watching that horrifying, globe-shifting exchange with Zelenkskyy, I couldn't help but think about what a deliberately staged reality-TV moment it was, with two people ganging up on one and screaming a classic, totally petulant reality-TV accusation: They hadn't been thanked enough.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.
Trump, with Netanyahu sitting next to him, says "Gaza maybe is a demolition site right now ... you can't live in Gaza right now. I think we need another location."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

In 2025 our love for this world has to become more ferocious.

We cannot bottle up our righteous fury at forces who are knowing setting the world on fire and actually *want* it to burn because they think they will be safe.

Whether in their palaces in the sky or their palaces down here on earth.

I don't just adore cinema of the 90s, I'm in awe that it exists. Arguably the last liberal decade for creators at both the grassroots and blockbuster level, just insane stuff all around.

Put together a long @letterboxd.social list to canonize its excesses

towards a canon of 90s excess, cinema's most lawless decade
the intersection of boundary pushing indies, reckless genre programmers, high concept (low morals) studio fare, freewheeling family films and just about anything else that could get screen time nu hol...

Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need.
