It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

I absolutely love this kind of protest (as well as all the other kinds).
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I wish men truly understood how often their peers only pretend to cultivate women's talents because they want to fuck us. I am a short Canadian nobody and it happened to me when I was starting out my screenwriting career no less than four times before I turned 26

We never acknowledge how masterfully white supremacist billionaires managed to destroy social media as an organizer tool and completely atomized us. Twitter & tiktok had to be sold. Meta already belonged to them and this app here is a poor man's Twitter but coded to prevent educating and organizing

FYI, if you're someone that likes to tuck into some Christmas TV movie rom-coms this time of year, I've directed two with Asian-American casts: A SUGAR & SPICE HOLIDAY (2020) can be streamed right on Lifetime's website (US only). A BIG FAT FAMILY CHRISTMAS (2022) is on Hallmark+ or Crave in Canada.
Four Christmas movies to know me by.
I have to go with the ones I directed, in between my main specialty genres of horror and crime and supernatural strangeness. (And there are only two.)

I was a kid that wore a fedora to high school but never had the swagger of this young man (nor did I ever stumble upon a jewel heist at an internationally famous museum)
Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

India's Women's Cricket World Cup triumph over South Africa yesterday is the triumphant culmination of decades of struggle against misogyny and a federation that gave the women's game zero support.
One occasion when sport is a force for good rather than a supporter of tyrannical oligarchies.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto
She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card
Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.
She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.
It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

I just saw a Sportsnet video where Nick Kypreos said the penalty on Anderson at the end of the Oilers Habs game was justified because players should set a better example to the kids watching. I shook my head. This is a sport where fist fighting is normal and the main sponsor is gambling.
