As news that 2/5 of the “aid” allowed into Gaza is truckloads of body bags & the UN warns 14,000 babies are going to die in the next 48hrs without immediate intervention, I turn once again to social media - where thousands are begging for their lives.

The simple answer for why Funko failed is private equity.
They were bought by a private equity firm (and later sold to another).
Everything private equity touches ends up degraded or destroyed.
They squeeze every dollar out and leave the desiccated corpse for someone else to deal with.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.
It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.
It's 233 pages.

literally every Black artist was affected by racism. every single one. racism is a totalizing ideology and force. it affects everyone. some people are still successful despite it, but it affects them.
again, this shouldn't be controversial.

Like there are plenty of Black artists who were victims of racism and had to be unearthed years later, or worse yet, are forgotten about. An artist who was topping the charts and winning Grammys during The Beatles heyday isn’t one of them.
