Godard gets it. The point at which artists imagine their work is more important than or separate from people’s lives is the point they become arseholes. And almost powerless, incidentally. Abandoning real power voluntarily, for pats on the head.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I bet if people took half the time they spend on socials and learned how to use photoshop or illustrator or how to code or a writing class or actually read the book AI scraped they would feel much more fulfilled and be better at the thing they like! It's fun to learn!

Confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi, one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000.

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Every single one of them is risking their lives against death squads to prove that the fascist vision of America, a country where we hate everyone different than ourselves, is a fucking lie

Yep. It's the correct term. That it makes people uncomfortable is more reason to use accurate language.

THESE DEMOCRATS JUST VOTED WITH REPUBLICANS TO GIVE ICE MORE MONEY > JARED GOLDEN (202) 225-6306 > HENRY CUELLAR (202) 225-1640 › DON DAVIS (202) 225-3101 > TOM SUOZZI (202) 225-3335 > LAURA GILLEN (202) 225-5516 > VICENTE GONZALEZ (202) 225-2531 > MARIE GLUESENKAMP PEREZ (202) 225-3536

While ICE is killing innocent people, teargassing babies and pastors, and kidnapping our neighbors to ship them off to foreign torture prisons, seven House Democrats just voted with the GOP to give the regime’s secret police even more funding.

Casual reminder that a bill must pass *both* the House and the Senate (and get signed by POTUS) to become law.

The DHS / ICE appropriations bill passed the House.

It still needs to pass the Senate with 60 votes.

That vote will be *NEXT WEEK*

Call your Senators.🔥📞🔥

It’s such simple messaging. It’s logical. It’s moral. It’s persuasive.

We have the cutest mayor.

Opinion | In Minneapolis, I Glimpsed a Civil War

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

There is still one more holiday horror under the tree for #horrorsuggestsaturday. THE SACRIFICE GAME (2023) was a twisted watch that makes a holiday break into a survival to see the next day. Directed by @jennwexler.bsky.social #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam

It’s a Christmas edition of #UterusHorror! Be sure to go to @certifiedforgot.bsky.social to read all about THE SACRIFICE GAME and how it finally gives us the UH movie ending we want.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Tonight!!

NYC: Come see our little holiday horror on the big screen w/ intro by @jennwexler.bsky.social!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

@jennwexler.bsky.social and I were lucky enough to be handed a copy of SCREAMING & CONJURING by author @clarkcollis.bsky.social himself!

But don’t be too jealous — pick up your own copy of this essential and entertaining look at the last 3 decades of horror movies, in bookstores today!

1000 Women in Horror From the silent era until today, the nightmares that have haunted our screen have been sculpted and embodied by women, but many of those artists have gone....

🚨 Big news 5 years in the making: some friends and I made a documentary! 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR hits Shudder soon, directed by Donna Davies and inspired by my 2020 book of the same name

If you are in Australia, I hope you can make it to the world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival

For SUPERMAN weekend, here's my review of James Gunn's shot across the deck.
