President Trump pardons Hall of Famer Joe Klecko and four other former NFL players Trump pardoned Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon for crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking.

I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.

Watched Sinners, yesterday.

The very Best movie i have watched since, i dunno, Mad Max Fury Road?

There are Very few movies, recently, almost none, to be honest, that gave me the push to keep telling stories, to keep My voice to "do that, but, Me, my voice".

Sinners, like Fury Road, does.

There is another war Israel is waging โ€“ one that is not making headlines In the occupied West Bank, Israel has mobilised all military and colonial means to make Palestinian life impossible.

Israel is continuing to escalate its illegal military occupation in the Palestinian West Bank.

Israelโ€™s goal is to make conditions unlivable for Palestinians in order to steal their land.

If you don't love your comic you can't expect anyone else to. So get that notion of "Cringe" out the door, bury any thoughts of "For the Audience", douse the flames of "Someone else already did this--" and go forth with all the WILD AND UNTAMED love to INVIGORATE your craft

The Congresswoman Criminalized for Visiting ICE Detainees LaMonica McIver went to tour an immigration jail in her district. Now she faces seventeen years in prison.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them.

Now Iโ€™m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think Iโ€™ll back down, they are wrong.

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is โ€œDick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddamโ€. You never forget the scent.

I installed switches on my car's dash that don't do anything.
When someone gets in my car I look them in the eye, say "buckle up," and start flipping switches in what appears to be a purposeful order.
Then I'll drive like a grandma while refusing to answer any questions about the switches

Art and writing is a form of protest. It is a form of empowerment. It is part of being human.

That is why you write when the world is on fire.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.

Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

What this administration is doing is accelerating and building on what already existed. This is disorienting, I know. We have to do what we can to protect each other locally while we also seriously address the foundational issues. This country has to disempower policing. I hope people understand now

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Yearโ€™s Eve. And like Renรฉe Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need yโ€™all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

UN Charter Article 2(4) is a core principle of international law. It prohibits all states from the threat/use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any other state, banning war & coercion except self-defense or UN Security Council authorization.

The US attack on Venezuela is neither an act of self defence nor does it have UN Security Council authorization. It is therefore totally illegal and a breach of the UN covenants the US has agreed to uphold as a Member State.

Trump's declaration that US oil companies are going to take over Venezuelan oil production reveals the true motive of this attack: seizure of the largest oil reserves in the world. Trump apologists can spin all they want - but this is clearly illegal, hypocritical and dangerous.

Maybe this reveals why Trump has been so hesitant to hold Putin to account for his invasion of Ukraine. The US can have no credibility upholding international law and the rights of nations when it blatantly violates those principles itself.

So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio making it absolutely clear Cuba is next in their crosshairs.

Itโ€™s incredible to hear Rubio say Venezuela was โ€œcolonizedโ€ by Cubans โ€” as the United States decapitates its government and claims itโ€™s becoming an occupying power to steal the countryโ€™s oil wealth.
