UNTIL ITโ€™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 Trumpโ€™s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

My brother was born nine years and one day before me. I think it was a matter of time zones that made the day different. Nature is weird.

I could not encourage you more to consider doing something if youโ€™re facing burn out or even feelings of helplessness and are in LA and looking for work in this garbage market. Itโ€™s the most life affirming thing Iโ€™ve ever done. Harder than hell โ€” but so meaningful.

Going into my second year - I got given a bigger a classroom which unfortunately came with almost no resources. Virtually everything in that room was donated by friends or sourced from my own collection. The Amazon wishlist contains some of our remaining needs.

Still collecting supplies for my classroom if youโ€™re feeling generous. If you havenโ€™t heard โ€” after 20+ years as a writer I was burned out & needed to do something to give back in this bleak timeline. So Iโ€™m teaching theater in LAโ€™s inner city at an LAUSD school . www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I think we can all agree that the best comic to give to first-time comics readers is HECTOR PLASM: HUNT THE BIGFOOT #1, coming in October from Image Comics

What happens if you donโ€™t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell theyโ€™ll say itโ€™s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think itโ€™s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like โ€œoh they took the idiot train to moronsvilleโ€

a person so serious about swimming that he doesnโ€™t realize high school and college events are done in short course yards which means they swim less distance & get a boost from extra turns, vs. Olympians in an Olympic pool, making boysโ€™ high school records also better than menโ€™s Olympic records

Are you ok with Trump spending $200,000,000 on a gold plated ballroom at the White House while also cutting school meals for millions of needy children and Medicaid for millions of poor Americans?

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.
