There will never be another one like Tammie and, for that, I am heartbroken.

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

β€œThirty-four years ago, a script arrived like nothing I’d ever read.

Thirty-four years ago, I auditioned for Mr. Orange with Keitel and Tarantino.

Thirty-four years ago, my agent called to say her other client for the part.

Thirty-four years later I’m still recovering.”

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

"Perhaps most disconcerting of all is the
pressure applied to the platforms to enforce the
Government’s new role as arbiter of truth,
imposing a new federal orthodoxy upon citizen
speech online. That plan clashes with the Court’s
clear declaration that government may not
'prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics,
nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion.'”

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

U.S. Senate: Contacting U.S. Senators

Cassidy told RFK, β€œWe’re denying people vaccines." Kennedy replied β€œYou’re wrong.”

Folks, even if you called your two senators about RFK already - & esp. if you haven't - please ☎️ their DC office today & say we need RFK, Jr. GONE. Yes, even call the Repubs.

Find their contact info below:

Exactly this point. It takes so much repeat listening (or watching) to be sure that you're saying exactly why you think this isn't good.

Also, the needing to be liked thing really grates at me because that's a different job entirely.
