Modern-Day Robber Baron: The Sins of Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman Blackstone CEO and billionaire Stephen Schwarzman has been a key player in the worsening global housing affordability crisis. Activists want to rein him in.

I can hear the centrists already. Aping media narratives about the recent killing of a Blackstone CEO, a woman who happened to give birth twice when she was not busy buying up single-family homes to raise rents for working class moms. www.housingisahumanright.org/modern-day-r...

Trans Forming Liberty by Amy Sherald. This painting will not be exhibited at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery because the institution cowered to the Fascist in Chief. Compliance in advance makes this coup even worse for everyone.

It’s been great to see clips of an extensive interview with Don Kilhefner on TikTok. Prior to Stonewall, the homophile movement focused on respectability, peaceful protest, and projecting an image of queerness that was palatable to hetero power structures. The GLF said “no more” to these strategies.

Texas Poised to Spend $6.5 Billion More on Border Security—Even as Crossings Plummet Despite record-low border crossings and renewed federal immigration enforcement, Gov. Abbott's Operation Lone Star keeps growing, the Texas Tribune reported

Texas has a lot of money it could spend on flood warning sirens. But its so-called leaders consistently spend giant budgets on enforcing fascist policies, on stolen land. Borders are fake.

Yes. You can always reconfirm with a hump day joke.

If you’re documenting the ICE atrocities, make sure to back up your data.

Don’t assume it’s safe in the cloud or on social media.

Keep a copy (or multiple copies).

I also strongly recommend journaling what you witnessed by hand if possible.

Tell your story. The world is watching.

When you become chronically ill, you have to grieve your health AND your loss of faith in medical system.

You have to grieve the comfort you had when you believed that going to the hospital would make you “better”.

You have to learn to accept that more often than not, there’s no help

Clearly she has range. Nothing against horror (well I do have PTSD so have to watch it minimally). I do hope she starts to get opportunities for all kinds of films, streaming series, plays, etc.

They’re both giving free concerts now? Anything less is performative to me. Swift never courted, dressed like, or seemed to sing directly to the working classes like he did, so my expectations of her are less. Springsteen blatantly appealed to them for years. Before he became a multi-billionaire.

A TikToker theorized that the SmokeStack twins were instrumental in the St. Valentines Day massacre in Chicago. I think this was based on the year and the line in the film spoken by Mary (I think). She guesses correctly that the twins played the Italian and the Irish mobsters against each other.

Given that women and other marginalized folks are fighting for basic humyn rights, especially body autonomy, this seems like a sexist headline. And I adored Charlotte’s arc on the original show. Did “inspired” take up too much space instead of “made?”

In 1995 Jill Sobule kissed a girl in a still-iconic folksy pop song. Thirteen years later KP did a cherry Chapstick ad in the guise of a girl-kissing song…. so maybe a long-ass time ago?

Interactive Map: Gender-Diverse Cultures On nearly every continent, and for all of recorded history, thriving cultures have recognized, revered, and integrated more than two genders.

I should be doing paperwork. Instead I’m revisiting Muxe and The Secret of the River. Researching other pre-binary genders worldwide led to this amazing map, cocreated by @badlylickedbear.bsky.social

What was the heart of the Eleusinian mysteries? Some researchers think it was a psychedelic concoction of barley and an early form of lysergic acid naturally occurring in ergot. They go on to suggest that early Christians adopted the ritual and adapted the recipe for their bread-and-wine rituals.
