Miller: Robert De Niro is a sad, broken old man who is mostly enraged because he hasn't made anything worth watching in at least 30 years. Probably the longest string of flops, failures, embarrassments. This man has been degrading himself on camera with one horrific film after another for my entire adult life and he is not taken seriously by anybody. Not by his family, friends, community. He is a shell of a man and everybody disregards everything he says.

β€œTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Assata’s autobiography is radicalizing. It’s one of the most important texts in the education of a revolutionary. Start with & center Black struggle & you’ll never go wrong.

What It's Like to Have Your Period in Prison Even at a women’s prison, your menstruation care needs may not be met.

In a recent piece, Kelsey Dodson shares what it's like to menstruate in prison. One woman says she was forced to bleed through her underwear, her pants, and finally her white blanket during an hour-long count. This piece was co-published with @theguardian.com. Please give it a read.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

If we are going to talk about legendary wrestlers of the 1980s who are no longer with us, I’d much rather talk about Roddy Piper.

An iconic character and larger than life presence, Roddy was a good man, too.

He also courageously went public about Pat Patterson being a sexual predator. (1/3) 🧡🀼

Reminder: we don't need Ghislaine Maxwell to get to the truth.

It's sitting in files inside the DOJ that they could release TODAY.

She is a liar, a child rapist, and a sex trafficker.

Blanche is meeting with her to buy her silence, nothing more.

We tend to assume boredom is something to be avoided, but in centuries past you would go wandering through the woods or stare at the walls of a cave for an hour and accidentally invent beer or a new religion or write Alice in Wonderland.

Opinion | We Study Fascism at Yale. We’re Leaving the U.S. The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. β€œWe’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. β€œAnd what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”
