I know we’ve seen a lot of corrupted takes on #Superman, from Bizarro to Injustice to Homelander to Superboy Prime to Brighrburn to Ultraman to Overman.

But a restored or reformed bad Superman? The closest I can think of is Kingdom Come, but not really. I’m interested in a redemption arc Superman.

So btw, fellas, if a woman blocks you on all social media and refuses to speak to you, LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE.

At #sdcc πŸ“š I witnessed a male librarian, who is blocked by my female colleague for his long history of problematic and just creepy behavior. But he showed up to her panel.πŸ‘‡

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

I am staring at every single goddamn LGB without the T shithead and liberal who told trans people to calm down and that we were being dramatic over how bad things would get with an intensity and cold, hard fury that would make a disappointed parent go "jesus christ"

When #Superman is not available, we have to be the #JusticeGang. Smart, confident, and strong.

This is fascism, if anyone is curious. It's not on the cusp of fascism, or floating alongside fascism, or fascism-adjacent. It's fascism.

DC friends & neighbors, make sure this week you're taking the time for mental health by riding your bike, going for a run, packing a picnic, mocking these fascists, asking them why they're serving this brutal ignorant regime, telling them you bet their families are proud, and giving them the finger.

So, the PedOTUS invaded DC.

How many children did he SA just according to the Epstein list? Let’s face it, the actual number is far higher.

Notice as well that all of the Don’t Tread On Me group are cheering this invasion? Wonder why…

All of this is thanks to the Republican Party.

Marijuana "does bad for the children," says Trump.

I have been visiting DC for 45 years and stayed in a variety of accommodations in many different parts of the city. I made big use of the Metro and walked lots of places.

I don’t need any fingers to count how many times I’ve felt unsafe because it’s never happened.

Without hyperbole, new media must report: Trump is seizing control of the national capital. Anything less is journalistic malpractice.

Every story quoting Trump saying this is to "rescue our nation’s capital from crime" needs to note that violent crime in D.C. is down 26%, murders are down 12%, juvenile arrests are down 20%, and ask who will get hurt from a domestic military deployment and what this "crackdown" is really about

I think this may be the inflection point. Trump is seizing control of the national capital. Certainly, this is authoritarian. But it tips to dictatorial.

Trump's team and Kash Patel are actually invoking "child traffickers" with a straight face. #EpsteinFiles

What horrid hypocrasy that they're invoking increases in "child victims" when they still won't release the #EpsteinFiles.

Taking a stand against Trump’s emerging ICE police state is not just about standing up for immigrants and protecting our communities. It’s a stand against fascism. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-you-and-your-neighbors-can-become

Trump is acting like a dictator and trying to get the conversation focused on DC instead of Epstein, but also, by doing this, he's refocusing attention on January 6 and the fact that he pardoned all those criminals

Trump is correct in that this IS "a tragic emergency." But not the way he means.

Why is Trump invoking #transgender and #trans issues in a speech that is supposed to be about the supposed safety of #WashingtonDC? It's horrid.
