@screendrafts.bsky.social finally listening to the WS Anderson draft. As always, Jordan is my spirit animal. BUT i vehemently disagree with the boosters. Mortal Kombat is number one. With a fireball

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

Awesome episode. Tenebrae is too low for me even if it was number 4. It’s that at 1 and deep red at 2 for me. Disagree with @daveschilling.bsky.social but loved the convo

New York's crooked mayor won't be held accountable for likely criminal violations because the U.S.'s crooked president tried to leverage that accountability to do his own crooked shit and a court had to intervene. Democracy at its finest.

I truly believe that if James Dean had lived longer, he would’ve been Val Kilmer. A dedicated artist who felt deeply, thirsted for truth, & devoted himself completely to his art. My first real comprehension of the idea of a movie star. Farewell to a real genius. #RIPValKilmer

Why should anyone be surprised that Trump's saying he's going to have a 3rd term? And why wouldn't he think it possible? He does nothing but strong arm dictator shit, and media's message back to him is, "We beg you master, don't be displeased with us."

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.
