At long last, Compensation, Zeinabu irene Davis's only dramatic feature to date, is opening theatrically, at @filmlinc.bsky.social tomorrow; I write about it every chance I get because it yields new treasures with each viewing: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The Theatrical Release of “Compensation” Is Cause for Celebration
Zeinabu irene Davis’s 1999 feature, a century-spanning vision of two deaf Black women in Chicago, is among the greatest independent films but has rarely been screened.

Good afternoon! Today is a great day to stall the dismantling of the Dept of Ed! Tell the senators on the HELP committee to vote NO on McMahon. These 4 are most likely to flip: Susan Collins 202-224-2523 Lisa Murkowski 202-224-6665 Jon Husted 202-224-3353 Rand Paul 202-224-4343

I am 100% here to fight down to the line for trans folks, every time. But I am begging you guys to see disabled people as people, are also under attack and worth fighting for. We are not your collateral damage until they get to the "real rights." We are people. Both/and.

I’ve been calling my reps and erroneously thought maybe I’m just speaking to the choir, but not so fast. Padilla and Schiff scored a D- and a D here. Keep calling Californians! Make your voice known! (Also, Adam Schiff’s machine seems to always be full and not taking messages for some reason.)

I designed the captions for this and Shoshannah and I were constantly excited about “fixing history” and remarking that captions should have always been like this!

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

"The difference between affirmative hiring for people with disabilities and affirmative hiring for people who have been disadvantaged by systems of discrimination is simply that Republicans often don’t acknowledge the latter exists." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Trump’s DEI push doesn’t level the playing field. It digs trenches.
The new president has quickly rolled back decades of efforts to combat systemic discrimination.
