Erin Overbey @erinoverbey.bsky.social · 12hso this happened. I’d like to congratulate Guillermo del Toro & Digger screenwriter Sabina Berman for recognizing great writing when they see it, lol! Srsly, though, this was nice & I appreciate them reposting my review of Iñárritu’s film ✍️ #Digger 140

Erin Overbey @erinoverbey.bsky.social · 08/10/2026If ppl start unraveling over whether the protesters should have chosen this vigil as their moment or if it’s foolhardy for ppl who care passionately about the Palestinian cause to direct their frustrations at Mamdani—then you’re literally doing the GOP’s work of diverting from their own failures 120
Erin Overbey @erinoverbey.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Mamdani is building a foundation. He’s not “using” Palestinians for optics. Nobody takes a pro Palestinian stance thinking it’s going to win them any favors. But ppl have a right to keep pressing on arms sales & land settlements I honor protesters’ rights to speak out & Mamdani’s right to hear them 120
Erin Overbey @erinoverbey.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Here’s my take, fwiw: 1st NYC mayor to call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide 1st NYC mayor to call Netanyahu a war criminal 1st NYC mayor to honor Jews & Palestinians alike (in equal measure) Rome wasn’t built in a day (or 9 months) Illegal land sales & arms sales suck 171
