TV writer. Film producer. Husband. Guncle. Dog dad. Empath. My core beliefs are that “woke” means caring about human rights, and the fight for equality can be won with humor and joy.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better… -For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return. -Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

News anchor-turned politician Ms. Ahn Gwi-ryeong showed exceptional bravery during the South Korea martial law crisis, she confronted a soldier head on, grabbed his rifle, shamed him for usurping democracy and for confronting protestors while armed.

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.

Not enough people are talking about how Donald Trump's team continues to skirt federal law by failing to sign critical documents as required by the Presidential Transition Act.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night. We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is. It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump. 🧵

This is what I’ve been talking about, trying to be thoughtful about when to be outraged. It’s going to be a very long and very dark four years. Sometimes letting republicans fight with each other is going to be the only way. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/u...

Could’ve had
$25,000 to buy a house
$6,000 child credit
$50,000 business credit

But you went for the $1200 check that’s never happening. And now prices are going to go up $3000/year from tariffs alone, with no stimulus checks in sight.

NEW: Trump has tapped for his cabinet, two GOP legislators—Rubio & Stefanik—who have each confirmed that Putin attacked the 2016 election to help Trump. In 2020, Rubio even produced a 966-page report detailing this. So there's no hoax, and they know Trump's lying. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump cabinet picks Rubio and Stefanik once confirmed Putin attacked the 2016 election to help Trump
So much for the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”. Idiots.

CNN's Dana Bash says she doesn't know "what side of the aisle" the neo-Nazis who marched in Columbus this weekend were on. Maybe this undated photo of Anthony Altick, founder of the neo-Nazi group in question, will help her figure it out.
Photograph shows a white man from the shoulders up. He has a light brown patchy beard and is wearing a backwards black ballcap and black T-shirt. Behind him are a crowd of people facing away from him and looking towards a stage. On the stage are two unidentified white men with grey hair and wearing dark slacks and white shirts. Also on stage is former President Donald Trump wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt and red tie. The setting appears to be inside of an area. The off-white metal ceiling and light fixtures can be seen at the top of the photo.

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
