CROWN act isn't just about Black hair. It's fundamentally about providing protections against this kind of imperialist, racist, assimilationist violence

Not these people being mad at folks peacefully protesting Kavanaugh's house when abortion providers have had to wear body armor to work, vary routes to their jobs, and hire private security b/c antis would publish their photos, home addresses and phone numbers. With crosshairs!
In order for capitalism to work, you need a permanent underclass of who people work shitty jobs for no or little pay and live shorter, shitty lives, and you need them to pop out babies—babies you've forced them to create and birth—trapped in the same circumstance.
Like slavery.
this is still very much a society that just fully hates women
This is a perfect example of a costuming habit which drives me nuts: disregarding drape and fit in favor of contemporary tailoring.
Look where the shoulder seams are.
Women's clothing used to be MUCH boxier and fit bigger, and period projects of this era rarely reflect it.
Oncologist sent me to ER. One of my chemo drugs likely caused heart damage.
I am waiting to be admitted and be seen by a cardiologist.
The hospital isn't working anywhere near peak efficiency b/c of—you guessed it— unvaxed covid patients clogging up everything. I hate it here.
Can't wait until "Stacey Abrams" becomes a verb.
As in, someone please come Stacey Abrams my home state of North Carolina so they stop sending would-be Nazis to Congress
They really did act like women getting IUDs in 2016 were hysterical
Here in America you see, we like our pandemics like we like our wars: miserable and endless for no good reason
Exactly how does Marsha think she's able to be a senator
Dean Rashad,
Is this how you're going to react when a Howard CoFA student tells you they were assaulted by another student if that student happens to be someone you like and admire?
Because what you're telling Howard women rn is that you don't care if they're raped. twitter.com/PhyliciaRashad

This rather savvy usage of the public bully pulpit, in a nutshell, is the argument for continuing to have and televise SOTU.
Those men are PISSED. Dark Brandon forced a concession on live television.
Last chemo treatment in eight hours.
Wide awake. 🥺
Jeff: fuck I'm going to space.
Mackenzie: gives money to the Apollo Theatre, Ballet Hispanico, and shelters for domestic violence survivors.
No wonder they divorced.
Wait, Patriot Act has been cancelled? This is such a shame. Hasan was doing something needed and special, and spoke with such authority and clarity about issues centering South Asians.
This sucks.
Honk For Jesus was so layered and clever and smart and it was not appreciated the way it should have been and I'm still mad about it. And maybe the best performance of Regina Hall's career. Just brilliant.
Abortion is not just a "women's issue."
It is an economic issue.
A class issue.
A civil rights issue.
A medical privacy issue.
A race issue.
You cannot just shove it away and hope for the best.
Now do the whole agency

Most people don't see what this kind of courage looks like. They see histrionics from folks who aren't actually oppressed all the time.
But Zelensky, who looks mad regular, is like, "pull up then, n—." With Ukrainian Wu Tang Clan around him. Scrappy af. Gotta respect that.
The snow is blowing horizontally and I can see exactly one man outside. He is with a very happy corgi who is losing their mind.
I keep thinking about the trajectory of my life had I been forced to give birth as an ill-equipped, unwilling and poor 21-year-old.
I most almost certainly would not be where I am now, but instead economically and professionally hobbled. Which is the whole point of these bills.
How nice for Michael Che never to have been denied the sanctity of his own body because of his gender.
How nice for him not to be judged and gaslit repeatedly because it is routine to treat an entire gender and their experiences with disregard and contempt.
How lovely for him.

Don't let the misinformed nattering of a few famously intransigent bigots fool you.
Historically, Black people and American Jews have been ride-or-dies in the fight for human and civil rights. We know from white supremacy.
Just because *you* are encountering information for the first time does not mean that information is new.

I wish we spent as much time talking about poverty PTSD as we do "we were poor but my parents made sure I had no idea! I never suspected a thing because we were so happy!" 😒
That wasn't gallantry last night.
That was narcissism.

Dave once told me, when he started doing more deconstructed shows, that he realized he didn't necessarily have to be funny to hold a crowd in his hand, he just had to be interesting.
You'd think an artist who realized that would see it in Hannah Gadsby, who is both.

This is basically like Spielberg getting an education in filmmaking on Universal's dime, going over budget and timelines because he was figuring it out as he went along.

Dan is saying that #GameofThrones was basically an expensive film school for he and Dave. For example, they had no idea how to work with costume designers, and it was a huge learning experience.
I know I tweet a lot about how dumb and miserable cancer treatment is (because it is), but I bought roller skates today because I know it's not going to feel like this forever.

Imagine witnessing what happened to Nick Cordero and his family, even if only from afar, and being like, "🤷🏻♀️ yeah, I'll risk giving that to my coworkers"
Watchmen is about trauma.
Jennifer's Body is about trauma.
Promising Young Woman is about trauma.
I May Destroy You is about trauma.
The problem isn't artists exploring this particular subject/theme. The problem is work defined by trauma and nothing else.

No more Black trauma films. Can we have a reprieve, please?
There are lots of talented, interesting artists who aren't rapists, homophobes, abusers, or apologists for them.
I'd rather talk about them.

This is not a solution. It's just more paternalism. Pregnant people shouldn't have to apply to their business daddies for money to obtain legal healthcare.
It's no one's business but their own.

I don't think this is silly at all.
First off, trans men who get pregnant also get abortions, and their experiences are perfectly valid.
Second, yes, it is in fact last time for cis men to be vocal about the many ways they benefit from abortion.
