This one is for the real architects of this country. For every underdog, radical dreamer, and diamond in the rough.
For the migrant worker. The cook, the mechanic, the poet, the teacher. The farmer. The storyteller. The waitress. The nurse.
hell yes to this acceptance speech from Qween Jean, who just became the first openly trans person to ever win a Tony
"We are here for the legacy of queer people. Trans people, we have to take up space. We have to shift the paradigm...the world right now is deeply, deeply combating so many ailments, and we know as a society that when we come together we can make real, permanent change."
Qween won Best Costume Design for a Musical for Cats: The Jellicle Ball
holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this
"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."
—Ali Louis Bourzgui, winning Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys

Apparently, The New Yorker ran a story with an illustration of Wunmi Mosaku that was obviously not intended to represent her well, so I redid it real quick in a similar style. Took 15 minutes & a love of Black women ❤️
@ItsAllRod@passenger57_@Dreamdefenders ironically enough your substack proves my point. protests + organization + strikes + boycotts + power mapping = disruption. My critique is that many modern protests never make that transition, yet are treated as if they’re already disruptive.
@passenger57_@LianaPlease I understand both sentiments, but I do disagree. Protests work, things are happening after the protest, and new strategies are being created & used effectively. Here’s a Substack on more of what I’m saying. https://t.co/D91WANQDoo
It’s from @Dreamdefenders
In a new post, President Trump is absolving ICE agents for shooting and killing a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis.
His evidence?
A slowed down version of the clip in this post.
It does not absolve the agent.
