The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:

Last comment before I watch the show: it's impossible to overstate how much of a betrayal of the book it will be if they make Cathy a complicated, sympathetic, wounded character. Flat characters are okay. Cathy is a flat character. She is evil/psychopathic. That's the point.
happy mother’s day to palestinian, congolese, sudanese, yemenis mothers who are carrying their families through fear, loss and displacement while still finding ways to give warmth, hope, and care ❤️🩹

This is more than anything that anyone else has ever done for the history of labour.
Corporations are not worried enough.
This is direct action like how Luigi made CEO's aware of their mortality.
A worker in Ontario, California sets his company’s warehouse on fire and has a message for the CEO:
“There goes your inventory. All you had to do was pay us enough to fucking live.”
Expect to see more of this as people struggle to survive under our decaying capitalist system.
It’s kind of insane that we’re all lucky enough to live on this insignificant blue ball floating in an endless void that can somehow keep us alive indefinitely and yet a huge chunk of people want to ruin it forever in the name of an economic concept that we made up ourselves
An Amazon data center in Oregon went online in 2011. It has since poisoned “the deepest reaches of the local aquifer,” & is causing cancer/rare diseases.
“He noticed a rise in bizarre medical conditions among the county’s 45,000 residents, linked to toxins in the local water.”
Fyi - misogynistic smear campaigns against celebrity women are a form of social conditioning. You think it doesn’t matter because you think celebrities exist in a separate world with no bearing on the one we live in. Nope! This behavior impacts our broader culture and reinforces existing prejudices and harmful double standards
Endless propaganda has convinced Americans that bombs dropping in the Middle East is “normal.” As if those families don’t have jobs, school, hopes & dreams. As if every life lost isn’t someone’s entire universe.
Geographical luck. That’s the only difference between you & them.
Edward Norton: “The anxiety of these times is particularly intense right now. We know the world is effed up in ways that are unprecedented in our lifetimes. We live in this unbelievable onslaught of information. We see genocide being livestreamed to us. We see American citizens being killed by paramilitary people in our own streets for standing in solidarity with their neighbors. We’re seeing Epstein’s abuses titrated into us on a daily basis”
