Director of feature films NOW, FORAGER & LA BARRACUDA.

[Nida Allam ☀️ @NidaAllam]

As Chair of the BOCC I was invited again to meet with @KamalaHarris as she arrived in NC last week.

Every opportunity with her I have used my limited time to advocate for Gaza & the West Bank.
This time I was surprised.

The Washington Post editorial board should not resign.

They should publish the endorsement and make Bezos fire them.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Not sure who is making the argument that ‘four more years of this will fix things’; the argument being made by AOC, Ilhan, Bernie, and others on the left is that we have a (tiny) chance of ending this under one candidate and zero chance under the other. That’s the argument. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@MthrJacquiT Welcome home, we love you Micah! 🐈‍⬛

Some Jewish voters are upset Harris chose Walz over Josh Shapiro

Many voters don't know that Walz wrote his masters thesis on how to improve education on the Holocaust. As governor, he pushed for a mandate to teach about the Holocaust in Minnesota schools

Shout out to the staffers in Delaware who just lived through the most stressful five weeks in campaign history, then flipped every piece of branding and content on a dime, raised $100m, recruited 58,000 volunteers, and generally just lit the internet on fire for Kamala Harris.

@JacobAShell @MikeConnollyMA And um, Baker and Weld were GOP!

@adhdjesse, I pre-ordered #extrafocus thru https://t.co/6PHgATojRI, but I forgot to check the shipping address, and it just got delivered to my friend’s previous address in Seattle. (I live in Boston!) #oops #adhdtax

[Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn @JonathanCohn]

Would love to hear @SenMarkey and @SenWarren join the calls for a ceasefire.

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

I am disappointed that media outlets, including where I write, pushed articles that say “the left” celebrated the killing of Israeli Jews, especially ones without examples, nor acknowledgments of great grief from the left for Israelis & Palestinians alike. Here's what I've seen:

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Here’s what went down: we just won a clean 45 day gov extension, stripped GOP’s earlier 30% cuts to Social Security admin etc, staved off last minute anti-immigrant hijinks, and averted shutdown (for now).

People will get paychecks and MTG threw a tantrum on the way out. Win-win

of all the things that never happened this never happened the most

If you missed this three years ago, do yourself a favor and read the saga today!

[becca 🌙 @BornToBeBecca]

long shot but if a boy just asked you to pick him up from jfk airport today (jetblue flight from raleigh) HE CHEATED ON YOU THIS WEEKEND HE IS BRAGGING ABOUT IT IN THE SEAT BEHIND ME ON THIS PLANE

[Sophy Romvari @SophyRomvari]

People saying we need more real indie movies — what do you think an “indie” movie is? Most of the time they are films built on budgets scraped together by any means possible where nobody gets paid. What we need are systems that allow independent ideas to be financed.

[Carlos Aguilar @Carlos_Film]

The headline shouldn’t be “How Hollywood Strikes Will Disrupt Festivals.” They should be, “How Billionaires Are Disrupting Festivals By Refusing to Negotiate a Fair Deal With Creators.” Put the blame where it belongs.

[Christian Smalls @Shut_downAmazon]

As Prime day approaches this year for Amazon we’re coming together in a historical fashion from the Studios to the Warehouse. As companies like Amazon refuse to negotiate contracts with its workers for better pay and working conditions we’re asking ALL Prime users to support our efforts by supporting or donating to our efforts! Show up for workers struggles as we call Amazon out for the crimes it’s continuing to continue by not listening to its workforce!

My pet theory is that when people who have dedicated their lives to the work of justice die, they get a stint as the beloved pet of some indulgent queer people if they would like. As evidence of this I present Francis, surely a warrior of light having a well-deserved rest:
