American #Theatre is a hot mess, but until we reconcile it's systemic fault lines, ain't nothin' gonna change. I've diagrammed the prevailing model poisoning non-profit theatre in the US. This is a white paper. It's also a call to arms. #TheEmptyTriangle

The most important thing to remember about Venezuela is that Donald Trump is a pedophile who is desperate for us to talk about anything other than his best friend Jeffrey Epstein

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

MAGA really doesn’t like the Trump, Putin, and Elon Musk floats at the carnival parade in Germany.

My hats off to the Germans!

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're not booing your teams. We're not booing your players. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.

And we're insulted. And we're angry. But we're Canadian. Which means we're going to stand up for each other. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.

Trump’s rants makes so more sense when you give him a 3rd grader’s voice

Not on this hellscape much anymore, but we are calling and writing and making dumb little protest animations… Find us on YouTube https://t.co/NVqhGNSc1P

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is a five alarm fire.

The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk.

Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.

This should not be a partisan issue.

I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway.

What the actual fuck?

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

Opinion: In electing Trump, Americans showed they are fed up with — and rejected - higher education's ideas, opinions, and positions. https://t.co/7QmBl3TzXo

Dear @nytimes : Fixed it.

[Lady Playwright @LadyPlaywright]

how we got here, &what we need to be on the look out for as we move forward.
I’m fighting a lot of anxiety & rage & depression this week, but I think these ingredients can make for fine fuel. The risk of course, is burnout and surrender. But I’ve never been good at giving up ❤️

[Lady Playwright @LadyPlaywright]

Things are looking very bleak, friends. We will all have some difficult decisions to make. I HIGHLY recommend reading ON FREEDOM, and ON TYRANNY (if you haven’t already). No matter who you voted for, both books will give you helpful language to help make sense of where we are-

Currently exploring threads and blue sky. Would love to keep in touch with all the amazing #theatremakers. Same user name, folx. #theatre #plays #playwright

No one understands this moment and how we got here better than @carolecadwalla.

If ever there was a “must read” essay, this is it.

Trans folx just want to pee in peace. Stop scapegoating them when the problem is the fucking patriarchy and a government built by slave-owning white men to protect slave-owning white men.

[Lady Playwright @LadyPlaywright]

People upset about Transwomen using women’s bathrooms pretend that public bathrooms are otherwise safe. The only safe bathroom is the one in your home. To be safe in public spaces, we need to ban together with the other vulnerable folx who can’t piss w/out fear of attack.

[Lady Playwright @LadyPlaywright]

The truth is, there is no safeguard to prevent ANYONE of mal-intent from entering any public bathroom. You want to feel safe, address the fact that violence against women is so pervasive & acceptable in this country that women themselves are blind to the root cause of our anxiety
