So my daughter is the face of a nationwide Congressional PSA on teenage mental health that launched today. She was chosen based on her advocacy stemming from our @imagecomics.com comic, A HAUNTED GIRL (co-created by her, me, & @marcolorenzana.bsky.social)! sacks-appeal.beehiiv.com/p/from-a-hau...

MANY people came to my table at the NYCC and thanked me for making noise and organizing around political issues. I thanked them back and said I'm just constitutionally incapable of keeping my mouth shut, which is true! But the real sauce: I'm part of multiple communities that make me braver.

In 2012, I went to a screening of The Wrath of Kahn and Q&A with Walter Koenig to celebrate his Walk of Fame star. He talked about the illegal scams he ran to fund his early acting days in NYC. Like staging an accident at a building under construction. Way past the statute of limitations, he said.

It’s late October. People are voting right now. If you cannot deliver a convincing, full throated endorsement of the Democratic nominee in the potentially deciding race for the Senate, stay the fuck off television

His memory will continue to be a blessing.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Abolish ICE.

I feel like he missed a few School House Rock songs in the 70s.

if you say so!

Serbia defeated a 14 year regime backed by Putin. Brazil stopped a takeover supported by the richest techno-oligarchs on the planet and meddling by the American government. Hungary finally ousted Viktor Orbán earlier this year. They did it by voting. Never tell me voting is useless.

this is honestly invigorating—maybe because the US far right has been on the rise most of my life, maybe because it suggests why the far right being unpopular is not enough. mostly: because it gives us something we can do

gotta say hats off to all the writers pretending to do profiles of Silicon Valley CEOs just so they can add that one same paragraph, every single time, that demonstrates they're all insane freaks who do not know or like their own kids.

As I've said, this is either an impeachable offense that Democrats act on or it's a new precedent.

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

Lula has won a fourth term in spite of Meta, after Brazil’s electoral court had to order platforms to stop throttling his reach while they boosted his Trump-backed opponent. Big Tech tried to rig this but the Brazilian people had the final say ✊

The greatest orator of our age. It’s like the Lincoln-Douglas debates if Lincoln debated himself and talked mostly about asses.

Using the Presidency to manufacture himself billions in tax breaks through golf courses. Scam artist doesn’t even begin to describe this President. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

Trump should be impeached — and real accountability will require more than impeachment.

If you’re thinking of buying an Audi, don’t forget that an Audi executive appeared at a Trump rally this weekend to try to boost an American dictatorship. Make your car-buying decision accordingly.

173 million people in the U.S. live within 20 miles of an operative data center — a number that would increase to 196 million if all the data centers that are under construction and a portion of those planned are built.

I feel no need to pay money to buy a new Spiegelman book that uses A.I. or to purchase a ticket to a new Scorsese film that uses A.I. I'm perfectly happy to continue to enjoy my well-thumbed copy of Maus and to keep watching my Blu-ray of Goodfellas.

The art director of the New Yorker being an "AI whisperer" should be a red flag for all artists who might work for the New Yorker going forward. The Spiegelman thing is a whole other bummer.

A bunch of Indivisible groups think that Meta's throttling their reach in the lead up to Election Day. If you're on IG, check this out and share and do the same for their posts. www.instagram.com/p/De11XhuRwJS/

Heartbreaking.

NEW: Trump is already working to undermine the midterms, most ominously by filing lawsuits likely aimed at laying a foundation to challenge results or contest certification after Election Day. And administration officials say there could be more to come. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Just over two hours today that you can go to vote today in NYC and today is "Golden Day" - which means you can still register to vote today (last chance!) in NYC and vote! Let's. Get. This. Done!

Early voting is now possible throughout the country. Most crowded I’ve ever seen my local polling place on an early voting day. Which is a good sign. Turn out. Stand up. Please vote like our lives depend on it. Because they do.

Trump’s attempt to overturn any results of the 2026 election he dislikes took a sharp turn toward authoritarianism when his DOJ asked a federal court to block certification of the Senate election in Alaska if the Republican incumbent narrowly loses. Here's what you should know.

What’s going on between Trump and Putin? Why are they calling each other humanitarians? I explain why that’s the the point and the flattening of language and words under authoritarians.

People on the ground deeply worried about Michigan. The unprecedented money and hate might be tilting it. Would be devastating if El Sayed loses. Hopefully enough people come to their senses.

The high cost of racism.

I wish the New York Times‘ news side read the New York Times’ editorials.

Trump thinks he gets to decide who serves in his Congress. Let's disabuse him of that notion.

One week from today I'll be at LA Comic Con! Looking forward to visiting the City of Angels (though not THE Angels as they're in Anaheim, but I digress.) Come and find me if you're there.

So proud of Bruce, who deserves all the honors. An absolute gem of an activist and a gem of a friend. www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/li...

Early voting in NYC starts TOMORROW, y'all! You know I'm gonna be there because I'm always MAD as HELL and voting makes me feel BETTER. I wish we still had the big fucking mechanical levers because those felt GREAT to pull when you're MAD but it's still GREAT to VOTE! Info here: vote.nyc

It's a Klan rally.

The level of hatred and harassment that Trump is directing at Ilhan Omar is appalling. He's inciting some disturbed person to commit violence against her. The entire Republican Party already has blood on its hands, and it's eager for more.
