From the bottom of my heart: Thank you.

I am so proud of the movement we built. Together, we redefined the politics of possible in the Deep South – but our fight is far from over. #gapol pic.twitter.com/PV9hBM1gQ7

Georgia stood by and let a man steal an election, while Florida just plain got it wrong: 

Well, things turned out a little differently than we had hoped, but I by no means feel defeated. That’s because I’ve had the privilege of serving the people of Florida for most of my life. It’s been a rewarding journey and a very humbling experience. No one could be more blessed. pic.twitter.com/aGIf5nFcyZ

We are going to keep fighting. We will keep working. And in the end, I believe that we will win. I am so thankful to each and every one of you. pic.twitter.com/fWCKQysGmZ

George Takei, the out 81-year-old Star Trek icon and social media phenomenon, still gets fired up discussing his family's internment under orders by FDR during WWII.

Speaking from  California shortly before the spate of deadly wildfires there, he recounted for me the unconscionable hardship faced by Japanese Americans during this period, which included having their bank accounts frozen and being literally imprisoned without any charges ever being filed, all because the U.S. government decided their ethnicity trumped their citizenship. “The roughly 120,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast were sent to 10 barbed-wire prison camps in the most godawful places in this country. All desolate, isolated. There were two camps in the blistering-hot desert of Arizona. There was another camp in the swamps of Arkansas. There were camps in the high, windswept, cold plains of Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and two of the most desolate places in California.”

“I mean, can you imagine this?” he asks, still incredulous after over 70 years.

Stan Lee: December 28, 1922—November 12, 2018 (Image via signed head shot)

Stan Lee, the man behind Marvel, and who co-created most of the superheroes you've ever heard of from Spider-Man to Black Panther and beyond, has died. Full obit here.

Choice Stan Lee quote from 1968: 

Stan Lee in 1968: "Racism and bigotry are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today ... The only way to destroy them, is to expose them — to reveal from the insidious evil they really are." #stanlee #ripstanlee pic.twitter.com/0kHInvBn8I

Just kidding, kinda, but the young woman calling herself Reformed Republican who posted about being a pilloried black Republican and, in the process, raised $150K from supportive right-wingers, is pretty briliant for exposing how stupid our lottery-esque social media system is.

Currently being directed by Ali LeRoi, The Obituary of Tunde Johnson is a movie to watch — next year. But for now, keep your eye on this project, which stars Steven Silver (13 Reasons Why) as Tunde, a queer black prep school student who is immersed in a cycle of police brutality.

Tunde's boyfriend Soren (Spencer Neville) is the typical all-American jock, and too deeply closeted to be of much help. He even has a beard ... Tunde's BFF (Nicola Peltz).

My friend Eduardo Cisneros is an EP on this, and I have a good feeling this will wind up being the next Moonlight.
