This point, right here.
Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

I got to spend good talkin time with my mom last night, and this came up and I haven’t seen my 81 year old mom that pissed off in a long time. She said, “how can they erase the women, don’t they all have mothers?!!”

This is terrifying. America, we are openly disappearing people now. The president is ignoring the rule of law. This is getting really bad really fast. It hasn’t even been 90 days. What do we do??
We don’t if they were gang members, only that Trump’s DOJ says they were. But they’ve had no trials. They are “accused.” They are “alleged” to be members of a gang that Trump has named. And now they are vanished.
This is an actual nightmare and we should be up in arms.

250 Venezuelans have been disappeared into one of the worst prisons in Central America based on Trump’s invocation of a law only used 3 times in our history - the last time resulted in the Japanese-American internment. These men have had no due process. It’s monstrous.

This is the kind of post I like to see! 💯agree!!
Everyone gonna be clowning on Mahomes (deserved) and Kelce (also deserved) but I just wanna take a moment to clown on Harrison Butker because he's a racist, a misogynist, and a homophobe and I'm glad he hasn't even had an opportunity to kick a field goal tonight.
Go fuck yourself Butker.

Thank you, Senator. I can’t believe he has to make this point. Mike Johnson is a shameful representative and human. We take care of each other. That’s the basics!

Theatre Talk: just saw Sarah DeLappe’s THE WOLVES again - I’ve seen it twice and directed it twice. I think it is still a perfect play for our times. It’s at least 10 years old, topical and doesn’t feel dated. Should be done at every college every 4 years. Can we call it part of the American canon?

Great newsletter from @hcrichardson.bsky.social Posting it here so I can point to it next year when the pendulum swings way back to TFG rewarding himself and his cronies and the same ol trickle down bs that has never worked for anyone but the rich.
Great @hcrichardson.bsky.social time capsule on all Biden has achieved for the 99% and the country by ending Reagan’s “supply side” golden shower. Americans always have to learn the hard way, tho. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-1...

I watched 3 versions of #ThePianoLesson over the last month (A Noise Within, 1995 Hallmark version & the new one on Netflix) and, damn, does that play work! Do I have thoughts about each version, of course. Would I recommend any of them so you can get some #augustwilson in your life, absolutely!!

Got to see #rockyhorrorpictureshow in a theatre last night at @vidiots.bsky.social So. Much. Fun. Every time Tim Curry was on screen I just kept saying, He’s SO Beautiful!! I know this isn’t news, but I need to take a moment to honor his gorgeousness & utter delight in himself throughout.

Hey Blue Sky folks, nice to see more coming over. Looking for more theatre and creative folks interested in moving the culture forward and making space for under represented voices.
