I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

Today, WBHE releases a first-time 4K UHD restoration of Miloš Forman's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.
Even when you know what’s coming by the conclusion, with all that the film explores, one finds themselves emotionally drained, profoundly moved, & questioning the rehabilitation process.

While one might think that this is a ridiculous title to earn a restoration, the 90+ min of new bonus features make a compelling argument for preservation. #filmsky

One of the most important provisions of the ACA was eliminating pre-existing conditions exclusions from insurance plans.
Folks need to be reminded that if the ACA goes away, so does that provision.
