I was an infant when this was released, so while I didn't watch this in real time, only years later, there were countless other nuke flicks that indelibly impacted my childhood understanding. Namely, By Dawn's Early Light, which I watched as a 9 year old.
Tonight in 1983, more than 100 million Americans saw multiple thermonuclear weapons destroy Kansas City, Missouri, in “The Day After” on ABC. A.C. Nielsen Company reported that 62 percent of television sets that night were tuned to the film. I watched in my packed college dorm lounge. How about you?

ICE is a team sport for guys who would otherwise be school shooters
“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”
Families "horrified" after daycare teacher pulled out of school by federal agents.
The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee, who cares for infants, is legally allowed to work in the United State...

Nothing kills my spirit like a soggy, sad sandwich.
Lunch meeting today was catered with tacos, a delicious surprise
As I chewed, thought of how bulk/catering orders support the independent restaurants that are hurting right now
So if you have any power to shift away from the fast casual chain catering cabal...
you know pan dulce > panera anyway

As President Trump ramps up efforts to send federal officers and troops into cities, criminologists are watching closely. Are the feds doing this in a smart way?
National Guard presence may deter crime, but experts warn of the long-term costs

Are we in a political crisis? Man, I'd love to pick the brains of the other ~20%... You living under rocks? Siloed in your bubble? Simply high as shit? Too rich to care?
Even beyond Trump's paltry 38% approval rating in this new Quinnipiac poll - and his equally-bad approval ratings on some key issues - these numbers are just brutal for the party in power.

I'm always curious. "If you have a warrant, can you confirm my name?"
Why doesn't anyone ask that?
I always thought every warrant revealed to the "officer" picking a person up, that the warrant actually had that person's name on it?
We should be recording ice being unable to say their names!

🤔 Do any of you have family members who are active duty National Guard soldiers? How do THEY feel about Trump's use of the NG for non-existent threats? I'd love to hear their thoughts! DM me!
These soldiers' lives and livelihoods are being disrupted. And for what???

Trump suggests he's changing the name the US Department of Defence to the US Department of War:
"It just sounds better... Defence? I don't want to be defence only... We want offence too.
As Department of War, we won everything. And I think we're going to have to go back to that."
