This was 1950. Would love to see this kind of energy from ANY sitting Republican.
Text from Mary Cox Richardson's newsletter of March 22nd, 2025, that reads: Sympathetic newspapers trumpeted McCarthy’s charges—which kept changing, and for which he never offered proof—and many of his colleagues cheered him on, while Republicans who disapproved of his tactics kept their heads down to avoid becoming the target of his attacks. All but one of them did, that is. Senator Smith recognized the damage McCarthy and his ilk were doing to the nation. On June 1, 1950, with McCarthy sitting two rows behind her, Smith stood up in the Senate to speak. “Those of us who shout the loudest about Americanism in making character assassinations are all too frequently those who, by our own words and acts, ignore some of the basic principles of Americanism,” she said. Americans have the right to criticize, to hold unpopular beliefs, to protest, and to think for themselves, she said. She condemned those trying to stifle dissent. “I do not want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry and Smear,” she said. “As an American, I condemn a Republican Fascist just as much as I condemn a Democrat Communist. They are equally dangerous to you and me and to our country. As an American, I want to see our nation recapture the strength and unity it once had when we fought the enemy instead of ourselves.” Senator Smith ended with a warning: “It is high time that we all stopped being tools and victims of totalitarian techniques—techniques that, if continued here unchecked, will surely end what we have come to cherish as the American way of life.”

I cannot overstate how incredible and how important No Other Land is. One of the best documentaries I have ever seen and a stunning technical achievement, regardless of your view of the politics. #filmsky #letterboxd #lastfourfriday
Four postings on Letterboxd: You Were Never Really Here (3.5 stars), No Other Land (5 stars), The Wild Robot (I watched it with my kid so I have to give it 5 stars), and Nope (fiiiiiive stars!!)

Watching the GOP try to spin Trump's senile ravings about Gaza into policy is giving me big Midsommar vibes. Ruben the Inbred Oracle fingerpaints and the Hårga base their whole society around it. That pretty much describes the US government right now.
A painting by Ruben from Midsommar? Or Trump's latest Executive Order? Who can tell!

The fact that so many people are finally discovering David Lynch's THE STRAIGHT STORY makes me so happy. A wonderful film that is finally getting its due. And it never fails to make me cry.

One of these things is not like the other. Can you spot the difference?
