I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

At tonight's Olivier Awards, Bill Porter reminds us of these words from Toni Morrison:
"There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal"

Step up, stand up, speak out.
This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid.
Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.

They were discussing Mary Poppins on @alltherightmovies.com and they mentioned that ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ was inspired by one of the composer’s sons getting the polio vaccine in a sugar cube.
A bright, cheery, classic song that sprang from the eradication of a horrific disease.
