My all time favorite Hitchcock film. I showed it to my media studies H.S. classes for 20 years. So many layers. One of my favorites; each of the apartments showed a potential future for Jeff and Lisa, would they become the cranky boring old couple with the dog or maybe, Miss Lonelyhearts?

Get your resume out before 2030. The public’s memory may be short, but the internet doesn’t forget.

We stood up and you betrayed us. Resign. We need Dems that have a fucking spine.

You will carry this shame with you for the rest of your life. You got nothing (except perhaps some big donor checks). You also betrayed the trust of 7million + who took to the streets to fight this regime. If you resign now we can replace you in November. Do it!

I truly hate the fact that the entirety of my limited political donations for the next cycle will likely need to go toward primarying incumbent Dems.

That does improve his chances.

It was a different time. Thanks for sharing. This old guy appreciates it.

Hopefully, more corporations will see how fragile their service models are, and how easily they can be disrupted by their choices. I've dumped NYT, WaPo, & Hulu, shopping at Target and others. Not planning on going back to any of them. Every dollar spent is a vote in a corporatist society.

Classic GOP obfuscation “We didn’t murder Venezuelan fisherman, we just re-distributed their parts” probably Pete Hegseth.

Hopefully can get him rehired in time to perp walk Kash Patel.

Understand that the military is not being sent to Portland to keep peace. It’s there to foment violence. There will be agents within the protest itself to help facilitate that. Have an exit strategy. Know where there is cover. Read up on your rights when arrested.

Keep up unrelenting pressure on Disney as well. They license Sinclair's ABC affiliation. While their affiliate contracts aren't publicly available, they are generally expected to air what the Networks provide. Sinclair may not listen to you. They will listen to Disney.
