On Isherwood posts:
Cabaret is a great film and an outstanding play, but to get a real feel about early 1930s read the Isherwood source material: the Berlin stories and diaries.
Like Zone of Interest the menace and horror is what you can sense off-page/off-screen.
And it was written at the time.

To those who don’t live in Minneapolis or MN: Things are far worse than whatever you’re seeing on your news feeds. Please share this. If you’re in a GOP state, call your congresspeople and express your outrage at this brutal govt assault on people of Minnesota. It.has.to.stop!!!
Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

@kenmartin.bsky.social Is this how the Dems ‘fight back’? ‘Senate MUST investigate’?WTH!? @schumer.senate.gov needs to DEMAND that Hegseth & co resign over this egregious breach! What is wrong with the Dems?! Chickenshit & afraid to get in GOP’s face. I’m not donating $ til you show you deserve it
For Pete Hegseth to send war plans in such a reckless way puts every single American at risk.
He intentionally put highly classified information on an unclassified device.
Every single Senator must demand accountability. The Senate must investigate.

That’s it. Lack of critical thinking AND cowardice. They’ve been bought and are afraid of ‘losing their job’. Let them be primaried! Being a senator or or member of the house isn’t meant to be a lifetime job! Another reason for term limits.
Almost as if russia planted a president that could dismantle us by gaining the approval of people that are incapable of critical thinking.
