The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

The burden of representation among #AAPI filmmakers is enormous so I was skeptical going into #Didi, written and directed by #SeanWang. But I was IMPRESSED. The screenplay, the directing, the acting: 100. I believed every moment and it made my husband cry, thrice.

@teammcbride.bsky.social #SarahMcBride needs to show that she can play chess with Nancy Mace. The day she takes office, Sarah should invite ALL THE TRANS folx to Congress, and have them use the bathrooms to expose Nancy's bullying as moronic and in no one's best interest.

Congrats Gene! Excited to watch but also a little anxious given the recent adaptations of American Born Chinese and the Sympathizer.
Hi Bsky! Since 2022, I’ve been working on & off for an exciting, genre bending new series called Interior Chinatown, a meta mystery adapted from Charles Yu’s National Book Award winning novel, EP’ed by Taika Waititi. It finally drops TODAY 11/19 on Hulu/Disney+! SO DAMN PROUD OF EVERYONE INVOLVED!!🥳

Friggin loved #Conclave - a movie made for actual adults, it cured my jet lag. Edward Berger made some bold visual choices, and they all paid off. He even kept Ralph Fiennes from over-acting, which reminded me that Ralph is more than a mustache-twirling Voldemort. Bravo!

Loved #ThePenguin, one of my favorite shows of the year. However, I didn't feel the third act of the season finale was quite earned though. Yes, the show worked hard to lay pipe for this moment, but emotionally, I didn't buy it.
