When Jane Fonda accepted the SAG-AFTRA Lifetime Achievement Award, she turned the stage into a call to action: “We have to be brave. And we have to be willing to be woke.” At 87, she’s using as she says, her privilege to stand up for peace, women’s rights, and climate. Link in bio. #fresh-air

"The Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times has obtained a list of more than 700 people who have been detained or appear to be scheduled to be sent to the Florida-run immigration detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz."
Is your family member or client at Alligator Alcatraz? We obtained a list
The Trump and DeSantis administrations have refused to release a roster of detainees, none of whom seem to appear in ICE’s online database.

Thank you @tonyamosley.bsky.social for introducing me to such an intriguing person. I can't believe I hadn't seen his work. I immediately went online to find it.
For painter Titus Kaphar, forgiveness is 'a weight lifted off of your shoulders'
Kaphar draws on his own painful relationship with his father in his film, Exhibiting Forgiveness. He says the project gave him a new sympathy for his dad. Originally broadcast Oct. 24, 2024.

There’s a certain tenderness beneath Atsuko Okatsuka’s comedy, an aura, as she puts it, of sadness but also immense joy and light. She shared how growing up with a mother who lives with schizophrenia shaped the way she sees the world... and how she carries her mom with her in every performance.

Writer Ocean Vuong has been asking: Why did the working-class people he grew up with show such deep kindness, even when there was nothing to gain? In Emperor of Gladness, and in life, he returns to one moment of shared grief in a fast food kitchen. Link in bio.
