When I see the horribly racist video of the Obamas by Donald Trump, I'm always reminded of this quote from one of my favorite writers, Alexander Dumas, when people would make similar photos of him.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

… in the Chicago Sunday Tribunk lol
One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

Now this is a movie review www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...
![The UK's Independent gives the film one star out of five, saying: "[The] First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda ... Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving - with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism - the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Göring's staring up at his looted Monet."
The publication continued: "The "film" is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact - like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will - of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tu4d43ehkpc6mg2tlsyepptn/bafkreihekdzwo5ahnlli7chkshunctsvxkrm6npngzw7ehvjmb6mzomyeu@jpeg)

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.
