Trump’s comments are vile. I am just as angry at the media outlets that bothsided Jamal’s murder, wrote puff pieces for MBS (Atlantic).
And, the Washington Post opinion page that dismantled the platform that Jamal wrote for, ended the fellowship in his name, and purged its human rights writers.

Got my kicks above the waistline last night. (In the mezzanine of The Imperial Theatre on Broadway) Tveit and Michele shine as expected, but Christopher soars and delivers one knockout number after another in a Tony worthy performance.

In the election for mayor of Cincinnati the Republicans put up JD Vance’s half-brother against incumbent Aftab Pureval. The Republicans got absolutely crushed — Pureval got more than 80% of the vote.

I agree with Atad. Lethem's essay expresses how I feel, but cannot articulate, about OBAA.
this Jonathan Lethem piece is the first writing on One Battle After Another i've seen that deals directly with this deliberate discrepancy
it's also the first great negative take on the film that i've encountered www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Republican leaders claim No Kings Day 2.0 is a "hate America" rally. Rubbish. We’re rallying tomorrow because we LOVE America. It's an opportunity for all of us who love this country to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

This is true for me.
