"His directorial run from 1984 to 1992 is remarkable; I literally cannot imagine anyone pulling off anything like that today, particularly in such a compressed period of time. These films are all foundational texts." lnk.thebulwark.com/3MEHyOs
Rob Reiner, 1947–2025
One of the best and most versatile directors of his era.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

All Republicans in Congress are faced with a choice. They either stand with Trump, Vance and Putin, or they stand with Ukraine, Europe, most Americans, and the civilized world. Of course, there is also a 3rd option which most of them usually choose - cowardly silence.

Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

“Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice,” said Kathleen Engel, a Suffolk University law professor and leading expert on mortgage finance.
In 1993, Trump signed mortgages for 2 homes in Florida, claiming each as his principal residence.
He does not appear to have ever lived in either, let alone used them as a principal residence. They were investment properties & rented out.
Yet he accuses others of fraud?

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

This totally sounds like something Trump would do. (And almost certainly has done.)
There are people exploiting undocumented immigrants by hiring them to do day labour at their homes, and then calling ICE to avoid having to pay them.
It’s despicable.
Do not be the person who turns in an immigrant friend, neighbour or employee.
Do not aid fascists.
