@sharonwaxman.bsky.social getting that “debut” of this quality is a rare joy if you are in the entertainment media biz these days. Kristen Stewart is a thinker,and that is not always rewarded on the way up. Hope there is a bidding war on this one.

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social there are many historical antecedents for brain drains . It usually coincides with forming autocracies & relates to an ideological purge. When position is based on “loyalty to the regime” the smart ones jump ship first.

Pay attention : This is social worker and constituent Emily Feiner being removed from NY17 Rep Mike Lawler town hall in Somers. I was struck immediately by revulsion, but also hope. There is a Norman Rockwell quality to this image and its representation of America in current state.

@annabower.bsky.social this is a pattern. Next week it will be “he was a major drug lord running one of the top cartels”. The claims become outlandish, the yelling gets louder because there is polling somewhere that says “this is working” with the base. And not discussing the economy.

A newspaper clip from my Canadian Mother-In-Law. The family I married into are a classic, hard-working immigrant story. All entrepreneurs, kind, well-traveled and not “radicals”. America was a big brother. Friends of all ages no longer feel welcome in the US & assume it’s now broken. Makes me ill.
