Dedicated to those aboard the USS Lincoln. Lennon penned this in ’71—and it’s eerie how perfectly it still holds up. Vietnam then, circle-jerk kabuki theater now. Same machinery, spectacle, and human cost. “Well, I don't wanna be a sailor mama, I don't wanna fly “

📽️ Happy 76th Birthday Tom Waits. Not only a brilliant “bad ass” song legend he eats up the screen.“I do some acting…I usually get people who want to put me in for a short time, or they have a really odd part that only has two pages of dialogue, if that” Too many faves to list. My #1. What are yours?

I felt pretty darn good about this press release on Iger and Disney. indivisible.org/statements/i...
Washington, D.C. — Today, Ezra Levin, Indivisible’s co-founder and co-executive director, released the following statement on Indivisible’s campaign to boycott and protest Disney and ABC following the firing of Jimmy Kimmel: 

“Bob Iger apparently never watched Andor. He should binge watch it this weekend, look deep within his soul, and reverse course – or resign in disgrace as CEO of Disney. Until then, Indivisible is organizing to save this beloved American company from disgrace, and to protect our constitutional rights that Iger is so willing to sacrifice. 

“Iger’s cowardice is bad for Disney and bad for democracy. There was a time when Disney was on the side of democracy, producing some of the most memorable anti-fascist cartoons of the 1940s to help us win the war. But eighty years later, Iger is tarnishing a great American company’s reputation with his cowardly capitulation to Trump’s goons. Rather than stand up for free speech, he’s falling over to help an unpopular president squash dissent and trample our rights. Shame, Bob, shame.

“The Trump administration has ordered the incineration of 500 metric tons of emergency food aid, enough to feed 1.5 million malnourished children for a week, due to cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency.” Repulsive, vomitous, deprived, sinister, and demonic comes to mind. Fuck them all.
