For yrs I have been on this platform talking about what is going on with white women and why they are silent/complicit, and have been shouted down
Generations of submission under the beliefs that are being spoken out loud now, about how women are supposed to live.

Under his eye For centuries white women have lived this way. It goes back to feudalism and beyond.
Women were bought and sold, traded for cattle or land.
They were expected to work and be brood mares that created more workers, until their bodies gave out and they were replaced.
Brutal lives…

Russian leadership is telling the Russian people that reports of what is happening in Ukraine are,
“FAKE NEWS”.

There it is. Propaganda.
The same propaganda that is happening here. Why am I always hollering about how we should not buy into the propaganda that has been so effective here in America, designed to make us believe that the news is FAKE…because of THIS.

It’s propaganda.
Don’t be a useful idiot.

If you are over the age of 45, did you have civics classes in school?

Did you learn the basic principle of how the different branches of government work?

Do you know how to access that information now? Do you understand how the press (the fourth estate) is supposed to work?

Do you understand the basic principles of our legal system?

Do you understand any of the principles of foreign policy?

In the 4th grade on the schoolyard, we asked each other what we would do if we had been in Germany when the Nazis hauled away our neighbors. It is a question that people all around the world have asked since WWII.

I am not sure that anyone with any serious understanding of history, thinks that ignoring monsters makes them go away.

Children on the playground used to understand that.

1)I walked away from the film industry 3 years ago.
I did not leave because I no longer liked designing costumes, or running a costume dept.

I still liked my ACTUAL job.

I liked the new challenges, all the new worlds that I can explore with each project…

#IATSESolidarity 2)I love the new group of people who comes together, collaborating, imagining, creating something out of nothing.

Seeing my costume sketch get up and walk around the room is a magical feeling. Never stops being thrilling. The same feeling after 30 years of designing…

Can’t stop thinking about
The Underground Railroad.

People think its about “the Underground Railroad”, but I don’t think it is, except as metaphor for the eternal fight for justice, equality and LIFE for black people

And it is very much about us, the European white race... It’s about the need to “subjugate” that seems to be built into our DNA.
Our need to WIN, CONTROL, be the most powerful, to oppress, to own, and to stop by any means necessary anyone who resists.

It is about the British, the Dutch the French and the Americans...

Maybe this is what it all comes down to.
What kind of a human being are you? Become a values voter.

Don’t vote for people who don’t have any interest in helping Americans.

Don’t vote for people who think their job is to cut taxes for the wealthy and multi billion dollar companies.

Do your homework. Make sure you are not voting for a soulless asshole.

I sort of get the cult of Reagan. Sort of. He was an actor, so he was pretty skilled at conveying a message.
His message was so strong, it blocked out the reality of his destructive policies...

So I can understand the smoke and mirrors that people could hide behind... ...but Donald Trump??

A two bit hustler, a fraud, known for decades for his cons and grifts, his failures, his bankruptcies, his scandals. Crude, vulgar, ignorant, uneducated.

This is who the Republicans are forming a cult behind??

Really?

Say what you may.
But as a progressive I am just goddamned grateful to be delivered out of gaping maws of white supremacy, the carving up of the environment to the highest bidder, children in cages, isolationism, and the WORST of the WORST, in charge. There is a TREMENDOUS amount of work ahead, and if we try to ignore what was happened and think it all can be vanquished with one vote we will be doomed to repeat this horror.

Your eyes are open, you can no longer be “shocked” to discover who we really are.

I was just listening to A piece about all the JOYFUL celebrations that exploded yesterday, and had a thought... Imagine that your removal from office being the source of all oF that joy?
Imagine that bells were going off in Paris, fireworks in London, and Americans dancing and singing in the streets, just because they were so glad to be rid of you,

What a terrible feeling that must be...

Think about the bravery of this young woman if you are worried about the Trump bullies. Think about this CHILD who had to be escorted to and from school by U.S. Marshalls.
