I've never seen so many mobilizations, rallies and actions, honestly. They're happening pretty constantly, in cities but also in small towns and in every single state. They're not getting tons of coverage, but they're happening, and they're growing. Join one, or start one, you're not alone in this.

“The whole question over how many bills they need”? Just one question, Chuck: What the fuck is wrong with you? Step up and fight, or get out of the way.

I know this won't happen, but Hochul removing Adams and then the judge immediately refusing the Justice Dept.'s request to end his prosecution because the rationale that it interferes with his ability to do his job no longer applies would be the week I have always dreamed of Eric Adams having.

My Uber driver said that everybody wants to believe Hitler escaped to Argentina but that theory is flawed. He said Hitler wound up in Mexico where he eventually died in the jungle. He’s also suspicious of the GPS which okay I’ll give him that.

Joan Baez, you're an amazing human that continues to speak from a place of truth & justice. "FROM JOAN BAEZ As the recipient of a Kennedy Center Honor, here is my note to Renée Fleming. Sending support also to Ben Folds, Low Cut Connie, Issa Rae, and others choosing to take a stand." #JoanBaez

One of the unsung strengths of #Casablanca is the easy repartee between Bogie and Claude Rains, two masters just riffing the Epstein Brothers' sharp dialogue off of each other. #TCMParty

Kudos to the programmers at the Paris Theater, who thought New Yorkers might be in the mood to see Nazis get outsmarted tonight. We were. And CASABLANCA got the most sustained applause I've ever seen a classic film get in a non-festival screening. It was a much-needed catharsis. #FilmSky #TCMParty

Email from 10-YO's school noting "an unprecedented amount of illness at school at the moment. Not only more than in years past, but more severe." In other news, it's great that an anti-vax ghoul opposed to most modern medicine is now Secretary of Health and Human Services, love this for us.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.
