So touching! I worked on Bonnie & Clyde when I was 16 & Gene was so kind to “the kid” on the set. Gracious man & so funny! I also sat all day talking to a young actor who was very nervous about his 1 scene in the movie…Gene Wilder. Both so lovely & sadly both now gone. #RIPGeneHackman💔💔💔💔💔

Elon Musk’s notice to all federal employees informs them that they must tell him what they accomplished last week. Failure to do so will be considered a resignation. Call his bluff! Everyone! Refuse his illegal order, obey his resignation interpretation and walk out. Everyone!

Trump’s assertion that “He who saves his Country does not violate the law,” tells me that his felony convictions weigh far more heavily on him than I imagined.

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

Amidst the chaos and the law-breaking the most important thing to remember/focus on is that they are doing these things illegally because they know they don't have the votes to do it by passing laws, even in a GOP controlled Congress.

When I read that Trump was going to impose his untaught vulgar ass on the Kennedy Center a vision of Jed Clampett came to mind, but a boorish Jed Clampett. There goes the neighborhood!

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
