For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM
Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).
It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

I hope every band everywhere plays this song at every gig. Thank you, Bruce!
It didn't take long for this to get personal -- Trump's minions just seized the voting records for my (Fulton) county.
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
The astonishing assault on public health has devastated American's bulwark against disease, injury, and violence.

Sounds like the Russian army…
Thanks, David Corn, for reminding me that Superman has always been woke:
Clearly the Brotocracy is playing Russian Roulette -- with all chambers loaded with bullets.

Heading out tonight to see Elaine Pagels in conversation with Barbara Brown Taylor. Pagels's new book, Miracles and Wonder, is brilliant. ❤️📚
Well, I was planning a hike in the mountains on Saturday. But this walk -- along with my fellow ex-CDCers and a zillion other Atlantans -- is more important.
Wow. Still going strong -- staying strong -- at 20+ hours and counting. Along with the rest of my country, I needed this.

Post from 'Egg Price Sufferer' user @agraybee says, "Weird how everyone with Trump Derangement Syndrome turned out to be completely correct within one month."
Turns out we “deranged” people simply saw the truth clearly.
Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
