The writer-journalist Isabel Wilkerson and the director Ava DuVernay are creators I greatly admire. Based on this review, DuVernay's "Origin," based on Wilkerson's book "Caste," looks like a must-see.

Any talk about impeaching President Biden should be about US making that no-nothing party lose badly at the polls in 2023 & '24.

Why are actors (and writers) on strike? It's not about the famous names. William Stanford Davis, an actor for 32 years, got a check for 3 cents. To buy what? Penny candy doesn't exist anymore.

Clearly, this man is too idiotic to be elected POTUS. After the trump error, there is no need for US to repeat it.

The "gay marriage" case on which the supremely corrupt court ruled today is built on a lie. It is shameful how right-wing groups bent on having people's rights taken away misuse the word "freedom."

Is Supreme Court’s “Gay Wedding” Case Built on a Lie? Man at Center of the Story Says He’s Straight | Democracy Now!
In one of the last cases in the Supreme Court’s current session, the justices ruled in favor of a wedding website designer who wants to be allowed to refuse service to same-sex couples. Lorie Smith of Colorado filed the lawsuit with help from the right-wing Alliance Defending Freedom as part of the ..

“No one benefits from ignorance. Although formal race-linked legal barriers are gone, race still matters to the lived experiences of all Americans in innumerable ways. Today’s ruling makes things worse, not better. The best that can be said of the majority’s perspective is that it proceeds (ostrich-

Congratulations to Novak Djokovic on setting the men's record for most Grand Slam singles titles, not the all-time record. Watch how many media outlets get that wrong by ignoring Serena Williams, who also has 23 titles, and Margaret Court, who has 24. #Tennis #sports

VP Kamala Harris became the 1st woman to deliver the commencement speech at West Point. No network carried it live. Had the White House sent word that she'd use part of her speech to criticize trump (she didn't), then it would've been carried live...to center trump, which the networks love to do.

I hope you will see Black Ice at an AMC theater when it becomes available in July. I would say that even if I was not a journalist who appears in the documentary.

If justice is served, then Rupert Murdoch should be thoroughly exposed and utterly shamed a la Robert Maxwell in the Dominion case.

A right-wing ideologue masquerading as a judge. That he would be dishonest during his confirmation process should surprise no one. He was picked by zealots to try to circumvent the views of a clear majority of US. Awful

There is one political party -- the Republicans -- that is preventing anything from being done about these all-too-frequent mass shootings. This is the American exceptionalism nobody needs. But it's what we have because Republicans like gun lobbyists' money so much. #GunReform #GunSafety #protectchi
