Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”

BREAKING: LOL! Jimmy Kimmel just won a Peabody Award and used his acceptance speech to laugh in Trump’s face.

Jimmy Kimmel won a Peabody Award last night. And he used his acceptance speech to deliver one of the most gloriously defiant moments in the history of American comedy.

Standing alongside journalists who exposed Trump administration immigration horrors and prison abuse, a teacher who took on Putin, and documentarians covering Vietnam War protests, Kimmel opened with characteristic self-deprecation:

"I've never felt dumber than I do right now, being on stage with this group of people who expose the horrors of ICE, prison abuse, and protests against the Vietnam War, a teacher who took on Putin. I called our president Fatty Shack. And Blob the Builder. And Liger Woods and the Hungry Hungry Hypocrite. Our fondling father, Mara Lardo. Nelson Tandela. And Nostra Dumbass. And somehow we got a Peabody out of that."

But then Kimmel got serious — and the room got quiet.

"Making jokes about the president in America shouldn't win you a prize," he said. "We have the right, guaranteed by the Constitution, to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that many of us take for granted. It's one that I took for granted for the first 57 years of my life until September of last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise."

Trump's FCC chief, Brendan Carr, launched an investigation into Kimmel last year as part of the administration's broader campaign to weaponize federal regulators against media critics, leading ABC/Disney to cancel Kimmel’s program, albeit temporarily. But Kimmel said what happened next surprised him even more than the attack itself.

"I watched as millions of people, even some from across the aisle, objected. They spoke up. They marched. They canceled their subscriptions to Star Wars because they refused to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House. You sent a message that we do care and that we will stand up and that we will not stand by when comedy and journalism and dissent are censored and regulated and criminalized."

He closed with a list of thank-yous that will live forever: "Thank you to Donald Trump, our commander-in-thief, Abriscam Lincoln, Orange Julius Caesar, Greedy McGolfy, Dopey McGropy, and Pumpkin McPornhumper. Thank you for inspiring us to fight for our freedom of speech."

The First Amendment is not negotiable. And apparently, neither is Jimmy Kimmel.

There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit

[Indie 505 @Indie5051]

A los 39 años todavía tenía que revisar mi cuenta bancaria antes de invitar un café. No era un “artista joven y bohemio” con todo resuelto; era un actor luchando por abrirse paso. Pasé años sirviendo mesas en Nueva York mientras iba de audición en audición, tratando de que mi carrera despegara.

Mi camino fue largo. Iba de Nueva York a Los Ángeles y de regreso, buscando oportunidades, haciendo castings, recibiendo rechazos. Año tras año escuchaba que no encajaba, que era demasiado esto o muy poco aquello. A veces, ser latino en esta industria hacía todo aún más complicado.

Hubo momentos en los que pensé seriamente en rendirme. Me preguntaba si tenía sentido seguir persiguiendo un sueño que parecía tan lejano. Después de tantos años sin resultados, sentía que tal vez ya era demasiado tarde para mí.

Viví muchas noches de duda, de cansancio, de preguntarme si debía soltar esa ilusión. Había muchas razones para hacerlo: la incertidumbre, el dinero, el miedo al fracaso. Pero algo dentro de mí no me dejó parar.

Con el tiempo, sin darme cuenta, todo empezó a cambiar. Llegaron las oportunidades, los proyectos grandes, el reconocimiento. Mi rostro apareció en pantallas de todo el mundo y mi carrera tomó un rumbo que jamás imaginé.

Hoy entiendo que el éxito no tiene horario. No existe eso de “llegar tarde”. Cada quien tiene su propio ritmo, su propio proceso, su propio momento.

Si el triunfo hubiera llegado demasiado pronto, quizá no habría sabido sostenerlo. Llegó cuando ya sabía quién era, cuando había aprendido a resistir, a caer y a levantarme sin perderme.

Si hoy sientes que vas atrasado, que la vida se te está escapando, recuerda esto: tu historia no ha terminado. A veces, los caminos más largos forman a las personas más fuertes.

Apenas estás en el segundo acto.

Harrison Ford has released a statement:

"I don’t know of a greater criminal in history. He doesn’t have any policies, he has whims. It scares the sh*t out of me. The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a hand basket. It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history," Ford told The Guardian. “He’s losing ground because everything he says is a lie. I’m confident we can mitigate against [climate change], that we can buy time to change behaviors, to create new technologies, to concentrate more fully on implementation of those policies. But we have to develop the political will and intellectual sophistication to realize that we human beings are capable of change. We are incredibly adaptive, we are incredibly inventive. If we concentrate on a problem we can fix it most times.”
