@johncusack We are so grateful for the voice you’ve given to Palestine and her people. May peace come to them soon enough, may the world realize all we’ve lost and finally speak up, speak out and speak the truth to make a change. Thank you.
We appear to be actively losing Janey Godley, as her daughter seems to be taking over her twitter account. I’m so sad. She’s been such a joy for so long. She will forever be known for this, one of the best things, ever.
One year ago today, I lost my friend Ady Barkan 💔
Today we're releasing – for the first time – the full, uncut conversation between Ady and Kamala Harris we filmed in 2019 during the making of @NotGoingQuiet.
Ten minutes of this emotional, tearful interview were released then, but the complete, 45m exchange has never been seen before now.
We're publishing this footage alongside @beahero on the one-year anniversary of his passing to bring Ady's voice and legacy into this critical moment.
Janey is approaching the end of her life, sooner rather than later. I salute her. This may not be your vocabulary but let's get this trending as she prepares to check out...
Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from @senecaprojectus is amazing!!!
Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.
A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.
As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.
It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.
Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.
Huddle up, team. It’s the final quarter.
We’ve got the ball and we’re driving down field. And boy, do we have the team to win this.
Let’s make it happen: https://t.co/uyNRZrYcpq
