That one person can drag us into a war — without consulting or even notifying Congress, our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary— is absolutely bonkers.

Danny Boyle would not direct "Slumdog Millionaire" today because of "cultural appropriation" and "I’d be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it."
“We wouldn’t be able to make that now. And that’s how it should be. It’s time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we’ve left on the world...

tom brady and snoop dogg starring in a "stand up to hate" commercial while both being supporters and friends of donald trump is kinda the natural conclusion of "just be kind <3" messaging that refuses to engage with politics
