This is so endearing. Maggie Smith and Carol Burnett in their Bob Mackie glory.

[Tom Wilson 🇺🇦 @feedthedrummer]

Everyone will be talking about Harry Potter and Downton, but early years Maggie Smith was so so good.

The most powerful video you will see today! 🇮🇱

And the quote Erin Molan shares at the end is an incredibly poignant way to frame what is happening right now in the Middle East:

“Nobody knows what will happen next in the Middle East, but I know without any doubt in my mind who I’m rooting for.

And it’s not the terrorists who celebrate death; it’s the country fighting desperately for life.”

Wow. The most powerful video I’ve seen in a while.

[StandWithUs @StandWithUs]

Update: The #Iranian regime fired over 200 missiles (100 of them were ballistic missiles) and drones towards Israel. Most were intercepted. A 7-year-old Bedouin girl in southern Israel is in critical condition following the attack. Minor damage to an @IDF base in southern #Israel. This is an ongoing event.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

Both Israel and Ukraine, two U.S. allies, are under attack. Both allies are fighting a war for the West, but without all the tools they need, because the Republicans @SpeakerJohnson @GOP @HouseGOP have blocked military aid for six months.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

It will take years to rebuild this critical infrastructure.

While @GOP @HouseGOP @SpeakerJohnson dither critical infrastructure in Ukraine is being destroyed and people are being murdered. When Johnson finally gets around to it and the GOP passes votes for aid it will be too late for too many. #PassUkaineAidNow

Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

In my view, the key CPAC story isn’t that right-wing influencer Jack Posebiec said, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.”

The story is how many Republican lawmakers are absolutely silent about it.

May I suggest the media ask every Congressional member who speaks at CPAC, and every Republican presidential candidate for that matter, the following three questions:

1) Do you reject Jack Posebiec’s comments?

2) Do you support democracy?

3) Do you respect the separation of church and state?

And don't stop asking until you get answers.

I believe journalists have a duty to uncover just how deep the threat to American democracy runs.

It’s the answers that should frighten us. Never the questions.

Aleksey Navalny was a fearless advocate for his beliefs who died unbroken by the tyranny he opposed. He fought corruption, inspired millions and never wavered in his insistence on free expression, the rule of law, and a Russia that is accountable to the people and not a dictator. He died in unyielding defense of his vision of a better future for his country - a vision, and a courageous example, that will never die.

Seems like this ought to be a headline. A pretty big one.

I just read the sickest thing.

When the IDF was deep in Gaza yesterday taking control of a Hamas base, Hamas sent 100 women and children out to the soldiers to act as human shields

Hamas has reached a level of depravity humanity has never known. And I mean never.

BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”

But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…

De Niro continued:

“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So, today I issue another warning.

From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:

This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  We have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House.  They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.” 

“Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.  Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity.  Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world.  Safety for our families.  Decency.  Let’s welcome them back.  We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump.”

Well said, Robert De Niro!

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Robert De Niro for calling out Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
