@sistercelluloid Got drunk with Brando a few times when I lived in Tahiti.
I was 20 years old and my friends and I used to go to the Beachcomber Hotel for happy hour - Brando was a regular, larger than life and seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
In hindsight there’s so much I wish I’d asked him

Elon Musk: If Kamala wins she'll hide the Epstein files, & be a threat to democracy.
If Trump wins he'll release the Epstein files, & focus on the people.

This idiot has NEVER been right about anything. 👇

Trump could have presided over a very strong economy. All he had to do was...nothing: Inflation was trending downward, the AI boom was raising growth.

Instead, he engineered a global trade war and energy shock, while shrinking America's labor force. https://t.co/JvvlsQ83R8

If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery.

If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal.

That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.

In 1934 this man testified to congress that he was approached to lead a coup and replace FDR. The plan had the backing of America's wealthiest oligarchs along with the backing of 500k men in order to install a fascist dictatorship here in America to match Europe. It is called the business plot.

Many of the wealthiest families (who formed the american liberty league) admired, supported, collaborated or outright funded the nazis. All in response to FDR's new deal government. A lot of these oligarchs worked with the black legion, which was a branch of the kkk that specifically targeted leftist and union organizers.

After speaking with Butler, congress deemed the plan not a matter of if but when the backers deemed it expedient. We did nothing to bring these men in for justice because in this country, if you are rich enough, you are untouchable.

It was mistake. It was a mistake to not punish the confederates. It was a mistake not to punish these families that planned a coup against FDR and it was a giant mistake not to punish Trump and all those who funded and made Jan 6 possible.

We are living through these mistakes now and it is costing us dearly.

Hi Shay,

I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends are Jewish. I love them all. My family is Jewish, I love them all too. My community is Jewish. Love them too. I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah & Talmud, and love Jewish culture, history and expression.

But I'm not a Zionist. I'm an anti-Zionist.

That's because Zionism was an ideology that said, let's create a Jewish state in a country that's 97%+ non-Jewish. What could possibly go wrong?

A short summary:

That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish. https://t.co/HRdm0V6qOk and https://t.co/5et8PsWobq

That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed. That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. https://t.co/oXfyJsWFtC

That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. https://t.co/A6l95xmlpG

That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity https://t.co/s2RBvscLWY

That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. https://t.co/1d4VqUjxvE

That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. https://t.co/aDxfsfmHjN

That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. https://t.co/16FarJ7vAw

The Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority in a land of overwhelmingly Palestinians.

That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians. That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization (@ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022), since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy.

Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights @JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide.

So, please don't conflate Judaism -- that has existed for thousands of years -- with your modern, fascist anti-Jewish political ideology founded on the principles of forcible displacement & genocide.

Judaism will last as long as their are humans on the planet. Zionism is imploding in real time.

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than:

Walt Disney
Citigroup
CVS
Kohl's
Ticketmaster
Tesla
United Airlines
GoDaddy
Paypal
Palantir
Roku
HP
3M
PG&E
Halliburton

That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform.

Contents of Abraham Lincoln’s pockets at moment of his assassination, tonight 1865, Ford’s Theatre—hidden from public for 111 years. Can you identify these artifacts? What are they?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Every year on the anniversary of D-Day, French citizens take sand from Omaha Beach and rub it onto the gravestones of fallen soldiers to create a golden shine. They do this for all 9,386 American soldiers buried there. 😮

We have lost 95,000 people from the federal science agencies since Trump came to power. NINETY FIVE THOUSAND. These fucks are destroying the foundations of our prosperity and progress with their fucking coal fantasies and religious mumbo-jumbo. The damage is going to be generational.

Imagine Biden’s FCC chair going to a left-wing conference and bragging about getting Fox hosts fired and new liberal ownership for rightwing media outlets.

[Cathy Young 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 @CathyYoung63]

The FCC chair openly bragging about the President of the United States forcing out undesirable journalists and installing "new ownership" of TV networks. Totally normal, folks.
