Lee Grant, blacklisted during McCarthyism, is speaking out against Florida's teaching standards At 100 years old, Lee Grant knows the cost of McCarthyism better than almost anyone else on the planet.

Read what’s happening with the Coast Guard and hate symbols, then read this article about Florida whitewashing McCarthyism and changing how schools can teach about it. People’s lives and livelihoods were destroyed for decades, but, sure. Let’s protect the feelings of fascists and hate groups today.

What a great play. This and The Children’s Hour were essential reading for me when I was studying acting. She’s another victim of the HUAC, which we seem to have forgotten about in today’s political climate.

Weird, wild, but sometimes tasty.

Are you in #Georgia? Have you voted? If not, tomorrow is your last chance to make a difference in the #PSC #election. There are also a number of local ballot measures, city council elections, etc. that need your voice!

Ah, looks like home.

He’s a great voice actor, has a great sense of humor, and is always a welcome sight in any show or movie. I love Supporting Actor Sunday.

It’s such a good supporting cast.

Oooh! Send them up here to north Georgia! I’ll buy them a drink if they drive around up here. I’d looove to see it.

Just when I think I’ve heard the most moronic thing from him, he ups his dumbass game again.

I can’t go protest either. Thanks for making signs! They should cover the whole state.

😁It’s the ol’ green versus roasted debate. My family is from South Georgia peanut-growing country, but I’m living in North Georgia roast ‘em first territory. I’ll take them however I can get them as long as they’re salted only, no fancy seasoning.

Are you, perchance, from the southern part of the state?

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,

don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.

Don’t bother.

Please.

And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

It was my second viewing, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. Delightful!

I hope they shake it off quickly and stay home!

It’s maddening!!! I’m being bombarded with reminders for pneumonia, shingles, RSV, flu… but it’s cricket for COVID. You know, the virus actually going around right now.

Mark Zuckerberg taps anti-LGBTQ+ activist to advise Meta on AI "bias" - LGBTQ Nation Robby Starbuck will address the company's "ideological and political bias."

Why are people still on Facebook and Instagram? This just proves what a shit company Meta is.

If you want to see what’s really going on in this country, where the rot begins, attend your #localgovernment meetings. Don’t skip the smaller elections.

With apologies to Carl Sandberg:

The fascism comes
on little blonde feet.

It sits looking
over city council meetings
on snooty haunches
looking down its nose but never moves on.

They’re still around in Georgia, too. The John Birch Society (worth a little research if you aren’t familiar) built one near my grandparents’ house and it’s still going. I just thought it was a particularly ugly private school when I was a kid.

A very persistent dachshund mix is staring at me intently.

Persistence, thy name is Lula.

The sounds of his screams in The Bad Seed… oof!

Could be spoken to many today.

Last night I watched Anatomy of a Murde and was drawn in by Joseph Welch, who once was an attorney. He was famous for skewering Joseph McCarthy: “Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness…You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

Goofy Grape!

We ordered cooling showers just for you.

I read that one last year and loved it, especially as a resident of rural Georgia and former library worker. I *just* finished The Change by the same author and am recommending it to all of my friends of a certain age.

I don’t know what it says about me that he was one of my first celebrity crushes. I think it means. I have great taste. My dating life says otherwise, but perhaps I’ve been holding them to impossible standards. Happy birthday and thank you to a life-long inspiration.
