Amazing performance. I also love her in "Shoot the Moon." Brutal film, brutal performance.

Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

I dunno- having to endure a bullshit court-side interview as your player is broken would be pretty tough.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

I loved the halftime show,
but if I'd never left my home town,
ignored history,
got all my news from right wing sources,
only knew ppl who looked like me,
and never read books,
and voted for an amoral lying racist,
I'd probably hate it as much as the FOX News audience did.

I think this is where the abbreviation VIP reaches its maximum grossness.

According to US officials speaking to the newspaper, three American soldiers are dead tonight, but none of them were very important people.

It’s a sickening thing to say when you think about it. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

"Love don't make things nice. It ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect.

The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us, not us. We are here to ruin ourselves and break our hearts and love the wrong people and die."
