The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

I am looking forward to reading this. However, having Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, KY (SCN) for grades 1-12, I know of their involvement in the Civil War. Is that, perhaps, listed under some subheading? I did not see them in the interactive list.

While I was enjoying a beautiful evening, a friend called to say that a lady who has been trolling me with questions (that I couldnβ€˜t understand)had posted that I am a Chinese bot. I donβ€˜t know why she tried to dehumanize me. Maybe it made her feel better about herself? Human me took this pic today.

As for your other questions, I have no idea. I I will find out with everyone else, if that info is ever released. The β€œif” is the key word in that sentence. This is a horrible thing that was done to those kids.

If I said that President Biden was my favorite, I don’t know when that was. He served this country for many years and I do believe that he is a decent human being. I have never totally agreed with all of the policies of any president, from either party.

If a politician/elected official,or their family members (from either party) exploited, assaulted,or trafficked underage kids, they should be prosecuted in a court of law. If found guilty,by a jury,they should serve their sentence.I don’t care who they are or what political party. That’s it for me.

There are a lot of us blue people in red states making these calls that’s why I dislike making states by color.

Are they seriously calling the reporting of child abuse β€œanti--Catholic?”Especially when Catholic clergy,religious,& lay leaders almost always assault kids who are…wait for it…CATHOLIC. Isn’t assaulting specifically CATHOLIC children, by definition,anti-CATHOLIC??? Smh

It was during Trump’s first campaign for the presidency. He imitated and openly mocked a reporter with arthrogryposis, a condition which affects the joints. It was a horrible moment & I don’t understand how a person who acted that way could ever be elected President.

Stephen Colbert and Anderson Cooper's beautiful conversation about grief
YouTube video by Mostly Water Stephen Colbert and Anderson Cooper's beautiful conversation about grief

If you have about 20 minutes to spare, Colbert's interview with Anderson Cooper about grief is one of the best things I've ever watched. I watched it shortly after I got sober and it felt like oxygen.

Federal agents handcuff and detain New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander was taken into custody at an immigration court in Lower Manhattan.

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. β€œThis is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.
