Georgia is one of the main states to watch for Republicans to redo their WI/NC playbook of using the lame duck session to entrench power after losing elections. New reporting on what they might do if they lose: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

ajc.comGeorgia Republicans could redraw maps, limit governor’s powers after electionState GOP leaders have not said if they plan to have a special session. But Democrats are already preparing for one.

Yeah. Look. I didn’t love this film and don’t think it reads the room well but it cost like $20m, as in nothing approaching $100 (which is by the way what the 2018 Robin Hood where Robin basically leads occupy or the 2010 $200m Russell Crowe Robin Hood where the Magna Carta is basically his idea)

I think the release of this movie right as anger about oligarchs is reaching fever pitch is not a coincidence. here's 100 million dollars please tell everybody the guy who stole from the rich to give to the poor sucked actually.

David Crowley: We need your 3 Ts. We need your time. We need your talent. I usually say the last piece is treasure, but we'll make an executive decision and turn that third T into turnout. We may not have billionaires, but we got something better. We've got you.

VP Kamala Harris: 8 days out. On day 9 we don't wanna have any regrets. The beauty of this moment is it is a time to emphasize the power of the people. We've been feeling powerless. People have been feeling like they can't do anything about this. That phase is over. Turn that anger into action.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Pam Grier Stars in Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown' New 4K SteelBook Trailer

onfs.netPam Grier Stars in Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown' New 4K SteelBook Trailer"You're officially out of trouble now. Don't go doing something stupid." Imprint FIlms is preparing to drop their own special edition limited SteelBook 4K UHD re-release of Quentin Tarantino's third feature titled Jackie Brown from 1997. This was his long-awaited follow-up to Pulp Fiction, released three years after in 1997 (it actually hit theaters nationwide on Christmas Day back in late 1997). What do a sexy stewardess, a street-tough gun runner, a lonely bail bondsman, a shifty ex-con, an earnest federal agent, and a stoned-out beach bunny have in common? They're six players on the trail of half a million dollars in cash. Starring Pam Grier as the titular "Jackie Brown" and featuring a juggernaut ensemble cast with Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, and Robert De Niro, Tarantino’s screenplay was based on Elmore Leonard’s 1992 novel "Rum Punch" - his only script based on other work. Jackie Brown pays homage to 1970s blaxploitation films, particularly Coffy and Foxy Brown, both of which also starred Grier. It's not exactly Tarantino's best film, but it has many supporters who still consider it one of his best in his filmography. This new 4K SteelBook is from Australia - it was released on 4K Blu-ray in the US last year.Β //Β Continue Reading β€Ί

This kind of psychological harm to a baby boy is unforgivable and I hope that family sues the shit out of any and everyone. White adults doing this to a Black child (no doubt an everyday occurrence in this country) takes being a "racist bully" to a whole other level. Soar above them all Nevada!

This is what happens when you teach your children that Trump is someone to admire

The lawsuit alleges the boys who shared the nude photos also had a public Instagram page where they discussed which of their teachers were the β€œloosest” and used racist language. One message read, β€œIf [male student’s name] wasn’t dating [female student’s name], I would have raped her already.”

Matt STFU, sincerely. You can live in *the world* or you can not, and if you're going to eat food and enjoy art/media from other nations/peoples you should at least be passingly familiar with stuff like "Who made this? What's it like where they're from? They doin' alright? If not, why?"

On this day in 1946, a Holmes County, Mississippi, court freed five white men charged with killing a Black man named Leon McAtee, even though one of the defendants had confessed to his own involvement in the murder and implicated the other four men.
