Wow! Senators Kelly and Slotkin and Reps DeLuzio, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Crow encouraging members of the military to defy illegal orders!

He’s a monster. (example 1,392,433)

The administration’s attempt to erase the sacrifices & achievements of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history is outrageous & deeply offensive. These heroes deserve our respect and gratitude. The administration should restore these honors NOW. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

🙋‍♂️I have questions. Who are the Nazis in this metaphor?

War torn Portland. I am

An absolute nonsensical mess of free association. 25th Amendment.

I see someone has binged on “Patton” a few too many times.

The 3 stages of grief: denial, anger, ballroom

So it's kind of like what they think of as socialism, but like, maybe, a national kind?

er… no. The American Civil War and the Second World War— the two American wars with the most American casualties— both ended with unconditional surrenders.

Concentration camp, pure and simple

Dachau in July 1933... reported in the New York Times timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine...

Trying to imagine Hitler and Goebbels preening for photos at a concentration camp, wearing stupid little hats like these.

In Trump's America, duly elected US Senators are handcuffed for asking questions.

This is how it's done. No Kabuki theater, just truth and facts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl4e...

Fascism, fascism, fascism.

What a privilege to have written about two extraordinary Americans, both of whom have since had statues made in their honor. They could not have been more different in temperament or leadership style— but each showed the best that America has to offer. Major Dick Winters and Major Robert Rosenthal,

Racist, plain and simple (this is not new news however).

A key part of Hitler's 50th birthday celebration was a parade which included 12 companies of the Luftwaffe, 12 companies of the army, and 12 companies of the navy and units of the Schutzstaffel (SS). In total, 40,000 to 50,000 German troops took part. 162 warplanes also flew over Berlin.

"And with the sponsorship of this trade, culture shall once more blossom, and not only culture will benefit, but religion will also prosper. In other words: we are heading towards a golden age!" Adolf Hitler', Berlin Sportpalast, January 30, 1940.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

At least he’s being honest? To think of how many Americans died for the Constitution… It’s rather dispiriting.

The proposed budget includes a bonus averaging $42,000 per ICE employee. $42,000 *bonus.*. It's hard not to read that as bribe to do really bad stuff. Or as a bribe for loyalty to the man who gives it to them. This is dark stuff. youtu.be/wcnMbCV2EsU?...

Madness

We are at the point in history where Germany is having to lecture the US on the need to fight fascism.

The corruption is on such a scale as to overwhelm us.

This is what the men I have written about in the Second World War were fighting against. The behavior of ICE is fascism, pure and simple-- no grayness, no room to call it other than it is. Fascism on our shores.

Germany, 1936.

Trump’s vision for America in 2014: You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the economy goes to total hell and everything is a disaster, then you’ll have, you know, you’ll have riots to go back to where we were when we were great”. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Hey! anyone know how to change your profile pic?

For all those that wanted to see MASTERS OF THE AIR, now is your chance to see it with no fees.

Not to be a stickler, but we did not go to war with Nazi Germany on December 7. It wasn’t until four days later, when Hitler declared war on America, that we were at war with the Nazis.

This idea/qquestion was on my mind the entire time I was working on “masters of the air“ during the first Trump administration.

Confession: I am not in love with the 2nd syllable of this site. My mind keeps reading it as "blue-skee". The feeds even more so. #scriptsky reads to me as "script-skee", etc. Maybe it's just my slavic heritage coming out, where every other last name ends with "sky": Minsky, Kawalsky, etc...

Any good film hashtags to follow? I have way too much politics in my feed RN.... Here's a pic of my dog and catto cleanse any palates...

Screenwriting is structure, structure, structure. “For every 500 great dialogue writers, there are five great constructionists. That’s the toughest job in the world”— Billy Wilder. #scriptsky

Roeg’s The Man Who Fell to Earth” is a Christmas movie. convince me otherwise.

This is what normalization looks like. Exactly. Precisely.

Sometimes it feels like all my work about the war just disappears into the ether…

Hello Bluesky! Hello #scriptsky. Any film/tv follows I should know about?

argh. my first post here, and i screwed up. the theme to “Band of Bros” played at Auburn: (not massive of the air as I posted earlier)
