That mirror shot in Contact (1997) is the kind of visual trick that still stops people cold, no matter how many times it’s been seen. One of the most jaw-dropping effects ever put on film.

I did not find out until I got home from school. I had Gifted & Talented that morning and thus was cut off from the news going out in classes. Some kids taunted me later in the day and I didn't believe them.
Do you remember the Challenger tragedy of tomorrow 1986--if so, how did you hear the news and what was your emotional reaction?

Homan to MN, Trump speaks with Walz, Leavitt distances Trump a bit from Noem—all show Trump’s feeling heat. But these gestures mean as much as Putin suggesting he’s changed and wants peace with Ukraine. Don’t fall for it. Insist: ICE and CBP off the streets of Minnesota.

We're seeing people who thought they were the protected in-group of Wilhoit's Law discover they are the bound out-group in real time
Watching the 2A crowd realize this language makes them targets too has really been something. The administration really fucked up by claiming that exercising his legal right to carry a firearm is the reason he’s dead.

If you’re middle-aged, you’ve probably done the math and know you may not live to see this repaired.

I have to say that as I watch the Smith hearing, the person I find myself feeling the most contempt for, excluding Trump, is neither in the room nor has he been mentioned, but yet his specter hangs heavily over it all. It's John Roberts.

I think the USA have one final chance to gain back a small part of it´s credibility by impeaching Trump before he starts a war for Greenland. Anyway, the damage is done. A people that is stupid enough to vote TWICE for this criminal mental case, will never be trusted as it was.

how embarrassing it will be that, if there is an autopsy performed on T***p after his death, it will be revealed that his brain was severely atrophied from dementia; & that he had had this condition for years.
BREAKING: A new CBS poll shows that a stunning 86 PERCENT of Americans oppose Trump taking Greenland by force. It’s almost impossible to get 86% of Americans to agree on anything. But that isn’t stopping Trump from ramping up his threats to take Greenland. Unhinged and dangerous.

What if Europe would play as dirty as Trump does? We could set a deadline: impeached Trump before March 31st or Europe will see all US bonds (wich are about 60% of the US bonds globally)…? The US dollar would drop to nowhere within hours. Let’s play!

The thread of a FIFA boycott should also be matched by Infantino publicly looking for new venues for World Cup games currently scheduled to be played in the United States. How many Canadian Football League stadiums can be pressed into service as soccer venues, for instance?
Boycott Talk Grows Around the 2026 World Cup as Trump’s Greenland Pressure Campaign Escalates The boycott conversation is real, and it is being treated as a political lever rather than a football plan. Over the last few days, European coverage has linked Donald Trump’s Greenland

Wait a second. I thought we were supposed to invade Greenland to protect ourselves from Putin. Trump’s own talking points on Greenland collapse the moment you look at them for more than five seconds. One day it is about strategic security, the next it sounds like a half baked

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

The European Union supports Denmark and the people of Greenland. We do so united in resolve. The measures against NATO allies announced today will not help in ensuring security in the Arctic. They risk the opposite, emboldening our joint enemies and those who wish to destroy our

Bookmark and save and screenshot all these insane tweets. Republican senators watching an ICE officer murdering a clearly innocent, non-threatening woman in her car, trying to drive away, and calling her a ‘fucking bitch’…and then saying ‘proud to stand’ with the killers.
The videos make clear: the ICE officer was justified and Democratic politicians lied about what happened. Proud to stand with our brave ICE officers against the left-wing mob.

"Even after shooting Good, ICE agents refused to allow a doctor who was at the scene to provide aid. When an ambulance arrived 15 minutes later, it was blocked by ICE vehicles." https://t.co/cH523G62g6

The federal agent who killed Renee Nicole Good shot her because he knew he could—because the Trump administration has purposely empowered law enforcement to act with impunity.

We're gonna end up in a world war, all because Republicans couldn't stand up to a mentally deficient, morally bankrupt, intellectually fetal spray-tanned rapist. Great work, kids...
