Ep 877: Resistance Theater! (1940's Movies And This Week's News)
It's time to explore "Resistance Theater" through two powerful World War II-era films: "Passage to Marseilles" (1944) and "Pimpernel Smith" (1941). These classic propaganda films draw fascinating parallels to current events, and it's worth examining how MAGA forces are attempting to erase and rewrite history through modern tactics. From book banning at military bases to corporate attempts to appease Trump, this episode analyzes how resistance to fascism remains relevant today. The episode includes discussions of historic films while tying them to contemporary threats to democracy, media manipulation, and the importance of preserving historical truth. This wide-ranging conversation also covers notable news, including Wisconsin voting rights, DeJoy's departure from USPS, Trump's Ukraine plans, and Musk's invasion of YOUR Social Security data.

Maybe add a "Share on BlueSky" button in addition to, or instead of, share on Twitter? Of whatever other platforms y'all are on (Mastadon?). I only know you're both on BlueSky now.
Am I still allowed to post on this Bl0g even though I do not refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the recently self proclaimed King renamed it as the Gulf of America?
Sone, perhaps the Caddy who hands him his royal putter could put the bug in his crown to rename the Earth's Moon.
He can rename it Moon of America. Name it Barron, after his child.
Of course he can proclaim the Moon belongs to America and how we are going to like it, cherish it, stroke it and build beautiful Trump Towers with casinos on it for the wealthy too get away from the rodents.
Then of course the Solar system remains open to being renamed and who owns it?
And what about this galaxy Earth is part of. Shouldn't it be Galaxy of America?
