Yes, we are all Belén. 😢
The movie Belén is Argentina’s International Feature Film entry for the upcoming Oscars. The true story follows Belén (a pseudonym), who is falsely imprisoned for having an abortion when she really had a miscarriage.

We Are All Belén
Belén is both a reminder and a warning: when abortion is criminalized, we risk harming anyone with a uterus, and it’s already happening.

The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible.
I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

It has been 13 years since my neighbor killed 26 in Sandy Hook. 13 years of more children & young people being shot at schools. 13 years of watching this country refuse to learn. How much longer until Americans choose children’s #FreedomToLive over guns?
As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough?

"All for the imperial dreams of a tyrant" encapsulates a lot of world history. it is a devastating phrase, albeit also beautifully crafted.
Yesterday, in just one day, I am told that the Ukrainians killed or critically wounded 900 Russians. In one day. All for the imperial dreams of a tyrant

Gun diplomacy minus the diplomacy part he means
Angus: But what Trump wants is to bring back the 19th-century gunboat diplomacy of the Monroe Doctrine, where he’s effectively declaring that North America and South America will be run by the US. In that worldview, Canada becomes a vassal state… that’s not going to happen.

Current US Policy:
If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
