Been on a George Sanders kick lately so I'm going to share some of my favorites as I go. First up: Lured (1947). Probably George at his best. Flip, suave, sardonic, and sexy. Lucille is great here too. I love her in more dramatic roles

Women had never competed in powerlifting at the #Olympics before women competed in the Gay Games. When my small crew of gym-going lesbians formed a team to compete in the first Gay Games in 1982, we were pioneers.

There is a persistent illusion in contemporary public life: the belief that constant debate equals vigilance. That as long as society is arguing loudly, something important must be happening.
This illusion is comforting — and deeply misleading.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence.
It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
