Mirror, mirror on the wall - who is the worst #actress of them all? And if they haven't died, they're still rebooting today ...
On the one hand I'm always happy when the right-wingers are busy with something unimportant, on the other hand it's a children's movie (is there anything less important to get mad about in the current crisis situation).
Ultimately, this all is too woke mob will ensure that we get even more franchises and that #Hollywood risks even less with new ideas. This will give us an even more unpalatable mishmash and less entertainment. So let the kids have their movies and tone down your racism ...

Musk’s Dad: Elon’s Not Racist—He Was Friends With ‘Black Servants’
The Musk patriarch also fondly recalled apartheid-era South Africa as as a “well-run, law abiding country.”Erkki Forster (The Daily Beast)
Today in Labor History March 21, 1960: South African police opened fire on peaceful black protesters, killing 69 and wounding 180 in the Sharpeville massacre. Many were shot in the back as they fled. Thousands had been out protesting the hated pass laws, when they decided to march on the police station. The town of Sharpeville had high unemployment and poverty. Its residents had been forcibly moved there from the neighboring town of Topville in 1958. Passbooks were used by the Apartheid regime to control the movement of black residents and to enforce segregation.

The US has pardoned insurrectionists twice before – and both times, years of violent racism followed
It’s not yet clear whether Trump’s pardons will herald a period of national harmony – as past presidents hoped for – or more incidents of violence, as actually resulted.The Conversation
IfNotNow on facebook:
It is reprehensible that MAGA Senators (who have aligned themselves with White Nationalists and antisemites like Elon Musk) are putting on this hearing to crack down on the movement for Palestinian rights, and for our civil liberties writ large— all under the guise of fighting antisemitism.
We refuse to let our Jewish community be the face of the Trump-Musk administration’s attacks on our rights.
