He was somebody who had the reputation of being incredibly nice and fun to work with, but could also play some skeezeball characters to perfection. He played a great fuckboi in True Lies

my mother (who passed away not too long ago) said that the way you know you are well in to middle age is that all of your favorite celebrities start dying, and you realize some of them aren’t that much older than you are . . .

My prayers and thoughts for his family.

My family didn’t go to the movies a lot when I was growing up/a teenager. We wanted to till everything came to the video store (Video Library, Hollywood Video, my dad hated Blockbuster). So in 96 it was a big deal when we all went and saw the most talked about movie of the time “Twister.” We didn’t go see another…

So no fucking response to Tom’s record on police reform, voter suppression, or the unions that supported him? No response to the unemployment rate? Just more rants about TPP and racial slurs? So any person who supports Bernie and Keith but also supports whoever wins is a “neoliberal shill”?

Yeah, sure my Black/Arab/Berber ass who voted for Bernie in the primary is a “Clintonite Corporatist.” Never mind that I wrote that I originally supported Pete or Keith before Tom...but how dare I say Tom is a also a good person and will do a good job. Never mind the fact that I pounded the pavement for Bernie during…

It’s gonna be okay

That’s not a statistically representative response.

You do realize that Perez is one of the most liberal members of Obama’s cabinet and has fought hard for civil rights and basically revamped the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division? For example, he fought against the insane Texas voter ID law and housing discrimination? I know Greenwald and company like to trot out the handful…

Here’s that “bunch of old white men”:

You hate minority voices when they don’t parrot your talking points.

He’s gracious but i’m sure he wanted this.

Obviously Hillary threatened Ellison’s family, just like Bernie’s.

Keith is class act.

Yeah, Ellison probably was upset that he lost. Who wouldn’t be? But he’s not going turn his back on the party over it because he’s an adult.

 Right? When your candidate loses and then backs the winner, damn it you back the winner too! You don’t just fucking give up! People say they trust Ellison and his judgment, but then don’t actually follow his lead or what he says. The same when Sanders lost the nomination to Clinton. Arrrrrghhh people acting like…

I want to star this a million times. Perez will do the day to day organizing while Ellison as “ceremonial” deputy chief will be the firebrand and still keep his seat which is important right now. Revolution goes back to where it started but a sustained social movement will get us progress.
