Jane Fonda is urging Hollywood to fight these fraught times with empathy.

"What we, actors, create is empathy. Our job is to understand another human being so profoundly that we can touch their souls," said Fonda, who was honored on Sunday night with SAG's life achievement award. "And make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke. By the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people."

Thank you, Jane.

If only we could get those peckerwoods down in the 1st congressional district to rebuke tRump and turn on Andy Harris. Musk's cuts are going to hit them hard.

It's amazing that someone like Andy Harris could get elected in Maryland.

That says more about the residents in his district than it does about him. Anyone with an "R" in front of their name and the "proper" complexion.

All the former Presidents would be great to have as symbolic leaders of the resistance. As for actual roles, I can see Obama being great running management and budget, he's well organized and good at running a professional team. Don't think I'd have a real job for any of the others.
