This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

I remember watching The Blues Brothers (1980) when I was a kid and being confused at the idea that certain places in the world were still having issues with nazis.

David Lynch, Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive director, dies aged 78 Film-maker who specialised in surreal, noir style mysteries made a string of influential, critically acclaimed works including Wild at Heart and Eraserhead

This is genuinely upsetting to me. It's fair to say that no other creative has had such a profound impact on my tastes in film and various other media.

York School of Defence So... Those of you who know me know that I'm fairly vocal about supporting the gay and trans communities and trying to help women have an equal voice in things. Plenty of people in the HEMASphere...

Well, the bigots are at it again. Some hate aimed towards me sent via one of my students who was on the receiving end. Just for me being an ally... I'm a cis het dude, imagine being gay/trans/a woman etc at the moment? The hate is real and is so much worse for them.

I don't care about watching a gen Z homophobic, transphobic attention seeker fight a convicted rapist boomer and neither should you.

By watching this shit you're supporting terrible people and their terrible actions.
