A nationwide protest against the Donald Trump-Mike Pence presidential ticket and the Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett was coordinated Saturday by the Women’s March organization. More than 400 events were planned throughout the country.
Leading the battle in many cities were the women dressed in the red habits borrowed from “The Handmaid’s Tale” television adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel. The Washington, DC main event was permitted for 10,000 attendees.
Los Angeles, Pasadena, Long Beach, Torrance and Laguna Niguel were the sites for local protests on the main themes.
Some women wore white lace collars and black robes to honor the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Marchers were faced with counter-protesters at the Supreme Court, but the marches were generally peaceful. The densely packed crowds did not observe social distancing, and a number of participants did not wear masks.

Reports are circulating — on Twitter and elsewhere — that Donald Trump has cancelled Native American Heritage Month and replaced it with a new designation: National American History and Founders Month.
They think we are not paying attention as they implement their white nationalist agenda. This administration just replaced Native American History Month with National American History and Founders Month. The erasure of our indigenous fam is outrageous. https://t.co/J6CbLcn48o

They’re wrong. On Thursday, Trump continued a tradition started by President George H.

With Disney now having acquired 20th Century Fox, Marvel fans can’t wait for the X-Men, Deadpool and Fantastic Four – among others – to make their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. However, we’ve already been told that it may be a while before we see them show up.
Indeed, Kevin Feige has been eager to stress that these new properties won’t be entering the fold for a very long time, as there’s still a ton to do in terms of planning and plotting out storylines before the likes of Captain Marvel, Black Panther, and Spider-Man the Guardians of the Galaxy can cross paths with Wolverine, Magneto and Professor X.
Speaking of the latter two, though, and we’ve heard that Marvel Studios might be casting people of color for Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier. The casting of Zendaya as Mj and Tony Revolori as Flash in Spider-Man: Far From Home...

When the Sundance Film Festival announced that Amy Berg’s documentary about the Women’s March movement and two of its most visible leaders would join the lineup as a Special Event, it was known as “Til Everybody’s Free.” However, when the film from the “West of Memphis” and “Prophet’s Prey” director made its debut, it had a different title: “This Is Personal.” It’s a choice that partially skirts a major issue raised about the March’s leadership.
Shortly after Sundance announced the premiere of Berg’s documentary, a December Tablet Magazine story alleged anti-Semitism at the highest level of leadership within the growing organization founded in 2016. March founder Theresa Shook called for the resignation of March co-chairs Tamika Mallory, Bob Bland, Linda Sarsour, and Carmen Perez.
Both vital and almost instantly outdated, Berg’s film featured a revelatory section that focuses on early concerns regarding Mallory in particular.

Washington — Not 24 hours after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee to discuss graphic allegations of sexual assault, a hearing that was every bit as gripping and infuriating and historic as Anita Hill’s testimony 27 years earlier, senators returned to Capitol Hill to determine the fate of President Trump’s newest Supreme Court nominee. Four Democratic senators — Kamala Harris of California, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island — walked out of the hearing room Friday morning in protest.

‘Shame on You!’ Ben Shapiro, Muslim Activist Get Heated Over Linda Sarsour’s Use of the Word ‘Jihad’

Conservatives are freaking out over a speech — rather, a misquotation of a speech — given by Muslim-American activist, Linda Sarsour. Typically, any mention of Sarsour’s name is enough to make Gop blood boil. She’s Palestinian-American, an outspoken critic of the Trump administration, and served as co-chair of the Women’s March on Washington, D.C. But recently, conservatives have gotten extra heated over a short clip of Sarsour’s July 1 keynote speech at a community luncheon in Chicago. In her speech, Sarsour invoked a word that non-Muslims greatly misunderstand and fear: “jihad.” Also Read: Courtney Love Lashes Out at...
