The Academy Awards
Like many Americans I watched the Academy Awards last night. I appreciate Jimmy Kimmel’s wit, and his fearless opposition to the racist and neo-fascist intentions of the Republican party. On balance the crowd in the auditorium are pro-humanity, and to that extent they are “my people.” The ABC Oscars event presented two high points for me. Ironically one was a twitter ad. This line stuck in my consciousness:
A bridge,–not a border. -Twitter Ad
The second element was the spoken word and musical number by Common and Andra Day, Stand Up for Something.
