From comments section of the NYT review of Hamnet: Bob Maryland • 3 months ago For an alternative perspective on this film, I highly recommend Walter Chaw's review. llm Philadelphia • 3 months ago @Bob ...read it; it's great Thanks for recommending And also maybe I especially liked it because I dislike overly made-up fictionalized biographies with only the thinnest relationship to the actual lives lived ...and movie directors who manipulate our emotions - with gratuitous demonstrations of grieving Vijay Oakland • 3 months ago @Bob I'm dying laughing reading this review.

Letter to Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin: Senator Durbin, As a federal employee who has been locked out of his job for the past 40 days, has just witnessed an outpour of electoral support for candidates who are fighting this administration, and has lauded the many Chicagoans putting their bodies on the line to protect immigrants from this fascist government, I find it abominable that you would capitulate and vote to consider a minibus bill that offers absolutely nothing substantive to American citizens and will further enable this administration to terrorize its citizens despite the significant leverage that the Democrats currently have and the deep unpopularity of the President. Not only is this a moral failure that will tarnish your legacy beyond well beyond your days, it is an abject failure in your position as minority whip. There is still time for you to vote against this resolution, and while I hope you will come to your senses and do the right thing, you have shown a lack of the character, integrity, and humility to do so. You should be deeply ashamed of your support of this bill, and are rightfully condemned for it. I understand that this is your last term in office. After this depressing spectacle, your retirement is insufficient. You should immediately relinquish your role as minority whip and resign to allow Governor Pritzker to nominate a replacement who will actually fight for Americans. I ask that you extend to the millions of Democratic voters the same courtesy in capitulating to their demands as you so often do to you Republican colleagues. Resign. Today. Sincerely and contemptuously, [Name Redacted]

Perkins’ primary role as Secretary of Labor for FDR was helping to write much of his key legislation to benefit the millions of impoverished Americans in the Great Depression. This included the Social Security Act of 1935. She also chaired the President’s Committee on Economic Security, which oversaw all the New Deal’s economic legislation goals. She refused to deport the radical International Longshore and Warehouse Union head Harry Bridges in 1939, angering congressional conservatives, but she faced no real pressure to step down. She famously called General Motors head Alfred Sloan in the middle of the night once, yelling at him for not settling with the United Auto Workers. She said, “You don’t deserve to be counted among decent men. You’ll go to hell when you die.”
