(CNN)Sen. Joe Manchin, a centrist Democrat from West Virginia, said Tuesday that he does not support the two gun safety bills the House passed earlier this month and instead is still pushing to pass the more narrow Manchin-Toomey compromise bill that he developed with Republican Sen. Pat Toomey -- but failed to pass -- after the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting.
"No, I don't support what the House passed," Manchin told CNN as he left the Senate floor. "Not at all."
Manchin's opposition underscores a major divide among Democrats over how to tackle gun control -- a key priority for their voters -- even as the party now controls Congress and the White House and faces intense pressure to take action in the wake of a massacre at a Colorado supermarket that left 10 dead, including a store manager and a police officer.
The chances the Senate could pass any gun legislation remain highly unlikely given that would require significant Republican support to overcome a filibuster. But Manchin's stance shows that Democratic leaders would not even be able to count on votes from their entire caucus for gun legislation passed by the Democratic-controlled House, making any effort to pass the bills even more challenging and divisive for their party.

One year on from the UK's first lockdown, clubs remain closed. This audiovisual film by Tom Andrew and Sam Davis aims to capture this profound sense of loss and longing, setting shots of empty dance floors across England to original music by Daniel Avery. VOID - One Year Of Silence is an audiovisual experience best enjoyed in full, with the lights down and the volume up. A year ago to the day, the UK entered its first lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic. 66 million people were ordered to stay at home as all but essential businesses shut. Nightclubs, once abuzz with life and dancing, were left empty. Clubbers, many of whom relied on these spaces as sanctuaries away from the stresses of everyday life, suddenly had nowhere to go. Some of these venues will never reopen. Others still have at least three months to wait until ravers can return.
A handful of these venues appear in VOID - One Year Of Silence, a short film by British filmmakers Tom Andrew and Sam Davis. For the audiovisual piece, Andrew and Davis visited clubs across England, filming and photographing their empty dance floors. Shots of cavernous clubs and warehouses coalesce with original music by Daniel Avery. The aim of the project, as well as reflecting on a year without clubbing and human connection, is to raise money and awareness for CALM, a charity leading the movement against suicide in the UK. You can donate here.
Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide in the UK, offering life-saving services, provoking national conversation and bringing people together to empower everyone to reject living miserably and stand together against suicide. Right now CALM is needed more than ever. Since lockdown their helpline answered more than 124,000 calls and web chats. That's one every 56 seconds. If you're struggling, talk to CALM on 0800 58 58 58 or via their web chat. Their trained helpline staff are available from 5 PM through midnight every day to provide practical support and advice.

A hallmark of any disaster film is the gradual unravelling of normality – until the scarcely believable becomes the everyday. So it proved with Covid. What started as a mystery virus in a far off Chinese city soon turned into a tide surging across the western world – one that would in time engulf us all. When Prime Minister Boris Johnson held a press conference on March 23 to announce the imposition of a new national lockdown, it was clear our lives would be fundamentally altered.
Over the ensuing 12 months our world has changed, almost beyond recognition. We have witnessed abandoned city centres, empty motorways, sealed off playgrounds, field hospitals and makeshift morgues. Our only connection with distant loved ones has come from behind a computer screen or pane of glass. A year in lockdown has precipitated scenes never previously imaginable; a disaster in which we all have played a reluctant role.

Line of the morning, from Jon Meacham: 'When someone uses PowerPoint, they have neither.'
March 23, 2021
GOP Sen Ron Johnson complained angrily early this year that Democratic colleague Gary Peters had
accused him of spreading Russian propaganda, but report by US intelligence officials last week showed that spreading Russian propaganda is exactly what he did.

Assaulting the Truth, Ron Johnson Helps Erode Confidence in Government
Pushing false theories on the virus, the vaccine and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Mr. Johnson, the Republican senator from Wisconsin, has absorbed his party’s transformation under Donald Trump.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/21/us/politics/ron-johnson-wisconsin-misinformation.html
BROOKFIELD, Wis. — Senator Ron Johnson incited widespread outrage when he said recently that he would have been more afraid of the rioters who rampaged the Capitol on Jan. 6 had they been members of Black Lives Matter and antifa. But his revealing and incendiary comment, which quickly prompted accusations of racism, came as no surprise to those who have followed Mr. Johnson’s career in Washington or back home in Wisconsin. He has become the Republican Party’s foremost amplifier of conspiracy theories and disinformation now that Donald Trump himself is banned from social media and largely avoiding appearances on cable television.
Mr. Johnson is an all-access purveyor of misinformation on serious issues such as the pandemic and the legitimacy of American democracy, as well as invoking the etymology of Greenland as a way to downplay the effects of climate change. In recent months, Mr. Johnson has sown doubts about President Biden’s victory, argued that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was not an armed insurrection, promoted discredited Covid-19 treatments, said he saw no need to get the coronavirus vaccine himself and claimed that the United States could have ended the pandemic a year ago with the development of a generic drug if the government had wanted that to happen.
https://twitter.com/Emilee_Fannon/status/1369760015419072513
Last year, he spent months as chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee seeking evidence that Mr. Biden had tried to pressure Ukrainian officials to aid his son Hunter, which an Intelligence Community report released on Monday said was misinformation that was spread by Russia to help Mr. Trump’s re-election. Mr. Johnson has also become the leading Republican proponent of a revisionist effort to deny the motives and violence of the mob that breached the Capitol. At a Senate hearing to examine the events of that day, Mr. Johnson read into the record an account from a far-right website attributing the violence to “agents-provocateurs” and “fake Trump protesters.” On Saturday, he told a conference of conservative political organizers in Wisconsin that “there was no violence on the Senate side, in terms of the chamber.” In fact, Trump supporters stormed the chamber shortly after senators were evacuated.
https://twitter.com/RicoReporting/status/1373370003181961224
His continuing assault on the truth, often under the guise of simply “asking questions” about established facts, is helping to diminish confidence in American institutions at a perilous moment, when the health and economic well-being of the nation relies heavily on mass vaccinations, and when faith in democracy is shaken by right-wing falsehoods about voting. Republicans are 27 percentage points less likely than Democrats to say they plan to get, or have already received, a vaccine, a Pew Research Center study released this month found. In an interview, Mr. Johnson repeatedly refused to say that vaccines were safe or to encourage people to get them, resorting instead to insinuations — “there’s still so much we don’t know about all of this” — that undermine efforts to defeat the pandemic.

Cuellar released images as Biden administration under growing pressure over border conditions
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/22/migrant-detention-center-photos-texas-facility
The Democratic congressman Henry Cuellar has brought more pain for the Joe Biden administration on its border policy by releasing pictures of an overcrowded immigration facility in Texas where he said more than 400 male minors were being held in a section meant for 250.
The White House is under growing pressure over conditions at the southern border, where federal authorities are trying to cope with an increase in migrant crossings from Mexico, many by unaccompanied minors, while staying true to Biden’s promise to implement a more humane policy than that pursued by Donald Trump. Cuellar said the images showed a facility in Donna, Texas, that contained eight plastic-divided “pods” used to hold migrants. He said he did not visit the facility himself. The pictures showed migrants covered in foil blankets and lying on plastic mattresses.
Under US policy, children are not supposed to be held in custody for more than three days. More than 2,000 have currently passed that limit. Controversy is also mounting over the Biden administration’s refusal to allow press access to such border facilities. Cuellar gave the pictures to Axios and described “terrible conditions for the children”, who he said should be moved into the care of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Border patrol agents were “doing the best they can under the circumstances”, the congressman said, but were “not equipped to care for kids” and “need help from the administration”. “We have to stop kids and families from making the dangerous trek across Mexico to come to the United States,” Cuellar said. “We have to work with Mexico and Central American countries to have them apply for asylum in their countries.”
snip
the RW press has been using Cuellar as a weapon against Biden well before this
Cuellar is by far the worst Democratic House member. Deep blue district (never in history has it elected a Rethug) but he is an anti-LGBTQ bigot, a virulent forced-birther, voted with Trump almost 70% of the time in the 115th Congress, A- rated by the NRA, anti-immigrant, massively pro big oil, very poor on climate change, and anti green tech, he fundraised and campaigned for the RW racist Rethug climate change denialist John Carter, he is the biggest Dem recipient (and almost the biggest in the entire House) of funding by the Trump scandal ridden private prison GEO Group (who also run immigrant detention camps, and NOT the one Cuellar is dropping pics of, quelle surprise).
We need a good sold centrist (but one who believes in the Democratic core platform, unlike Cellar, and who isn't anti LQBTQ and who isn't a rabid forced birther, etc) to primary him, NOT a progressive, as they cannot win there. Cuellar is the only sitting Dem I support primarying, especially as it is safe Blue seat. I NEVER advocate primarying vulnerable Democrats in pink, purple, red districts.

https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/gloria-allorbi-homemade-shito-ghana
In January of 2020, Gloria Allorbi, returned to Los Angeles from her first trip home to Ghana in over ten years. The food she found herself eating back in the U.S. was falling flat in comparison to the dishes she had just been enjoying in Ghana. The owner of Gloria’s Shito, Allorbi describes herself as having become somewhat “snobbish” about the food around her, and after contemplating why it was that she was so discontent with what she was eating, she realized one very crucial component was missing: shito. For those who aren’t familiar, shito, which translates to “pepper” in the Ga language, is a hot pepper condiment widely used throughout Ghana. I jokingly refer to it as Ghana’s national ketchup because of how often Ghanaians use it. Allorbi describes it as “spicy, umami, and a bit sweet from the onions and tomatoes.” Although recipes differ, shito is primarily composed of oil, onions, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, scotch bonnet, and dried fish and prawns. It’s dark in color and provides the perfect kick of heat for everything from rice to beans to plantains.
As Allorbi yearned for the tastes of home, she said to herself, “If I can learn to make shito, then I can put it on everything,” which would alleviate her food woes. She works as a cosmetic chemist from Monday through Friday, so Gloria’s Shito really began just as a weekend project, not as something she had planned to turn into a business. Allorbi loves to cook, and as someone who knows her way around the kitchen, she knew that she could put her own recipe together, and with the guidance of her cousin and her mother, she was able to begin doing just that. “Shito takes forever,” she told me as we spoke. The dehydration process in particular is what takes so long, as you’re trying to get as much water out as possible, so that it becomes a preserve. This lengthy process, however, turned out to be a very good thing. With the onset of the pandemic in March, she found herself “being inundated with so much information, or a lack thereof at times, about what was going on in the world.” Making shito became a very necessary distraction for her, as chaos seemed to rage on in the outside world.
Allorbi's first challenge was finding out where to source the necessary ingredients. “Ingredients like dried seafood aren’t very common in the United States, so I had to be smart about it,” says Allorbi. Living in a city as multicultural as Los Angeles was a huge benefit to her as she sourced her ingredients. While there aren’t very many African grocery stores in the city, there are luckily a plethora of Asian grocery stores, many of which sell the dried seafood ingredients that Allorbi needed for her recipe. She’s named the business Gloria’s Shito, because she wanted to take ownership over the fact that this was her specific recipe. She didn’t want to call it “authentic Ghanaian shito” because “everyone has their own interpretation of how to make shito.” For Allorbi, her recipe is a combination of the way her mom used to cook it and the culinary innovation necessitated by not having access to the same ingredients she would in Ghana. For instance, in Ghana, shito would usually be prepared with scotch bonnet peppers, which aren’t as popular in the U.S., so Allorbi uses habanero peppers instead.
Last summer, as protests against police brutality and institutional racism gained momentum all across the country, and as the U.S. as a nation continued to feel more and more fragmented, sharing shito with others from different backgrounds served as a powerful reminder to Gloria of how connected we all are. She was surprised to find how open and receptive people were to Shito, and how for many of them it was reminiscent of something they eat where they’re from. “I would love for more people to become aware of shito,” she told me, “I want the rest of the world to be blessed with the joy-evoking foods and flavors of Ghana.” Over the next year, Gloria’s mission is to “put shito on the global culinary map.” More than anything, she wants to pay homage to the place she comes from and connect people from all walks of life through food.

Gloria Allorbi Wants to Put Ghana's Favorite Condiment on the Global Map

In its ongoing campaign to quash “misinformation” about the fossil fuel industry, the Canadian Energy Centre (CEC) has set its sights on Netflix. The organization, which is backed by the government of Alberta, has specifically taken issue with the cg feature Bigfoot Family. The family film puts a spin on the legend of Bigfoot. The story pits the creature and his son against Xtract, a fictional energy company which has designs on Alaska’s oil reserves. While protesting against the company, Bigfoot goes missing.
The CEC has slammed the film in a petition titled “Tell the truth Netflix!” Addressed to Lindsey Scully, Netflix Canada’s head of communications, it calls on the streamer “to tell the true story of Canada’s peerless oil and gas industry, and not contribute to misinformation targeting your youngest, most vulnerable and impressionable viewers.” It does not make more specific requests.
The petition is hosted on a site called Support Canadian Energy, which is described as “a Canadian Energy Centre project.” Text accompanying the petition adds that the film “peddles lies about the energy sector,” singling out a scene in which oil is extracted “by blowing up a valley using glowing red bombs.” At the time of writing, more than 2,900 people have signed. CEC CEO Tom Olsen told CBC News that a concerned parent drew the organization’s attention to the film. He said more than 1,000 Canadians have sent emails to Netflix Canada to show their concern. CBC requested comment from Netflix Canada, which did not immediately respond.
The CEC was set up in 2019 by Alberta premier Jason Kenney, leader of the United Conservative Party, with the mandate to promote the country’s energy production. Nicknamed the Energy War Room, it launched with a budget of CAD$30 millino (USD$24.1), which was subsequently trimmed during the pandemic. Bigfoot Family is a Belgian-French co-production directed by Ben Stassen and Jeremy Degruson. The film, which played at Annecy Festival last year, ranked #1 on Netflix’s movie list in territories including the U.S. and Canada after launching last month.

Canadian Lobbyists Accuse Netflix's 'Bigfoot Family' Of 'Peddling Lies' About Oil And Gas
https://www.cartoonbrew.com/politics/canadian-lobbyists-accuse-netflixs-bigfoot-family-of-peddling-lies-about-oil-and-gas-203146.htmlIn its ongoing campaign to quash “misinformation” about the fossil fuel industry, the Canadian Energy Centre (CEC) has set its sights on Netflix. The organization, which is backed by the government of Alberta, has specifically taken issue with the cg feature Bigfoot Family. The family film puts a spin on the legend of Bigfoot. The story pits the creature and his son against Xtract, a fictional energy company which has designs on Alaska’s oil reserves. While protesting against the company, Bigfoot goes missing.
The CEC has slammed the film in a petition titled “Tell the truth Netflix!” Addressed to Lindsey Scully, Netflix Canada’s head of communications, it calls on the streamer “to tell the true story of Canada’s peerless oil and gas industry, and not contribute to misinformation targeting your youngest, most vulnerable and impressionable viewers.” It does not make more specific requests.
The petition is hosted on a site called Support Canadian Energy, which is described as “a Canadian Energy Centre project.” Text accompanying the petition adds that the film “peddles lies about the energy sector,” singling out a scene in which oil is extracted “by blowing up a valley using glowing red bombs.” At the time of writing, more than 2,900 people have signed. CEC CEO Tom Olsen told CBC News that a concerned parent drew the organization’s attention to the film. He said more than 1,000 Canadians have sent emails to Netflix Canada to show their concern. CBC requested comment from Netflix Canada, which did not immediately respond.
The CEC was set up in 2019 by Alberta premier Jason Kenney, leader of the United Conservative Party, with the mandate to promote the country’s energy production. Nicknamed the Energy War Room, it launched with a budget of CAD$30 millino (USD$24.1), which was subsequently trimmed during the pandemic. Bigfoot Family is a Belgian-French co-production directed by Ben Stassen and Jeremy Degruson. The film, which played at Annecy Festival last year, ranked #1 on Netflix’s movie list in territories including the U.S. and Canada after launching last month. It is a sequel to 2017’s box-office hit The Son of Bigfoot.
