QUICK THREAD:

I had the great fortune to see the musical Cabaret performed on Broadway, with @Alancumming & the late Natasha Richardson.

The theater was set up as the Kit Kat Club, and my friend and I drank Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame as we watched in awe.

I& #39;ve just realized...
We are living in a Cabaret moment.
For those who do not know, Cabaret is set in 1931 Germany, as the Nazis are coming to power.

Life is a Cabaret until the end, when

[SPOILER ALERT]

the Nazis storm in and everyone is gassed.

This noise & chaos unfolding in our collective background is our Cabaret moment.
We really are in a world on the brink of war.

We are in a country in which one openly Socialist side is currently gearing up to overthrow our way of life and our way of governing.

And I feel like we are trying to sing above it rather than confront it for what it is.
We KNOW their plans, because they TOLD US!

The election is a month away, and

WE HAVEN& #39;T WAR-GAMED SHIT!

We are too busy drowning out Cardi B& #39;s WAP.
This is happening, guys.

We need to plan a sane, responsible, effective response.

Let& #39;s not get caught on stage.

Let& #39;s not pretend the alternative to preparing for what is coming will not be every bit as dire.

Let us not get distracted...
