#Rob Watson

[not-equippedforthis]

forever mourning how granada holmes never adapted the three garridebs. diabolical. unbelievable, even. 'if you had killed watson you would not have made it out of this room alive' but in brett's frightfully intense and low, biting, hissing voice. the violent, wild stare versus the gentle hand on watson's knee. all of that precarious control getting flung out the window. the humanity of it. gritting my teeth can you fucking imagine.

some of the great maul talk from amca 92 on "visions and voices" (rebels s3e11)

transcript under the cut

(audio from star wars: rebels s3e11)

darth maul: it is unfortunate about your friends, ezra, but this, this is your opportunity to embrace your destiny... as my apprentice.

ezra bridger: i told you, that is never going to happen!

darth maul: forget the past! forget your memories! forget your attachments. our futures converge on a planet with two suns; we can walk that path together! as friends! ...as brothers.

(audio from a more civilized age ep 92)

rob: ...with sam witwer putting in that work!

austin: every time!

rob: to the point where... he gets a shakespearean monologue here, and is in full--the tragedy of maul unfolding here as he tries to get ezra to join him one last time. and it becomes clear that for maul--all really maul wants--beyond just the revenge--he needs all this to not be meaningless!

rob: that is how it feels. the thing that haunts him is that he's become aware. like rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead type self awareness. that ultimately, his role in the story is episode one. he is an apprentice who shows up, he fights one duel where he appears to be tougher than they expect, and then... he kills qui gon and is slain as part of obi wan's journey to becoming the great obi wan kenobi, master of anakin skywalker and future teacher of luke skywalker.

austin: he's a character who knows that without his specific actions, he's only going to have two paragraphs on the wookiepedia. and he's like, "i ain't goin out like that. i'm a main character!"

rob: and because of those two paragraphs, everyone he's ever known has been wiped out. dathomir is gone. he had a brother: wiped out. everything he's ever attempted is crushed and erased from history.

austin: it's like, "okay, do you want some more paragraphs? okay! each one's gonna be a tragedy." and he's like: "give me another one. i want another one. i'm going to have as many paragraphs as any of these other motherfuckers. i'll take the tragedy! i want them. i want it all."

ali: he's going through it. there was a pause when he says "forget your past forget your memories." i think he's projecting a little bit...

austin: are you kidding me??

ali: i think it would be healthy if he took that to heart.

austin: listen to yourself, my man. it's great. yeah, "forget your past, forget your memories, forget your attachments." you are the most attached man in the world! and you are attached to: obi wan kenobi.

rob: the only person who remembers who he is!

natalie: it's true! the only one who witnessed him at his peak!

austin: well, at every stage, in a way.

natalie: yeah true true true.

rob: he's bound to this guy!

Alex Woodward at The Independent:

Newark, New Jersey mayor Ras Baraka was arrested outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Elizabeth on Friday as the mayor and members of Congress joined demonstrations demanding answers from Donald Trump’s administration about the conditions inside, marking a major escalation of immigration protests surrounding the facility. Videos from outside the facility shows a chaotic scene with masked federal officers pushing against a crowd in the detention center’s parking lot as Baraka is shoved towards the building and then placed in handcuffs. New Jersey’s interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba — Trump’s personal attorney — accused the mayor of trespassing and ignoring warnings from federal law enforcement agents to leave. “He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW,” Habba wrote.

Lawmakers gathered in Newark on Friday to demand answers from ICE following the opening of the private, for-profit facility that can detain more than 1,000 people. In February, ICE agency awarded GEO Group a 15-year, $1 billion contract to hold immigrants facing deportation inside the two-story facility known as Delaney Hall. The building is near Newark Liberty International Airport, which has been used by the federal government to stage removal flights. Baraka, a Democratic candidate for the state’s governor, has vowed to join daily demonstrations outside the facility until city officials are allowed inside to inspect its conditions. He said government officials did not obtain necessary permits to jail immigrants there, and the city of Newark filed a lawsuit against the administration last month in a last-ditch attempt to prevent its opening. The facility opened May 1. Speaking on Fox News immediately following Baraka’s arrest, Habba refused to say where he is being detained.

“We will not stand for anyone getting in the way and getting rid of criminals in this country,” Habba said. “It’s very simple. Unfortunately, the mayor has publicly for three days been saying he will break in and eventually did break in and was given multiple opportunities to remove himself and failed to do so and has been detained and will be charged.” Three House members from New Jersey were allowed inside the facility on Friday, and Baraka was initially allowed into the fenced parking lot area before officers told him to leave and threatened him with arrest. A heated argument appeared to break out after agents blocked his entry and continued even after Baraka returned to the other side of the gates. In video from the scene, masked federal officers can be seen shoving back protesters and grabbing Democratic U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver past a fence into the facility as Baraka is moved towards the center. Agents appeared to swarm him and others as they blocked protesters from the fence.

McIver said she and Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman were “assaulted” and fellow New Jersey Rep. Robert Menendez Jr. was “roughed up” after what was supposed to be an “oversight visit.” Menendez called what happened to McIver an “assault.” “What we just witnessed was disgusting,” McIver said outside the facility. “If they can treat three members of Congress like that, just imagine how they can treat people on the street each and every day.” Watson Coleman said lawmakers had traveled to the facility to see the conditions. “We don’t know if everyone belongs there, and but we knew that people are OK, it’s safe, they’re feeding them,” she told reporters. “ICE is out of control. ICE thinks it can intimidate all of us. And it cannot intimidate any of us. And we the people will make sure that this administration adheres to the rules that separate us from dictatorships and other third world countries.”

The politically-motivated arrest of Newark mayor and possible New Jersey Gubernatorial candidate Ras Baraka (D) for protesting the opening of an ICE facility is an insult to American values. It’s another reason why ICE should be abolished and declared a terrorist organization.

I can't get the idea out of my head, so please consider; MJ invites Peter out along with some of her friends for dancing. Results may vary

ok this has been SITTING in my inbox. I was thinking about drawing something but ive caved and im just gonna talk.

YES. That girl can DANCE and she loves it!! I feel in the 19th and 20th century everyone could do a bit of social dancing because thats just what people did for fun. I think the Parkers and the Watsons both taught their kids to dance 'older' stuff they would have done when they were younger, like a solid waltz, quadrille, two-step, polka, what have you. MJ learned them all with fervor. Pete... learned some of them.

I think MJ and Pete would probably do (east coast) swing most often. Because they are hip and of the times. I think Pete probably would have had MJ and Robbie get to know each other through dance, actually. Like Robbie was around the welfare center when MJ was and Pete immediately was like Yes, now MJ can practice with him and not me (ultimate backfire because how he's got 2 partners)! Harlem is definitely the hot spot for swing, with black Americans engineering the whole thing. MJ was totally ecstatic to have a friend over there to run into who was a ready and willing partner!

I do have to say that MJ is a total back lead when it comes to Peter. They will ARGUE on the floor (in good fun). She'll be like 'do that one move I just taught you!' or 'If you fumble this texas tommy i'll kill you' or 'ok on this next backstep we're doing Charleston... aaand triple step, back step.' And Peter will snark back. Whenever she really wants to piss him off she'll make him practice Balboa (he thinks it looks stupid).

I don't have any candy. In case you haven't noticed, I live in the middle of nowhere, on a lake so remote it doesn't have a name, miles from any living soul who might chance upon my cabin looking for candy on Halloween. I have macaroni and cheese, Pop-Tarts, a banana.

Josh Marcus at The Independent:

The Department of Homeland Security is considering arresting members of Congress who were involved in a scuffle between New Jersey officials and guards outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center on Friday. The threatened arrests would mark a dramatic escalation of an already controversial incident that saw the arrest of Newark mayor Ras Baraka. “Whether you are a civilian, a mayor, or a member of Congress, if you are storming an an ICE detention facility and putting law enforcement and detainees at risk, you can bet that we will arrest you and you will face the law,” DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told CNN on Saturday. “You will face justice.” Federal authorities allege Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez, and LaMonica McIver, all New Jersey Democrats, “stormed the gate and broke into the detention facility” during an oversight visit at the Newark-area Delaney Hall Detention Center on Friday, an allegation the legislators have all denied. "Threatening to arrest Members of Congress for exercising their lawful oversight authority is another example of this administration abusing its power to try to intimidate anyone who stands up to them," a spokesperson for Watson Coleman told Axios. DHS says body camera footage of the scuffle, which took place in a parking lot area outside the detention center, shows McIver elbowing past a DHS agent, while McLaughlin has alleged one of the lawmakers “body slammed” an ICE officer.

“We were just simply there to do our jobs,” McIver told CNN in a separate interview. “We are congressional members. Our job is oversight. We were there to do that. That’s simply it. We did not come there to try to break people. We did not come there to cause chaos or cause any trouble.” "We're honestly surprised they released this footage given that it so wholly contradicts their claims,” Watson Coleman’s spokesperson added to Axios. “Nobody was 'body slammed,' nobody 'assaulted' any agents, and this footage confirms that."

Baraka was initially allowed into a fenced parking lot area outside the detention facility before officers told him to leave and threatened him with arrest. A chaotic scene later ensued as ICE agents, members of Congress, staff members, and gathered protesters pushed and shoved and shouted at each other.

The DHS’s threats to arrest three Democratic Congressmembers (Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez, and LaMonica McIver) after a scuffle at the ICE detention facility in Newark, NJ is an exercise in fascistic intimidation by the Tyrant 47 regime.
