Ginsburg’s son, James criticised the foundation, saying his mother would be “appalled” at the honourees.Ginsburg told CNN: “When you think of trying to create a more just society, which of course was mom’s ultimate goal, those are probably about the last names that would come to mind.”Calling the news a “desecration to [his] mother’s memory”, he said: “I think she’d be appalled.”Yesterday (March 18) Barbra Streisand took to Instagram to show her support for the Ginsburg family, and join them in condemning the choice of honourees for the ceremony.Reflecting on receiving the honour from Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor last year, Streisand wrote: “Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor stand as two of the most respected women role models, and their commitment to democratic values, especially women’s rights, is unequaled.”A post shared by Barbra Streisand (@barbrastreisand)She continued: “That’s why I join the Ginsburg family in condemning the choice of honourees this year.

Gina Carano says struggle for work after ‘The Mandalorian’ like “sitting in the desert”
Disney has been like “sitting in the desert”.In 2021, the MMA fighter-turned-actor was fired by Disney and the show The Mandalorian after she posted a string of controversial opinions online.Carano has recently filed a lawsuit against Disney and its subsidiary Lucasfilm, alleging that the production companies wrongfully terminated her from The Mandalorian and other Star Wars titles for sharing a range of far-right opinions.Last month, Elon Musk said he would help to fund Carano’s suit.The posts in question saw Carano — who portrayed Cara Dune on The Mandalorian — upload a string of controversial posts, one of which compared the treatment of conservatives in the US to that of Jewish people in Nazi Germany.Others included ridiculing mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, and furthering false suggestions of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. Carano also shared online comments criticising protesters during the Black Lives Matter movement.And now, in an interview with The Post Millennial, she has spoken out about the knock-on effects of the firing, saying that it has “stuck” on her, making it difficult for her to get acting work or to attract an agent.“It’s like I’ve been in this desert where I belong nowhere,” she explained.
