Stop Taking Photos of the Movie Screen During the Movie. No, Seriously, Knock It Off We shouldn't have to tell you not to take pictures of the screen while you're watching a movie in the theater, but apparently we do.

“You wanna take a photo for the ‘gram? Take one of the movie poster, or the marquee, or your ticket stub if you’re at a theater that still messes with those. Do literally anything that does not require you to take out your phone during the movie…”

You make an excellent point but that wouldn't appease the car lobby.

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

""If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you
teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime," but
you have done neither. You have stood before us and
eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as
you have done so. You have cast aside their offal and
simultaneously chided us for our waste. You then
told us that, coincidentally, you owned the river, and
our parents should have gotten us the same if we
wanted fish. You gave a man a fish to murder us if
we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or
eat a fish from another river. You've copyrighted the
fishing net. It costs us fish to leave."

Trump’s Biggest “Fuck You” Yet to Higher Education and the Rest of the World He and his regime are mounting an assault on the American mind. Why? Because ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

Trump is escalating his war against American higher education and against the rest of the world. We will be the worse for this.

Why? Because ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-i-told-the-ed-school-graduates

The man who wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the United States because of terrorism is meeting this week with the former head of Al Qaeda in Syria.

But if the masses are badly educated, understanding whole sentences could be a bit of a stretch.

It doesn't have to be subtle. The US is in the Trump thrall. There is no longer right and wrong. Everything is right.

Yeah but Trump doesn't know what the constitution is for. That's his get out of jail free card. Another one. He has a whole deck.

US grants asylum to 54 white Afrikaner South Africans, reports say Donald Trump has directed officials to grant refugee status to Afrikaners who he claims suffer discrimination

54 Afrikaners have been given refugee status in America.

These white Christian Nationalists make up 7% of the population in South Africa, but own 70% of the wealth.

You can see why they had to get the hell out of there. America is far safer for racist billionaires.
