Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

The original prints of the 1931 movie "Dracula" were tinted green. This was done using Kodak Sonochrome, pre-tinted film stock. But we just think of it as B&W anymore ...

The capitalist class converts your life-time into leisure-time for themselves. Time to get organized, comrades.

THE JOCKEY OF DEATH (1915), a circus pulp adventure starring real acrobats, is one of the most bonkers silents of the era and that's saying something. Deserves to be more widely known.

DODGE will continue to cost us. They closed agencies that generated revenue for the government and made big cuts to programs that went after fraud and inefficiency.
