In some ways it shared same flaw as Killers of the Flower Moon, by centering Leo, especially as losers, you have to flatten the non-white women who are the plot while through the lens of white male filmmakers who feel the need to redeem whiteness while they seek to also vilify it.

NPR’s Aisha Harris, who overall liked the film, did discuss this in the episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour about the movie.

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

Don't threaten me with a good time!

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

At a time when we should be guaranteeing health care to all Americans as a human right, President Trump and his Republican colleagues are threatening to make our broken system even worse by doubling premiums for more than 20 million Americans.

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

An already dumb world just got a chunk dumber. RIP Jane Goodall.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Along with colleagues, I was a talking head and had the honor of introducing the film and doing a Q&A with the producers. Look out for it at a film festival near you!

At the heart of the film are the young developers who are helping us build the technology and in doing so are building lives that keep them in their communities, families and homes.

The doc details the work of the People’s Clearing House who see remittances, when linked to community owned micro banks, as a powerful development tool geared to creating conditions where people don’t have to leave for a better life.

Flying home from a great week doing our #digitalfinancialinclusion work at the Interledger Foundation. One highlight was the debut of the documentary film, The People’s Code, about the work we fund creating open payment remittance pathways between migrant workers in the U.S. and Mexico.
