This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. Weโ€™ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Donโ€™t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

holding a hardcover copy of Omar El Akkadโ€™s book ONE DAY, EVERYONE WILL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST THIS

โ€œone day, when itโ€™s safe, when thereโ€™s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when itโ€™s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.โ€

that was Omar El Akkadโ€™s tweet. 2 years later, iโ€™m preparing to discuss this with the senior centerโ€™s book club. ๐Ÿ“š

Maybe I just do not respect it but I really do not care about the White House being torn down, does not seem like pressing news to me compared to anything else theyโ€™re up to

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

Strongly recommend the Adam Friedland Show episode with Ritchie Torres. Very revealing of the kinds of folks we have โ€œrepresentingโ€ us. Adam really won me over when he was being so genuine and vulnerable. Moving to see his whole ironic veneer just erode to Torresโ€™s lack of humanity.

โ€˜SINNERSโ€™ is estimated to earn a phenomenal $42M domestically this weekend, a 10% drop

โ€ข Would be the smallest box office drop for a major movie in modern history

โ€ข Strong chance the film could earn more this weekend than last weekend

The salute discourse is so pointless. Obviously it was a salute and obviously his fans wonโ€™t admit it because in spite of all the loser shit he does and says, they are still his fans!

We used to punch Nazis. Now we make Jubilee videos with them.

Every movie is a horror movie when youโ€™re watching it with someone who keeps asking, โ€˜Wait, whatโ€™s going on? Whoโ€™s that? What just happened?

David Lynchโ€™s passing has hit me hard. His work left a strong impact on me. He changed what I thought film was supposed to be. He made me see cinema as more than just entertainment, but an art form. Communication. A way to see our world by going someplace else. Someplace wonderful and strange. RIP

I will never be able to vibe with the contingent that equate film quality with monetary success. I get the idealistic urge to want to attach an easy barometer but itโ€™s such a bogus goal post. Movies have different costs, different audiences, different timelines at finding an audience. Let them live.
