it's not your right to quiet the world. you as a human being are obligated to be in the world with other people even if that sucks shit sometimes. my neighbors listen to loud music and sometimes it's annoying but i also feel safe knowing my neighbors are okay and that if i need them they're there

I pretty much unequivocally don't care at this point whether it's McMorrow or el Sayed so long as this one loses

Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

Wait, I just found some clips online.
That's... look, I'll take Griffith at his word that he wasn't trying to seem borderline-fanatically bigoted, but really man; this could have used a second draft.

Was it just impossible to find mixed-race extras back then? All of these half-breed northern soldiers are played by white actors in makeup!

Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?)

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

I can explain it right now tbh, they don't consider the rest of us human much less American. It's not national suicide, it is a family annihilation perpetuated by people who lied and grifted and stole they way into power and are using it to consolidate resources ahead of the climate catastrophe

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

I used to think the death penalty is bad, but I've revised my opinion. It's bad when it's applied to the common people for "common" crimes because of the very real possibility of false conviction. But there's no risk of that when you are prosecuting a public official for something they did publicly.
