The videos people are taking of ICE agents torturing human beings are breaking through.
And that is why they want us to be afraid to record them.

In case you missed this exchange! Rep. Bennie Thompson asked the FBI’s own National Security ops dir. to explain “ANTIFA.” Result? No members. No leadership. No HQ. No structure. No proof it even exists as an organization.
Yet it’s still labeled a “top domestic threat.”

Roger Ebert's essay on this film is an all-time classic of film criticism imho, and cuts right to the movie's genius: a film which defends tradition and pig-headed experience, but marshalled against nazism www.rogerebert.com/reviews/grea...
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp movie review (1943) | Roger Ebert
One of the many miracles of "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" is the way the movie transforms a blustering, pigheaded caricature into one of the most

This movie is so cool. Endlessly clever and beautiful, one of Martin Scorsese's all time favorites.
The entirety of Powell and Pressburger's THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COL. BLIMP (1943) is available on YouTube for free, so you have no excuse not to watch it
One of the gayest antifascist stories ever filmed, as well as just one of the best goddamn movies ever made, period
Hit that play button, folks!!

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art. At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always a prelude to fascism. They think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters."

Recommendation popped up for Abigail Devoe on YouTube today. Reviews mostly classic rock albums - not particularly our thing but she is so enthusiastic & refreshingly thoughtful & fun & everything we've watched so far has been a good time 👍

Damn. First Sly, now Brian. Musical geniuses who struggled so. Their gifts to us were legion and so generous. The funk and soul soundtrack to the highs and lows of the '60s and '70s, and the gorgeous teenage symphonies to God that filled innumerable hearts with joy and melancholy. Thank you.
