How Hollywood Made Movie Violence Feel Easy
Hollywood didn’t just invent the movie violence fantasy; films like Inglourious Basterds, Scream, and Rambo show it perfected it.

If “accountability” is the promise, apply it across the board. Merrick Garland’s inaction at key moments warrants oversight. Protecting optics over rule of law is how institutions erode.
When Democrats are in the majority, there will be accountability.

Before Aunt Gladys Terrified in 'Weapons', Aunt Felice Terrorized in 'The Kiss'
We look back at 1988's The Kiss, a spiritual sister movie to 2025's horror mega-hit, Weapons, and its beloved villain, Aunt Gladys.

Incredible strength and courage from the people of Minnesota. Their resolve forced ICE to retreat. Unfortunately, @governorwalz.mn.gov did far too little beyond speeches. Leadership means action. How many ICE agents have been held accountable for terrorizing your own citizens?

There is nothing more pathetic than a racist.
Imagine thinking you’re special because of something you didn’t earn, didn’t choose, and never had to work for.
If your greatest accomplishment is your skin color, your life must be painfully empty.

Taking in another viewing of SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE and I have to say, Bruce's close friend asking if he wants a sandwich after suffering a severe mental breakdown, is the most New Jersey thing ever put on film.

If right-wing militias like Oath Keepers, 3%ers, & Proud Boys actually believed their own rhetoric, this would be their moment.
Let’s be honest:
Y'all weren’t about defending the Constitution, it was always just about grown-up losers playing G.I. Joe in your backyards & turning it into an identity.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Sure he’s linked to Epstein, the economy’s worse, America’s isolated, protections are gone, and people are dying, but he really hates the same people they hate, so...totally worth it. 🇺🇸🦅

Watching people cherry-pick which Epstein names deserve outrage tells you everything about their integrity.
Selective outrage is just loyalty in disguise.
Loyalty, to pedophiles.
As far as I'm concerned, there are no exemptions. No hall passes. Go after everyone implicated of harming children.

So, premeditated. Got it.
News Movement posted this video of Alex Pretti on Jan 13, showing him spitting at ICE agents and kicking their taillight.
Now conservatives are suggesting this changes things.
That would mean they are suggesting he deserved to be target of an extrajudicial execution.
The video changes nothing.
