Kurosawa was truly groundbreaking, a filmmaker and artist with vision, depth, and dedication.
His films stand as some of the greatest achievements in Japanese cinema, and most of them are so beautiful to watch, it's gard to catch all the subtitles 🤭

People who think Kurosawa is “homework cinema” need to be slapped around a bit.
so cool that when Kurosawa made Seven Samurai, he was like, "What if a movie absolutely ripped for three-and-a-half hours straight?"

The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen.
The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment.

He needs to be impeached too. Every one of the venal bastards and bitches in the current "administration" could and should be investigated, impeached and ejected from "public service" (though in their case, it's just corrupt self-service).

Agreed, mostly. The problem is that MAGA is a complex organism that periodically reinforces its own fury and fear by engaging other its other parts (people).
Also (I think), their underlying fear is that we're actually right about the climate change, meaning that big changes are coming, scary!

Are you, too, wondering why is MAGA still so mad?
Consider this:
"Extinction burst" in society is an analytical concept derived from behavioral psychology. It describes the intense, temporary surge of a specific attitude or behavior right before it fades away due to a lack of reinforcement.

Nothing ever trickles down.
From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.
The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.

An extraordinary thread about the Somali-American fraud in Minnesota: how it started and when, who was involved, etc.
The Republikkkans have hacked and stolen the storyline and recreated the whole thing so it reflects poorly on ALL dems, not just the few who ignored the problem.

I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example.
Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)

We need to support expansion of voting rights, via basic rules for EVERY STATE, so that they can't so easily disenfranchise huge swaths of the population.
White KKKristian nationalists are trying to take voting away from WOMEN again. And with the current Extreme Court, they'll have backing. ERA!

Lorelei Cloud was born 3 years before Native Americans living on tribal lands in Colorado were guaranteed the right to vote. She is now vice chair of the Southern Ute Tribe. “I don’t want future generations to have to deal with any of what we’ve had to.”
On Native Land, a New Push to Expand Voting Meets the Long Tail of State Violence
Ongoing negotiations between tribal leaders and Colorado officials may chart a new path for automatically registering Native voters and growing voter rolls nationwide. But first the state is having to confront a legacy of mistrust.

I know I've said it a million times now but between Mamdani and Schumer, the median Democratic voter is far closer to the former than the latter on Palestine today. The pro-Israel bloc makes a mistake, on a fundamental level, by raising the salience of the issue.
