Seeing the Black & Red flag with the Snake Flag is horribly out of touch, No Anarchist would associate out with Neo Feudalist "An"Cap Corpo Fascists, Liberals aren't gonna save us, don't count on Them for anything but betrayal.
When the message resonates with everyone, and good people stand up to lead, people will follow. #WorkingClass #Florida #RemoveTheRegime

This is…brilliant.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Let's talk about my favorite 'remake', The Thing (1982).
Haunting, horrifying, powerful. From cult classic to true modern classic, one of the scariest movies ever made.
Then there is The Thing from Another World (1951), which more closely follows the story 'Who Goes There?'
Who's seen them either?

1912-1919= Early Feature Era

Reposting my point-by-point debunking because Griffith apologists are on Bluesky too
DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened.
So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon.

More Black women are evicted every year than Black men are incarcerated. For profit prisons are one of the leading funders of lobbying against tenants' rights ordinances and for strict no-fault eviction laws. The reason is simple: eviction feeds the carceral state.

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

In the past decade, billionaires have been more empowered than ever before to spend money to influence American elections.
