Also, Sarah Polley has had a hell of a run. "Away From Her," "Stories We Tell," "Women Talking." Banger after banger. I wasn't as big a fan of her "Take This Waltz," but I'm in the minority on that one.

Maybe recency bias, but "Nomadland" by Chloe Zhao was my favorite film of that year and certainly one of my favorites of recent years.

Democratic leaders want Gestapo with better optics, which THEY can use to crack our skulls if we get out of line. Just look at how they used police on protestors for Palestine. They HATE us.

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

Think of all the people who'd rejoice if you didn't make it. And do your best to never give them the satisfaction.

💯 And if you're willing to throw trans people under the bus for electoral expediency, you'll do the same to me and everyone else. You can't oppose fascism by sacrificing a threatened community. We're all in this together 🏳️⚧️
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

NYC has a rat problem? How about a rat *solution*? ATTACK!
I love that every city has added a new mischief to the anti-ICE work:
LA started the noise outside hotels
Portland started the inflatables
Chicago started the whistles
Minneapolis started not warning them about the weather lol
If ICE comes to your city it’s your duty to out-scamp the last 🫡

Cities fund America. Cities are engines of art and culture. This suggestion that we are somehow out of touch BECAUSE we live in cities is preposterous, but it's pervasive in politics and media.

Let's for a moment assume he's right, that theaters are only for city folk. Why is that a reason to diminish them? A lot of people live in cities! And our opinions matter. I wonder what would happen if city dwellers all cancelled Netflix to enjoy our "outmoded" Manhattan pastime? 🙄

The Democrats don't realize that they're the ONLY pressure release valve for a public that hates this shit. By refusing to oppose fascism, they're guaranteeing more violence. MLK's white moderate in action.
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.
Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.
Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

He's just a man who murdered a woman because he thought she was a bitch. It's not more complicated than that. It's why women choose the bear
The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car
“the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
