"This is killing for sport, it's killing for theater and it's utterly lawless. We need a court of law to rein in this administration and provide some accountability to the families."

Families of killed men file first U.S. federal lawsuit over drug boat strikes
The case filed in Massachusetts is the first lawsuit over the strikes to land in a U.S. federal court since the Trump administration launched a campaign to target vessels off the coast of Venezuela.

Bad Bunny said it right — we won't let ICE's depravity strip us of our humanity.

Our communities, neighbors, and loved ones are worth fighting for.

Elaine Stritch was BOTD in 1925 & died in 2014 at 89. Love her in Woody Allen's "September" (1987), which he re-wrote, re-cast & re-shot! She's notably cray in Lipton's "Kiss Her Goodbye" (1959, Sharon Farrell's screen debut) & Cates' "Who Killed Teddy Bear?" (1965) w/ Sal Mineo

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.

This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

I know both Rifftrax and MST3K have been going concerns for a while now, but as someone whose road to film-criticdom began by tuning into the beginning of the SciFi Channel run in sixth grade… this means a lot.

Loved seeing Homecoming: The Tokyo Series at the world premiere thanks to the @amcinematheque.bsky.social. How do you not give a rave review to a film when it is introduced by @stephennelson.bsky.social and Dodger legend Miguel Rojas? The film captured how special the series felt. Highly recommend.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:

“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

He’s closing the Kennedy Center rather than face humiliation.
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."
