Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know:
It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

Great interview. It's amazing to hear John Oliver speak in his real voice as opposed to his comedy persona. As with Trevor.

I will never forget seeing a review of MAGNETO TESTAMENT in which someone mused that the story should have included more about the experiences of the Nazis.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

they did, in fact, take decisive action. in the midst of these hearings congress passed the third enforcement act, called the Ku Klux Klan Act. the grant administration used that authority to virtually eliminate the klan, which did not resurface for another 50 years.
Luckily they took decisive action and the Klan was never a problem after that.

Boosting this again, hoping to get people into theaters to see a movie that will eventually be considered a classic, just so they will be able to brag, "oh yeah, good flick. II saw it when it first came out."
Please see Gus van Sant's Dead Man's Wire, a hostage film & social tapestry that is "unabashedly inspired by the best crime dramas from the 1970s, including Dog Day Afternoon,The Sugarland Express, Network and Badlands, and can stand proudly alongside any of them." www.rogerebert.com/reviews/dead...
Dead Man's Wire review: Gus Van Sant tackles true-crime intrigue
A thoughtful, bleakly funny 1970s drama that speaks to the current moment, and is equal to the many classics that inspired it.
