Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED.
No. The American people do not want Trump's domestic army.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

It's definitely TRUE that the Academy never appropriately awards horror or sci-fi (or comedy, for that matter), BUT... SINNERS is not only/solely a vampire/horror film. It's so much more than that (a la GET OUT).
Blatantly calling out white supremacy as it does is also another negative against it.

I don't "want" to see it this way but... especially in the CONTEXT of historical precedent & RECORD- how can we not??
OBAA, imo, is also a great film. But SINNERS is the best film of 2025. AND, importantly (just watch what happens), THE film that we will be talking about the most & for the longest.

The Vice President of the U.S. just defamed Renee Good, calling her brainwashed; she was murdered I.C.E. yesterday.
We're a fascist nation, now. It's simply a fact.
It didn't have to be this way. But White America couldn't bring themselves to vote for the sitting VP, because she was a Black Woman.

History-- not "me"-- is gonna be extremely unkind to Trump, MAGA, and your way of thinking. As History ultimately always is for backwards, vile "movements" in America (like this one).

Trump said today:

If your toddler spoke to you like this, you'd be concerned.
Most powerful man in the world, ladies and gents. Still hard to believe, I know.
