Tonight's THE LAST DRIVE IN is "Battle of the Black Gloves" - two seminal works of Giallo that played a part in launching the slasher craze in the 70s. Without them there is no Friday, no Chain Saw, no Scream. If you've never seen them, Last Drive In is a great way to do it. Live on Shudder 9PM EST.

Well, that was a hell of a weekend. Much love to every single one of you who saw it, posted about it, told your friends about it, texted someone to go see it, took your kids or a date - whatever. You know who you are, you know what you did, and Scott and I love you for it.

THANK YOU.

In America’s first public park, where Bostonians came together 400 years ago to protect a common space for the common good, we told the Trump Administration that when it comes to freedom and our families, Boston doesn’t back down. #NoKings

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

The UN said on Sunday that “real progress” was being made in delivering aid to Gaza as the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas paved the way for humanitarian agencies to scale up their operations in the territory.
‘Real Progress’ Is Made in Delivering Aid to Gaza, U.N. Says
The cease-fire agreement reached last week contained stipulations for an increase of aid into the territory, where it had been sharply curtailed.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

These dark times are on track to get darker. Do what you can to be a source of light.
This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

This is America now. I’m sick and sad. Keep standing up, speaking out, and being there.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.
