A meaningful powerful speech a most needed speech.
congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.
The Most Relevant Movie in Theaters Is Poised to Make Oscar History. It Would Be a Shameful First.
It swept the critics’ awards and seems like an Oscars lock, yet it still doesn’t have a distributor.

Meet Trump's new best friend, Vladimir Putin.
At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption & violence.
In Putin's Russia, there is no freedom of speech. Protests are violently suppressed. Dissidents are murdered. And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.

It is dire that many people running the government do not know the basics of the law, or pretend not to.
It is not a crime to remind people of their rights—which unlawful immigrants are also entitled to under the Constitution. The truth matters, no matter how politically inconvenient.
