The most important documentary. Nine-plus hours. Lanzmann documented over a decade, survivors of the Holocaust... victims, perpetrators, natives, etc. The only MUST SEE I will ever state.

160 years ago today, Confederate president Jefferson Davis was captured in Georgia. With his arrest, the Confederate government ceased to exist.
Northern papers mocked him, and Southern elites blamed him.

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

Rodden did not respond to multiple requests for comment sent to his ICE email. A call to a number linked to him reached a man who hung up. When approached outside Dallas immigration court, Rodden said only to “call [his] press office.”

The right-wing, especially the furthest reaches, have been toxic to society since the beginning of time.
The movements ability continually cultivate support from the exact people who they intend to harm demonstrates the desire many people have to be subservient to wealth and power.
