I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

high profits without a labor force is just shuffling money away from the working class to people in ivory towers. we’re in a class war and have been for a long time.
The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing.

I still have this doc taped off of TV in 1995 on two VHS tapes, complete with commercials for things like APOLLO 13 on home video for $19.95! They’ll take those VHS tapes from my cold, dead hands.
Jesus Christ, the "remastered" Beatles Anthology documentary they re-released is filled with AI slop. Look at John and Paul's faces, and the "T" on Beatles.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

apparently it's fascist now to point out colonial gaze in art
(this is in response to a review (boxd.it/9V7Fnf) I linked to on my review of Sirāt (boxd.it/bSCXSL) that does a deep dive on the colonial gaze of the film).
