Last fm Friday

Took two and a half days off work because of a cold and managed to watch 7 movies. Why can’t every day be like that.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

I wrote about Minneapolis. nymag.com/intelligence...

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

Last fm/last four Friday

ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds. Deporting children with cancer. Shooting moms. And now, using a 5 year-old as “bait” to detain his family. It’s far past clear: ICE must be abolished. Congress should not give it any additional funding. And the people responsible for its crimes should face charges.

This is insane. Insane that it's happening. Insane that these good folks need to do it in the first place. And insane that no one in power is helping them one iota.

WRITTEN ON THE WIND (Douglas Sirk, 1956)

Bought this before I had any way to play region b stuff and just kind of hoped it would work out somehow.

Gaming doesn’t count as screen time. Gaming is books. Unless it’s on your phone - that is screen time. Movies are books unless they are Marvel, who produce screen time. Television is screen time.

Shoutout to the regular who brought us a box of pastries and a stack of old Playboys, for some reason.

Mamdani proposed like, free buses and other actual things. Schumer opposes things that would actually benefit people. These are not the same message.

Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:

Starting at what now

Wearing this while reading de Sade on the bus

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Goodbye CP (1972; Kazuo Hara)

Ring cameras were a test run to see if Americans would be big enough suckers to volunteer themselves into a police state and they did without hesitation

Watched some Antiques Roadshow and some guy just brought in a Leonora Carrington painting. He was only vaguely aware of who that was.

Inside the detention center, Gibson said officers put him in a bare, metal holding cell about the size of a small conference room with around 40 other detainees. Their legs were shackled. Gibson said one person in the cell appeared to have scabies.

Corey Booker announcing his legislation to make ICE wear body cameras a week after the entire Republican Party excused an ICE officer murdering somebody by showing the video the officer took with his own cell phone of him murdering them is a testament to how stupid Democrats think all of us are.

I’ve probably seen Fight Club 3 or 4 times, for some reason.

Trade Deni, build around Caleb Love.

Beginning to realize I own a lot of books. A little over 400 and I’ve gotten to Henry James.

Yeah I’m sure nobody in the Reagan era would believe that.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES (Terrence Davies, 1988)

Buddy, I drove an hour to go see 500 Days of Summer.

They are canceling youth sports across the city in Minneapolis this weekend because lawless masked armed federal paramilitaries are targeting the children and families.

Cowardly of criterion to release the film as Forever A Woman and not The Eternal Breasts.

Finally

Your read of the day. So much out there about how ICE is marauding its way through Minneapolis but very little about grass roots resistance. Here I speak to a teacher on the front lines and he breaks down the *numbers* of people involved in resisting ICE. Chills. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

The implication of Dems focusing on affordability without addressing fascism is that there is an acceptable level of fascism if things are affordable.

i think gavin newsom fucking sucks and if you ever try to guilt me into voting for him i’ll scream

What if we kissed in front of the Jackie Chan Trail Blazers AAPI Month poster (???)

A small victory in the fight against evil

We’re definitely going to defeat fascism through buying AI t shirts.

Whenever something bad happens, the joke is that Schumer is going to send a strongly worded letter, but has he ever even done that?

They talked about Lav Diaz’s MAGELLAN on The View

according to tsui hark the villain of dragon inn (1967) was an overzealous dolly grip who died his own hair yellow and became a legend

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

You have to credit democrats for really thinking outside the box when it comes to doing nothing that would ever help anyone ever. You never could have seen an idea this bad coming.
