Solidarity is the only way

Finally watched "Flow" – a beautiful film. One small hiccup for me. The animals are not established as anthropomorphized. When they start steering the boat – took me out of the movie a bit. A small nit, in a story that weaves bonds and trust throughout its many characters. #film #filmsky #movies

With the smooth voiceover of actor Damian Lewis, director Raoul Peck delivers an essay-style doc through Orwell's life and work, as it relates to, and mimics, past and present authoritarianism. Dense, dystopian, and terrifyingly familiar. 👍 #film #filmsky #documentary

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Isaac Stanley-Becker traveled to Portland and spent time at the demonstration that Donald Trump wants to crush. What he found is an atmosphere that is more like a carnival than combat:

Fun, colorful Trader Joe's totes for #Halloween!

Each new school year brings a fresh wave of attempts to censor school libraries, often built on misleading claims. The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom investigates a site spreading disinformation. Read: https://www.oif.ala.org/take-back-the-right-to-read/ #BannedBooksWeek

When do we bring out the straightjacket for the felon?

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

Enjoyed Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest," especially the music. Had to laugh when I heard the first beats of the American Joint of Prisencholin over the end credits. Prisencolinensinainciuso | 1973 original www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU-w... #film #filmsky #movie #music

Fifty years ago, on Sept. 26, 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show flopped at the U.S. box office — then became the longest-running theatrical release in history.

Looking forward to the day when Kash Patel's words come back to bite him: Via NYT: “Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account - no matter their perch.”

Pam Blondi: careful, what goes around comes around. Via NYT on Comey: "No one is above the law. Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”

What kind of idiots would shake up a massive organization like Social Security – an org that so many people depend on to exist – without a clear plan in place? Sounds like they're winging it, to the detriment of the elderly and the disabled. #felonfail #47fail

Fun watch – Thunderbolts*, one of Marvel's better offerings in the Avengers line. Offbeat casting and dry humor from David Harbour were highlights. #film #movies #filmsky

Beautiful image for today instead of insane news.

Devotion explained, from writer Paisley Rekdal, in today's NYT. "…abdication of knowledge and agency…" So true, especially for the last 10 years.

The felon continues to help the rich get richer: Shutting down oversight efforts on tax shelters for multi-national companies and the uber rich. They're winning. The rest of us – not so much. #grifter47 #allabouttherich

Seems like the felon and Epstein had a lot of history together. That looks like the felon's chicken-scratch sig. #Epsteinfiles

Racism wins with this Supreme Court...again.

WTAF is brainworm and his insane team doing with vaccines for those eligible (as of a few weeks ago)?

NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.

Another heartbreaking, tragic shooting. Two little ones gone on their 1st day back to school, w/many other kids, adults wounded. 💔 Let's keep selling those guns to every nut w/no background checks + allow open carry in more states. GOP, blood on your hands=Individual rights only when convenient.

That indicting a ham sandwich thing… not this time.
