#OtD 15 Oct 1940 Charlie Chaplin's first talkie The Great Dictator debuted in New York (while the US was still formally at peace with Nazi Germany). The antifascist film ends with this impassioned speech to the audience opposing all forms of oppression stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8730...

Fucking BBC reporter reading the headline "the SNP deputy leader says they want MORE immigration??!" as if they've said they want to move Scotland to the moon rather than reiterated their long-time stance on immigration

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Police would like to speak to a Señor Dalí who was seen in the vicinity.

Remember when opponents of the right to die legislation said it would lead to people being encouraged to die to relieve the burden on the state, and were told that this was alarmism?

Yeah.
