I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.
I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.
I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Here is part 1 of The Flattening. It’s just as remarkable as the second.
“We have confused documentation with action, expression with engagement, sharing with caring. The platform has trained us to believe that bearing witness means broadcasting, that solidarity means going viral, that justice means getting likes.”
