Damn shame

Despite some issues I have with the disparity between both how black women are portrayed in the movie and how little the black actresses are mentioned in praise for the movie, it really is a good ass movie.

See it before DHS puts out another blindingly racist tweet.

One Battle After Another is tipped to lose $100 million; between that and the admin's pressure on Hollywood, I'm guessing we're not getting any more big-budget explicitly-lefty movies for awhile variety.com/2025/film/bo...

‘One Battle After Another’ Projected to Lose $100 Million Theatrically as ‘Smashing Machine’ and Others Also Struggle Due to Oversized Budgets

It’s important in all this to remember: official press conferences are a minuscule part of the job and exist to present one side and control questioning.

Much reporting, often the best reporting, happens without ever having to flash a press pass

Soliciting information from officials is a journalist's job.

The Pentagon's new press policy would make reporters "stenographers parroting press releases, not watchdogs holding government officials accountable," explains @npr.org's Tom Bowman.

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

Update— DHS Asst. Secretary Tricia McLaughlin just doxed the 13-year-old who was taken by ICE, sharing a copy of a police report on X with his full name and photo visible.

She’s trying to prove the disputed claim that he had a gun. I’ve reached out to the city. I will not be sharing the post here.

A few of my thoughts:

www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-13-yea...

There is a natural inclination, especially among Americans steeped in our culture of mass incarceration, to judge the propriety of a person’s punishment not based on what they’ve done, but on how deserving one believes they are of receiving justice. On its face, any 13-year-old kid that allegedly made threats and was found to be in possession of a knife should be afforded the rights of due process in the juvenile court system. But because this boy was born in another country, because he and his family were asylum-seekers (authorized to work legally in the US) and not American citizens, and regardless of any piece of his personal story or history that led him to this point, some believe he is not owed those same rights. This boy—this child— deserves to rot in a federal facility, they say, and to be dragged across state lines away from his home. And for some, his mere existence in this country is crime enough.
But it’s important to bust these myths. It’s crucial to remember, as so many speakers at the Everett City Council meeting reminded us, that all of our safety is intertwined. DHS and its many agencies are trying to turn neighbors against one another. But our neighbors are not our enemies—in fact, they are the ones most likely to protect us.
