A wonderful and quietly provocative film too many have never heard of. A “period piece that truly transcends time.
THE ENCHANTED COTTAGE (1924) tells the story of a wounded war veteran and an "old maid" who find love and healing inside a cottage full of the echoes of past honeymooning couples. The dark subject matter and whimsical mysticism create something very special.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
