#FatherMotherSisterBrother µreview: The best parents are the dead ones? Maybe too harsh. Great proof-of-life turn from Tom Waits. Sketchy, unpleasant, dim but nice in the USA*. English liars for tea in Dublin. Earnest twins who sadly do not inherit that fabulous apartment in Paris. Pretty & amusing.

this is not any kind of review of FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER but I was once again distracted by the AMAZING apartment in Montreal. it was all just, look, see, stupid USA people, this is how you do it. single stair buildings, shutters, balconies, hardwood, OK we'll just pass over the bathroom

Also! If you haven't been reading the series, this is a great spot to jump on. Functionally a one-shot before we get into the next story arc.

The rise of Trump has given them permission to be what they always wanted to be and to behave how they always wanted to behave. His entire sales pitch is: you don’t have to pretend any more, you can just say “I’m glad the cops, who represent me, are beating and killing people I hate”.

#TheDutchman µreview: Man, how red does a flag have to be? I'd go with "I was ensorcelled!" too. V theatrical. Good performances. Some uncomfortable moments. I'm no deep thinker so I'll assume the ultimate point is over my head (vs not existing).

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

#WeBuryTheDead µreview: Plays w the expectations of a horror movie but really more of a ghost story. The assumption of time. Well done. When Mark Coles Smith first appears, I was like Oh come on now. But they didn't take the character down that rut, he brought it off.

This is a random aside from all the other notes going around, but just to say this for clarity:
Renee's son has a surviving mother who was also in the car, and happens to have an uninvolved paternal grandfather who told a news outlet today that he's "coming to get his grandchild". Don't let him.

Anyone who has read Copaganda knows that we are in the crucial early moments of virality after an extra-judicial police murder. It's extremely important for ICE that the media plays along with the idea that what happened is contested and there are multiple perspectives.

🚨NEW: Federal officers like ICE agents have been routinely prosecuted by states for violating state laws, up to and including murder, since the 1800s.
Minnesota has every ability to do this with today's killing of a motorist by an ICE agent.

As a killing in Minneapolis is documented, the law clearly stipulates that federal agents do not have universal immunity.

One of the only things more pathetic than the Democratic response to [insert latest madness] are the people who get SO MAD if you criticize that response. How dare you besmirch the honor of our Dear Leaders, sirrah?!? Focus on the real enemy! Royalism is a powerful drug.

the entire US development ecosystem is broken.
building codes. zoning codes. elevator costs. inferior products for higher prices v. peer countries. lending/financing. incentives.

gee Seth, do you think that might tell you something about every other briefing you've ever been given by these clowns?
Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
