Amazing that Diane Keaton could make two such diametrically opposed films as 'Looking for Mr Goodbar' and 'Annie Hall' within months of each other

Everyone should be using the word evil.

This is evil-shit.

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

I hear Sen Mike Lee is butthurt about this depiction of his slavish devotion to a dictator because he so wants a seat on SCOTUS that he’s willing to sell us all out to a wannabe dictator and he hates people pointing that out

Geez. Should be illegal

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

So great to see The Vanishing in here - a film so traumatic that I believe anyone who saw it when it first came out is still suffering a form of movie PTSD, a quarter of a century on. If you see someone looking frantically for someone in a service station, you know what they’re thinking.
