Age verification? I saw Disney movies with Dean Jones and Buddy Hackett during their first screen run.

Rep. Raskin: “You ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped, abused, and trafficked. This performance screams cover-up.”

Location: Indianapolis, IN

Law enforcement officers will pull you out of your car and threaten to kill you.

“I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU, UNDERSTAND ME” is what they said to a group of teenagers.

Why? Because they went to an anti-ICE protest 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU, UNDERSTAND ME?"

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Learned some history. Met some fascinating characters. Leaned into the weird while remaining very human.
“A winsome tale of wondrous misfits and unlikely kinships, The Legend of Charlie Fish channels all the wit and melancholy of the great Charles Portis. Part adventure story, part lament, the whole is a triumph of voice and heart.”
