A few years ago, in what may have been my last enjoyable interaction on Twitter, I asked for movie recommendations. And yall brought the HEAT.
Let's do it here!
What are some all-time movies that haven't won big awards and aren't super well known that I need to watch?

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

It's hard to imagine more than even a small handful of current political leaders who will matter or have any influence whatsoever in ~10 years when whatever comes after all this begins. These people are almost universally worthless, stand for nothing, and cannot build a new future.

Ken got a list of "Major USBP-Supported Operations," some of which we already new about and were widely announced by DHS ("Operation At Large" and "Operation Tidal Wave" to name two), others which are new to me.
What is a lot more interesting to me is the very small number of apprehensions.

The Trump admin has publicly claimed that Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua is a unified terrorist group, one tied to Nicolás Maduro and a security threat to the United States.
Hundreds of internal government records obtained by @wired.com tell a far less certain story:

It's impossible to comply with these goons, they tell her to go, she starts to go....and then the guy runs up and smashes the window and they all surround her and drag her out. Criminals doing carjackings are more organized than this
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
