One of my favorite movies of all time!

David Klion @davidklion.bsky.social · 2h

Obviously the Godfathers, obviously Annie Hall and her other stuff with him (with all the caveats, which I’ve written all about). But this is a personal favorite: Diane, Jack, the Elaine May dialogue, the perennial intraleft tensions perfectly captured: youtu.be/JXP5LQx4slc?...

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOUR MEDICAL EMERGENCY IS DUE TO DRUG ADDICTION. IT'S A MEDICAL EMERGENCY YOU FUCKING GHOULS.

This is part and parcel of what's keeping us from having universal health care: they really believe that some ppl deserve medical care and some don't.
