This is such a bizarre city-folk conception of country-folk. If you live in the country, you drive to the next town for *everything*. It’s only if you live in the city that that sounds extravagant.

I had to turn down a free screening because someone I spoke with via email said the English parts weren't captioned :(

I'd like to still see it somehow, somewhere, sometime in the New York area. Let me know.
Does anyone know about THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB? And whether there are any showings with English captioning (or subtitles) for *all* dialogue, including English dialogue, of *all* languages included?

Asking as a deaf person who would love to watch. #accessibility

Just hours after Renee Good was shot, one member of Customs and Border Patrol’s elite tactical team on an adjacent street fired a less-lethal weapon five times in less than five minutes, with four shots aimed at the faces of protestors. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

It's truly stunning (though unsurprising) how little attention national media give Gov. Walz's speeches and news conferences. He's out there declaring his state under siege, and it's not in headlines outside of MN. They'll cover Trump's lies about him endlessly-- but not his actions.

"The Minnesota Star Tribune is at the scene."

It's also 14 degrees Fahrenheit in Minneapolis now.
