James Baldwin would repeatedly tell us:

‘You’ve Got To Excavate The Truth.’
I can hear his voice saying that, now.

ps to link posted for you to key SLAPP bg when you listen to her special 10-part pod (the lacing thruout). UNESCO findings. Also note A.B. in 2019 did not sue The Observer, did not sue TED talks, sued only investigative journalist CC, as an individual. Imagine why.

Still appears in the pod series.

Apolz for being unclear; in haste, wrote too much, deleted portions quickly. Meant to note: in the pod, audio of Farage in 2016 campaigning for Trump in Mississippi; also, when listening, observe the lacing throughout the reporting, of requisite liability-protections, with this in mind:

I cherish her in all her myriad incarnations, watch & rewatch an array of her films all the time; Reds has always held a special place in my heart, since 1st view in the theater upon initial release, and each subsequent viewing. So many haven’t seen it.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.
