This purchase would be catastrophic for film and the culture. Sadly, I can see fash billionaires wanting to buy the studio responsible for SINNERS and ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER so they can break it.

former israeli diplomatic corps member and current communications director for the american fundraising arm of israel's ben gurion university tali goldsheft mobilizing a protest outside of the most mainstream synagogue there is in brooklyn for hosting a conversation with zohran mamdani

Do Zionists still think protesting outside a synagogue is antisemitic?

Screenshot from Tali Goldscheft:

PROTEST today at 1 pm!!! 📢📢📢

At the same time as hostages are hopefully being finally released, Zohran Mamdani is speaking at CBE (Congregation Beth Elohim) in Park Slope.

Beyond outrageous.

A major protest by the Brooklyn Jewish community, including CBE congregants and former congregants, will be taking place.

IN BROOKLYN? Join us, rain or shine!!!

That’s quite a telling statement, Stephen Miller. I guess you’re calling all the shots now?

Tweet from Sky Marchini: “‘I’.”
Below is Acyn’s tweet quoting Stephen Miller on CNN: “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice, sleepy southern town, is anyone going to riot?”
Screenshot shows Miller speaking on the right and the interviewer on the left, with the headline: “Illinois & Chicago sue Trump over Natl Guard deployment.”

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries recording music on SoundCloud to being one of the most streamed artists in the world. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Latinos that Republicans say should make them natural conservatives. Instead they are crashing out on him.

Uh, slavers famously *censored* the Christian Bible, ripping out all the parts about justice and liberation, to prevent the slaves from getting any ideas about their own humanity.

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

James Woods
@RealJamesWoods
For those who actually respect history, the origin story of Antifa is well documented. Antifa is an organization that emerged with the “German Communist Antifaschistische Aktion” movement in the 1930’s.
German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,” a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like today’s leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Today’s Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake “mass protests” and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these “useful idiots” of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.

It’s perfect that this episode aired three weeks before Toy Story. Got in at right the last minute before Tron was no longer the cultural reference point for computer animation

They gave 20b to Argentina while your farm went bankrupt is, uh, not a hard line to land.

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 22h

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

Too bad it only benefits one American: a billionaire hedge fund manager, who has placed large bets on the future of the Argentine economy.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire

A $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

If HBO Max aired Tilda on a double bill with The Miraculous Year, their 2010 pilot about a Sondheim-like Broadway composer, with Kathryn Bigelow directing Norbert Leo Butz, Frank Langella, Hope Davis, and Patti LuPone, it would be the most 🏳️‍🌈 event of the TV year.

By the way: Isn't it time somebody released (or leaked) Tilda, the HBO pilot that starred Diane Keaton as a Nikki Finke-like gossip columnist? Also with, I believe, Elliot Page, Wes Bentley, Jason Patric, Sanaa Lathan. 2011, many cooks inc. Bill Condon, at least two versions.
