I have a very good-natured Christian friend in Minneapolis who's never made a political statement in the 20 years I've known her, who's now posting contact info for senators & demanding accountability for the ICE murders.
So good job maga. You radicalized the quietest person I've ever known.

I know nostalgia for Blockbuster is a thing. I don’t really remember it that way. I remember it having fewer movies than the stores I went to as a kid. But I worked at Blockbuster when I was 17.
Here are some things that happened while I was there.
