I want so badly to make everyone understand that things like this really can and do happen, but every time I try to talk about organizing to rich liberals I can tell they think I'm lying. It's the only thing that works.
Once, at a meeting with tenant organizers in the center of white American poverty in Appalachia, a young white guy showed up to a meeting with his Stars and Bars tattoo on display. The poor white rural women and working-class Black women who run those meetings took this guy to task. They told him (colorfully) to get himself together. And the next week they all protested their landlord together. Their coalition-building wasn’t the kind of kumbaya that Platner apologists are talking about, where a room full of people were expected to swallow their outrage to preserve one man’s feelings. There was accountability. There was education. And there was meaningful action. There was not a college degree or a political donor among them, and yet, somehow, actual poor people figured out how to handle racist iconography without scapegoating minorities or making excuses for a white man’s mistakes.

Rewatched 3 Women today (after thinking it was eh, fine a few years ago) and it totally blew me away. Maybe my favorite Duvall performance, period

i rewatched Michael Clayton today and I thought it was fucking exquisite. I cannot stop thinking about Michael Clayton
Michael Clayton looking at a horse while his car explodes behind him Tom Wilkinson in Times Square. Green is a very prominent color in the shot Tilda! She is in a bathroom, looking incredibly agonized, almost weirdly rapturously so a la Falconetti Michael Clayton in the cab at the end of the movie
