Ryan Coogler’s ambitious “Sinners” is the director’s first entirely original film—a challenge that he had been afraid to confront. “I realized it’s now or never for this,” he told David Sims last year:

In a similar case several weeks ago, the **FELOTUS regime has already been temporarily restrained from withholding SNAP benefits. This case will be yet another losing effort on the Retribution Tour.
Once again, Trump is using hunger as a political weapon. In other contexts this would be called a war crime. In this context, you can just call it evil as all fuck.

Members of Congress have a clear, spelled out legal right under the existing DHS funding bill to be allowed into these facilities without this notice.
So if Congress is going to keep funding DHS, there must be meaningful restraints to rein in this brazen lawlessness.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.

Drug-testing labs typically report results in black and white: positive or negative.
But a little-known fact about the industry is that those results are often based on standards that are wholly discretionary.

The videos of ICE's actions at the high school today are so eerily reminiscent of the nazi brown shirts attacking crowds of people for the purpose of violent intimidation.
The resemblance is uncanny. And the terrifying part? People refusing to acknowledge it and claiming hysteria.

Taunting is not a justification for arbitrary executions. Collective guilt is contrary to the rule of the law. Resisting the state— even if unlawful and prosecutable—doesn’t justify a death sentence. Our colonial ancestors rejected that agents of the state are absolutely immune for their wrongdoing.
