41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Feeling this about my adopted city, LA, and my home girl Chicago. They really are those baddies.
Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.

Teyona Taylor also stars and makes the film. Regina Hall is her character's ying (or yang). PTA has a mixed race wife and daughter and methinks this is one of a few love letters to the women in his life and our dear United States. The heroes that stay unseen before our very eyes.
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is that girl.
bumbling try-hard leo is my fave leo and chase infinity is a revelation and sean penn does his best work in decades and in the name of all that is holy GIVE BENICIO AND PTA THEIR OSCARS FOR GOD'S SAKE

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
That’s not making America great again.

If someone wanted to debate about whether adults should be able to have sex with children, you wouldn’t consider it. But someone wants to debate whether black people have the capacity to fly planes or be on the Supreme Court or vote and that’s “politics the right way”?

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend.
His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.”
He might never walk again. For showing up.
This is brutality. This is America.
