Turns my stomach to see cities with millennia of history flattened by United States and Israel, two of the fakest countries in the world.

A war with Iran will be a morally defining crisis of this era. Untold lives will be destroyed. Innocent lives. There won’t be peace and prosperity. There will be death and despair. And in years, many will look back and wonder why.

While he was here, Frederick Wiseman was the most curious man alive. He came to filmmaking late, at 36, and spent the next six decades making a body of work that allows us to move through the world in a new way. How beautiful is that.

rest in peace frederick wiseman. his is surely one of the most ethically, politically, historically important bodies of work produced in the last century, by any person in any field. he made his life into a gift for human memory. what a privilege to have shared a planet with him

I clipped this from Wiseman’s ‘Belfast, Maine’ to share with a friend. A high school teacher on Herman Melville. https://t.co/7WMbuIwVrU

Important to call this shit what it is: ICE is a paramilitary organization carrying out a state-sponsored campaign of ethnic cleansing. They’ve now killed two people and seem to be escalating every day. Just so we’re clear.

I am pleased to report that Brixton Leon has closed down. One gentrifying shop at a time! Long shall they continue to fall @ItsuOfficial you are next!!

Chinless worms living out juvenile fantasies of domination. Absolute dregs of society, fit for no useful purpose

[Benjamin Kunkel @kunktation]

No one who has served in ICE belongs in society and it’s going to be a problem for a long time
