A few readers have taken me to task for “missing the point of the film,” which is apparently that Elizabeth Holmes is unknowable and everything is ambiguous. Here’s my response: She went after Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung with everything she had. I was threatened with litigation on a daily basis for months on end. It was a ruthless cover-up of a breathtaking fraud, and she was at the controls. Just a little context for those who have forgotten or didn’t follow the original story. By the way, I loved the film. #BestPicture, IMO.
Liberal Americans have been conditioned to believe protest is polite, funny, respectful, performative, and above all else, nonviolent.
The most violent government in the world is not going to relinquish power due to a fucking message made of people on a beach.
Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que Bad Bunny ganó el SuperBowl.
I'm a big fan of Cormac McCarthy but probably the worst thing about his work is that the philosophical nuggets in his novels are often barely distinguishable from what are today the moronic pensées of Stephen Miller
This is not resistance. This is not "anti-ICE." This is not a protest. No, it isn't good because "at least they're doing something."
This is a fascist dance party outside of a concentration camp.
Liberals are enemies.
The problem with these no kings marches is that they have entirely subsumed actual radical causes like Gaza and ICE abolition and turned them into a march with exactly one call to action: to vote for the democrats, who are entirely supportive of ICE and the genocide in Gaza
Mahmoud Khalil was thrown in prison for 3 months for protesting Gaza and the day ABC pulled Kimmel off the air (for two eps!) a judge upheld Khalil’s deportation. Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped off the street and imprisoned for writing an op-ed on Gaza. I feel like I’m going insane
The biggest attack on Jews since the Holocaust was actually in Argentina in the 70s.
3000 Communist Jews killed by the regime.
Done with arms, funds, and full knowledge of Israel.
