Elon Musk personally blocked high speed rail in California by telling officials his hyperloop would be superior. He of course never built it because it was made up. He’s admitted to this
remember when rafiki was banned for its "clear intent to promote lesbianism contrary to the law" and the filmmaker sued the govt to get the ban lifted for a week and it went on to become the second-highest grossing kenyan film ever? the ban has been overturned after 8 years!!
The film “Morocco”, released in 1930, four years before the code, featured a lesbian kiss and earned four Oscar nominations.
Don’t believe this revisionism. The Code set back American cinema by decades.
I wrote about a woman in South Carolina arrested for pregnancy loss.
The “official” charge was desecration of a corpse, because she put the fetal remains in the garbage.
I was accused of scaring women away from getting care for miscarriages
It’s abortion bans doing that 🧵
I love when people try to escape it by going “he’s a naturalized foundling or was born in a pod” like Ma and Pa Kent didn’t break mountains of laws in fabricating and lying where and how they got him and every single paper needed to adopt or identify him.
When I talk about Hollywood interjecting more white centered conservative politics into their films, this is what I'm talking about: Nani denigrating Hawai'ian beliefs and turning Lilo over to the gov't so she can study outside of Hawai'i is colonial anti-indigenous messaging.
