In my experience, a lot of Westerners want people in the rest of the world, women especially, to exist within a simple framework so that they can project their agendas unto us.

Satrapi was a human being and she was complex — and she wrote a book about human beings being complex.

“Cinema has shown an image of women from a male perspective that is completely fake.”

— Chantal Akerman in a 1976 interview, discussing her ground breaking film "Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels".

According to NYT Witkoff is one of the targets by the Israeli’s.
Does that mean they are spying on all his dealings/communications with the Kremlin?

Remembering the great Chantal Akerman on her birthday. One of the most revolutionary filmmakers of all time.

What is your favorite film from her? #filmtwt

What's amazing to me is that, 10 years apart, there are the exact same clouds in the exact same positions.

DC truly is a magical place

🚨 The Pentagon Just Raised Its Assessment Of An Israeli Espionage Threat Against The United States To Its Highest Level.

Let that sink in.

Israel is one of America’s “closest allies.”

Espionage warnings are usually associated with adversaries.

Not strategic partners receiving billions in U.S. support.

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months.

Yes, that's billion with a "B." https://t.co/zaF7Ky0aaI

And just like that, @foxnews’ fantasy candidate evaporates😂

Endless corruption: “A group of lawmakers demanded answers from the White House following a ProPublica investigation revealing a top aide to the president intervened to secure a $620 million Pentagon loan to a startup linked to his eldest son.” https://t.co/1fjkiQOcTj

This is the type of crisis that a Democratic president would be held personally responsible for by the media. Instead it’s getting virtually no national attention despite the issue being directly connected to federal cuts enacted by the Trump administration

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: New reporting reveals Republicans in Texas are panicking because Ken Paxton is rapidly losing support amongst must-win Latino voters who are pivoting to James Talarico’s side. This is amazing.

Say what you want, but Albania freezing Jared & Ivanka's project and opening a probe is exactly how governance should work👏

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Why did he construct an analogy in which he is on the side of the Nazis?

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

This may well be the last time Europe extends an invitation to clowns to mark D-Day. Not a single person in the Trump administration comes close to having the character those landings demanded. The Americans who stormed those beaches on June 6, 1944 were fighting against exactly the kind of people Hegseth represents

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

Why are Kegseth’s kids with him in Normandy wearing military fatigues….it’s not Halloween smh

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

The real reason all these MAGA influencers are mad that Spencer Pratt isn’t going to make the runoff is because they were being paid. It’s a massive astroturf campaign, and their meal ticket just disappeared.

After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever
