Sometimes I think I could never be friends with somebody who didn’t like a movie I loved. Then I think, what the hell, it’s only a movie. Still, it’s hard for me to like somebody who hates MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER or THE EARRINGS OF MADAME DE... (1998)
Bravo Carlos, little titan, young wizard of Oz. A worthy champion, a huge talent, wonderful person and history-maker 🙌
And Australia, so much love 🫶🏼. No place like the happy slam. Forever grateful.
Cowardliness and vapidity of this nonanswer aside (peak One Bad Man Theory) it is beyond racist and depraved, 22 months into this genocide, to continue to center the feelings and needs of the country carrying out the genocide. Absolutely vile and dehumanizing to Palestinians
I'm all for protesting injustice, but if you think Trump is the only US president to act like a king, you need to pay more attention. Biden defied the will of his own voters, rigged the Dem primary, armed and funded a genocide, and crushed dissent and free speech.

Late last year, @Harpers sent me to the West Bank to report on the state of the nonviolent resistance movement. Nothing I had seen over more than a decade of reporting there prepared me for the levels of fear and devastation I encountered. https://t.co/HCa2b5Uiuu
It took me over a week to read in full the Commission of Inquiry report, "More Than a Human Can Bear", detailing Israel's systemic use of sexual/gender-based violence since October 2023; I often felt physically sick. Journalists should question Government Officials on its findings and ensure they’ve read it as they continue to engage with Israel/oPt 'business as usual': many of them risk complicity in int'l crimes.

As the world wakes up to the harrowing images of children slain by Israeli bombs across the entire Gaza Strip AGAIN, we cannot bear witness to global leaders JUST. DOING. NOTHING. This is an acceleration of the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people as a whole. We already failed to prevent it and our Governments have an even greater obligation to stop it now.
This is devastating testimony from one of the heroic medics in Gaza describing the scene last night as well as the dire lack of basic medical supplies to treat the wounded. "Mostly women and children burned head to toe..."
Loving movies is a very peculiar love-hate relationship. I mean, you love what they can be, but you also love the crap they are. I have my limits, though. (1994)
"For 45 days I was blindfolded and on my knees."
A Palestinian man from Gaza who was detained by Israeli forces explains his ordeal of being tortured under Israeli captivity.
Ibrahim Mohammad Khaleel al-Shaweesh, who was released in a very poor state of health, says Israeli forces used all forms of torture, including electricity and dogs.
He says that at one stage he was blindfolded, shackled and on his knees for 45 days.
This is my teacher, Ibrahim Al-Shawish, from my hometown, and one of my high school teachers. He was arrested by the Zionist occupation during the genocide and was released today. Take a look at his face after the ordeal!
I speak for both myself and him when I say: Fuck you, you will never break our will, and we will never forget, never forgive.
The US never cared about Ukraine. That was the pretext for US war policy. The goal was never to protect Ukrainians. It was to *sacrifice them at the altar of weakening Russia (which didn't work).
So who cares if Ukrainians don't want to fight? US/UK pundits need to feel strong.
