“The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow.”
I believe the movie had 18 million budget and needs 45 million to break even. according to the numbers it's currently sitting at 16M (14M domestically + 2M internationally). keep spreading the word. don't wait for it to reach streaming platforms. demand in theaters is important.
This what people don’t understand.
Everyone is praising the wit, the humor, his cleverness. But deep down he’s still a human and a man that was deeply violated and racially targeted. Kudos to his resilience and strength, but no one should have to experience this.
To honor the departure of a hero of mine,
I will not be observing Christmas this year.
Please respect my privacy during this difficult time.

Reminder that the civil rights movement was not just random people who had enough one day. They were carefully and militantly trained political activists who deployed strategic forces to end Jim Crow segregation. Never forget them.
Keith Porter’s murder wasn’t captured on camera, so it’s allowing ICE to sweep it under the rug, but we need to keep talking about him just as much as we talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. None of us are safe from this campaign of state violence.
I actually dont care if he saved puppies from a burning house while curing cancer in a steel mill.
You do NOT have to be a “good person” for it to still be WRONG for the police to kill unarmed people. I’m NOT going to play into that
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
