I'm enjoying taking some time off from watching a film a day, but I think I might do something similar to this with Harun Farocki in February. Everything I've seen by him has been amazing and, like Obomsawin, he's got shorts, so it feels doable.

The Democrats are cowards, structurally cowards, since their legitimacy as a ruling class party is anchored in their commitment to reproducing us imperialism. I get this, yet it continues to be disappointing to see the result of their spineless politics

Some people are responding to criticisms of this as if people were saying “impeachment is obviously the right strategy.” No. The point is that “impeachment isn’t the right strategy because the GOP may start to be responsible” is an unfathomably stupid and insulting lie.

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time. It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

This collab is the product of many hours of work, planning, and solidarity on the part of participants, and this is the culmination of an *initial* phase.
