The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Um, warning if you’re in public and don’t want to be a sobbing mess but otherwise this is such a beautiful must read thread.

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

The last 10 years of American politics have really played havoc with what the stakes can be in action and espionage shows. Like, exposure of misdeeds or corruption? That’s below the fold in the Times every day now.

OTD in 1979, THE MUPPET MOVIE opened in theaters across the United States. Jim Henson noted (with typical understatement) that its reception was "Great!" and it was one of the most profitable films of the decade. But getting the Muppets to the big screen in the first place was hard work.

Santa Ana: I saw this movie in the theater when it was first released. It's a great documentary filled with startling insights. It is also a movie that is best viewed with an audience.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

This Day in Labor History: February 6, 1919. The Seattle General Strike began. Let's talk about this much mentioned but little understood event. Let's also talk about general strikes a bit, which are very misunderstood, even by activists, and why we don't have them today in their classic form.

I mean, if the idea is "it was headed in the right direction and then the guy in charge inexplicably pointed everything at a giant piece of ice in the North Atlantic, with calamitous results", then yes.

Just within the past hour, nearly a dozen YouTube accounts have posted the pulled 60 Minutes CECOT story. CBS and Google can keep trying to take them all down, but it's sort of pointless now.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?
I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

TIL that the same David Ward who wrote the Sting also wrote and directed Major League. I do love a wide and varied Hollywood career. Made me think about other careers with range. George Miller: Mad Max AND Happy Feet. Bob Clark: Black Christmas AND A Christmas Story. Other examples?

So excited for the Altman HOF and the collection you’re curating on Criterion Channel. Never seen Quintet or A Perfect Couple, Jimmy Dean… plus will be nice to revisit the rest.
