‘About Elly’: Solid, a bit overwrought drama from Farhadi Rewatch of Polanski’s ‘Macbeth’: very good version, super-creepy atmos Rewatch of Kieslowski’s ‘Dekalog’: essential cinema Majidi’s ‘The Colour of Paradise’: moral story with a lot of heart #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

They act like hard stuff can’t be done. What do you think $1 trillion a year for the Pentagon and $200 billion for ICE could do for Americans? They are stealing our money.

Bloomberg reports that officials directly involved in an internal Pentagon investigation found that Peter Thiel’s Palantir Maven Smart System played a significant role in the February 28 U.S. strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran.

I love how the corporate media feels it’s their role to adopt the GOP talking points and narratives rather than just ask questions that might inform the public about the candidate. #CBS

One legacy of 9/11 we don’t talk much about is DHS, which was birthed because the FBI and CIA could have prevented the attack but just didn’t talk to each other, so they created a whole new agency that is now heavily armed, surveilling American citizens and filling up for-profit prisons. #9/11

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

A message to Democratic leaders: Stop attacking your own candidates. It helps absolutely no one but Trump if you keep undermining progressive candidates. It’s precisely why you have consistently lost elections for 30 years or won by razor-thin margins. Signed, lifelong Dems who are sick of losing.
