So guess I should talk more about #filmincolorado since that's kinda my thing. If you haven't been paying attention we are a really lovely growing community doing film in new and more ethical ways. Sure we got Sundance but we also have 100 plus other film festivals. We are building something here.

Duterte is gone, but the Philippines’ drug-war killings continue. Monitors have counted 1,291 under Marcos Jr., 462 by state agents. Duterte now faces an ICC trial on Nov. 30 for three counts of murder as a crime against humanity.

My favorite things about First Blood (Rambo) was that my friend's boomer dad showed us it when we were probably slightly too young and was like "hell ya, 'merica". And both my friend and I were like "I think think this is more fuck American and fuck cops and it's kinda rad"

No clue what the actual discourse is there but: Hell ya Rocky Horror is "woke"... And "cringe" and offensive and bad and great and messy and perfect. Y'all need to experience art sometime, not commercially engineered entertainment vehicles.

THREAD. Contrary to what you are being told, 40 years of polling have established that shifting money away from police/prisons toward social services is one of the most popular public policies among *all* political demographics. But it's not just that, it goes way deeper.

Any time I see media with very talented unknowns all I think is: wow we are really failing so many incredible creatives as a society. There are countless talents out there that go unrealized because we treat most humans as nothing more than basic input/output machines.

Odyssey Spoilers‼️ Nolan's Odyssey is layered in anti-fascist messaging. His instance of confronting the phallacy of glory of war. But interestingly, it holds a somewhat conservative philosophy. There was something broken in humanity and we long for it to come back.

Yes Trump is testing the waters with his "fourth term" joke. No it's not an "announcement" but the press and public acting like it's a serious prospect is exactly what he wants. Call him what he is an old man disconnected from reality. We will *never* let him run again.

Campaign finance reform is deeply needed in this country but until that time, remember that the thing corporations are trying so desperately to buy is *your vote*. That's how valuable your vote is. You voting and convincing your friends to vote can counter dark money.

Statement on Supreme Court Transgender Ban in High School Sports 

Sports have always been a place where young people learn resilience and find community. No child should be told that who they are disqualifies them from that experience. Despite today’s Supreme Court ruling, Minnesota Aurora will continue to support transgender youth and the schools and coaches who want every kid to thrive. 
Every young person deserves a fair shot to play, belong, and grow through sports.
