Sheelah Kolhatkar at The New Yorker: "During a q-and-a...with Gibney...the filmmaker said that he hoped people would watch “Musk” in time to make more informed decisions during the midterm elections. This seems wise: all Americans should probably watch this film like their life depends on it."

Russian bastards attacked a bus full of people in Kramatorsk. 30 civilians were killed and 18 injured. I want you to think about more than those numbers. Just imagine the grief, the terror, the pain. The screams, the sounds, the smells. This is russia’s war against #Ukraine. #Ukrainianview

This goes against the intuitions of a lot of older people who were socialized into the party alignment of the 1970s-1980s-1990s. But you could make a case that the Trump second term is the most directlyand outwardly anti-Christian presidency in American history.
