I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Russia has been attacking Ukrainian data centers in Kyiv trying to knock out their internet. So Ukraine attacked Russia's largest Yandex data center and burned the place to the ground.

A Russian glide bomb strike on two minibuses in Kramatorsk killed 33 people and injured 22 others on the morning of 8 October. This is the everyday reality Ukrainians are forced to live through, as Russia continues to show utter disregard for international law and human life.

This comes a bit out of nowhere, and is for a VERY limited audience, but highly recommend that for any indie film makers out there, you include language in your contract that there is a path to buying back or regaining your film after a certain amount of time. It’s my one regret with MUTE.

Serious human rights violations and the repression of democratic opposition are rarely the work of one institution. They involve prosecutors bringing cases, judges handing down sentences, and officials keeping the machinery moving.
