There's a whole list of folks I wish were alive to chronicle the current moment but who I'm also glad didn't live to see how much we failed to listen to them. Carlin, Hicks, Vonnegut, etc. But Raoul Peck's new doc, ORWELL 2+2=5 adds another name. That and more at @orartswatch.org this week.

Filmmaker Raoul Peck's portrait of the author of "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and "Animal Farm" draws comparisons between Orwell's prescient social criticism and today's political climate.

I was barely able to see TATAMI, a film about a female Iranian judoka, in time to write about it for this week's FilmWatch column at @orartswatch.org. I'm glad I did, it's a powerful political thriller wrapped inside a sports movie. That and more at the link. www.orartswatch.org/filmwatch-we...

Grateful to @jaywillis.net for investigating ANOTHER children’s book slandered by the Supreme Court to find that—surprise, surprise—Neil Gorsuch is lying about what’s in it. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/pride...

I Think Neil Gorsuch Is Lying About a “Religious Freedom” Case Again
Why did Gorsuch claim that ‘Pride Puppy’, an alphabet book about a lost dog, introduces kids to bondage and sex workers? Let’s find out!

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
