This is the definitive takedown of the film’s place in the canon. I’d just add that at the level of craft, neither it nor Intolerance is particularly good. They‘re not well-told stories, the characters are uninteresting, and the action scenes aren’t particularly exciting.

1/ If your position is abolish ICE, this thread is still yours. The money is being spent NOW and we need to slow it down. Every GAO finding is part of the record a future repeal vote stands on. They removed the measurement first for a reason. You cannot abolish what you cannot audit.

I've spent months speaking to current & retired Black service members about being part of the military in this political moment. What I found were officers and soldiers despondent at the resurgence of racism, yet often insistent that they were fighting for what this country could be, not what it is.
