NO, I don’t mean choosing to be child-free.
NO, I don’t mean being uncomfortable / not knowing how to interact with kids.
I mean calling children crotch goblins and sneering at parents and getting weird about small people who are experiencing the world for the first time. Just be normal about it.

While we’re on the subject, I also think it’s weird freak behavior to be an adult who makes Hating Children For Merely Existing their entire personality.

I hate this. When people die they live in our hearts and memories. Digitally resurrecting them to sell a movie is so dystopian and disruptive to the reality of mortality. We gotta get more anti ai

No, arrest the murderer now. If he walks they will keep killing us.
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?
JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

Tarantino calling Paul Dano a weak actor is funny because Tarantino is consistently the worst actor in every movie he has ever been in and it’s not even close.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Strongly recommend the Adam Friedland Show episode with Ritchie Torres. Very revealing of the kinds of folks we have “representing” us. Adam really won me over when he was being so genuine and vulnerable. Moving to see his whole ironic veneer just erode to Torres’s lack of humanity.
