Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. joebiden.com

The Nazi regime tried to burn all the copies of 'Mädchen in Uniform' (1931) because of its Lesbian undertones. They couldn't, as prints had been distributed around the world.
In USA, Eleanor Roosevelt saw the importance of the movie & stopped its ban from being implemented.

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of Jews are blockading the @POTUS motorcade as it attempts to reach a fundraiser on the Upper East Side, calling on the President — in his first New York City appearance since the crisis in Gaza began — to stop funding Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

Just in case ppl insinute that my opposition to Israel's murderous acts means something else-
Im a Jew. My grandmother escaped the holocaust. My great uncle fought Nazis in the streets in Germany. I grew up around radical Jews that wanted revolution
I'm just fucking principled

We've curated a selection of 6 films by Palestinian filmmakers to help raise funds for those on the ground in Gaza. These films explore all the ways that the Israeli occupation stifles life and the many more ways that Palestinians resist and persist.
