When a supporter asked Trump a prescreened question about addressing inflation, he offered a lengthy answer. Since voters are so concerned about policy positions, I simply printed it in full. Hope it’s illuminating. Gift link: wapo.st/4eK0Zym

On this day in 1893, silent superstar Lillian Gish was born in Springfield, Ohio. In 1988, I wrote to her asking if silent films had actual dialogue written out in the scripts or if there was just a general description of what was being said. This was her remarkable reply.

WFMU’s October Hellraiser, our mostly silent, off-air fundraiser, starts today! The Hellraiser helps us get through the winter months, as the funds we raised in our spring Marathon dwindle. Help us out with a donation and grab one of two new T-shirts. pledge.wfmu.org/donate?step=…

Guy goes to I/P for a week and half and thinks he can solve the insoluble. What a bloated ego and the need for attention can do.
Ta-Nehisi Coates’s writing on race fueled a reckoning in America. Now he wants to change the way we think about Israel and Palestine. Read our new cover story now: trib.al/14EyFWS

A bunch of neo-Nazis are rampaging around. You know who to blame? Jews.
Black people, Muslims, and Arabs are being attacked and almost lynched across England This is how Zionism and imperialism erode societies. When you normalize murder and racism this is what happens. Revolting.
