I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. - James Baldwin

Excited to join my colleague @at_howard in presenting Wendell B. Harris, Jr.'s great, too-rarely-shown Chameleon Street this Friday night, Nov. 6, at 7 pm, at the Greene Space at @WNYC for @TNYRadioHour; Adam (also a longtime enthusiast) and I will discuss it after the screening.
This November 6th, I'll be hosting a special screening of the black cinema classic "Chameleon Street" with the great @tnyfrontrow -- you don't want to miss this rare opportunity to see this special film with a NYC audience. Tickets are available now at: wnyc.org/events
I’ll be introducing a screening of the charming, silly and very entertaining Rutger Hauer action movie Blind Fury at the Williamsburg Nitehawk Cinema on August 17th. Tickets are on sale now, you don’t want to miss it!

Van Lathan & Rachel Lindsay had one of the best takes summarizing who Trump is, what he represents, and why he’s untouchable.
For nearly a decade in public (and perhaps in private) Trump has insisted that he has inherited intellectual superiority from an uncle who went to MIT.
Trump appears to be unraveling live on stage
“When I say insane asylums, and then I say, Doctor Hannibal Lecter, does anybody know? They go crazy. They say, oh, he brings up these names out of— Well, that's genius. Right. Doctor Hannibal Lecter. There's nobody worse than him. Silence of the Lambs. Who the hell else would even remember that? I have a great memory, but they always hit me. I don't bring it up too much because they have to take such a— he brought up Hannibal Lecter. What does that have to do with this? What is it? It has everything to do with it, right? He was… So I've done something for you for you that I haven't done in 20 speeches. I brought up Doctor Hannibal Lecter and we're allowing him, you watch, you watch these fake people will say again, he brought up Hannibal Lecter has absolutely nothing to do. You know I do the weave, right? The weave. It's genius. You bring up Hannibal Lecter, you mention insane asylum. Hannibal Lecter. You go out, no. There'll be a time in life where the weave won't finish properly at the bottom and then we can talk. But right now it's pure genius. Hey, I have an uncle, my uncle, Uncle John, my father's brother, 41 years at MIT, longest serving professor has so many degrees, he didn't know what the hell to do with them all in the most complicated. I understand a lot of this stuff, you know, I believe in that. Like, I mean, Jack Nicklaus is not gonna produce a bad golfer. Right. You know, that's the way it works. It's just one of those things and it's in the family and it's whatever”

I'm shocked the guy who thought Dean Phillips would win Michigan finds @elonmusk's propaganda video credible
Here are some arguments, Bill:
1) It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and they don't, because you need a license or SSN to register
2) All mail-in ballots are verified in every state
3) 95% of noncitizen growth went to red states since 2019 (Cato)
4) TX, FL, NC (red) gained the most House seats in the 2020 Census; CA, IL, NY (blue) lost the most.
5) If non-citizens weren't counted in the Census, TX, FL, and CA would each lose 1 seat; AL, MN, OH would each gain 1 (Pew)
6) Demographics have not been destiny for Democrats - the party's advantage with voters of color is at its lowest point in 60 years, driven by a rightward shift among Latinos (Axios)
7) If Biden and Democrats believed the idiotic assertion that illegal immigration would help their party, the President probably wouldn't have deported more undocumented immigrants than Trump did, and he probably wouldn't be campaigning on a conservative Republican's bill that would temporarily shut down the border.

You can’t overstate the audacity of a white man born in apartheid South Africa who inherited his wealth, status & privilege —whose entire life has been one big racial preference — lecturing about the perils and fundamental unfairness of affirmative action. nytimes.com/2022/05/05/world…

There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors.
In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall.
We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.
I wonder if this time next year when Ukraine has fallen and the filibuster has been eliminated so that a national abortion ban can pass if we’ll still be talking about how Joe Biden was too old.

Imagine being a judge and thinking you alone should determine how, when and if all the women in your state get to plan their families.

At least once a month I think about the time Trump implied that Putin uses the n-word in reference to Obama and then seconds later said “I hope he likes me.”

Donald Trump regularly accuses prominent black women of being ‘racist’ without evidence, presumably against white men like himself. This projection on his part should not go as unchallenged or unnoticed as it routinely does.
