From The Barcelona Review's current issue, a true delight for Haneke fans in Nicholas Royle’s “Michael Haneke’s Films Ranked,” set against Peter Bradshaw’s Guardian list, with a narrator who could well be a Haneke character himself.

it is generally forgotten that 15,000-20,000 Germans were killed protesting Hitler, or aligning themselves with groups protesting Hitler. always there are courageous persons in opposition to a rising authoritarian state, as we are seeing in the US; if those in opposition are not quickly joined by many more, indeed many many more, the effort will be lost.
these Nazi state killings of Germans included street executions like those committed by ICE, deaths in concentration camps, torture, & “preventive detention.”

When people imagine how a modern society descends into state violence, they often picture chaos, extremists, or secret death squads. Nazi Germany offers a far more uncomfortable lesson. Some of the most devastating crimes of the regime were carried out not by elite fanatics, but by ordinary police units operating through familiar procedures, paperwork, and uniforms. Understanding how these police battalions were structured, staffed, and deployed is essential, because their crimes emerged not from disorder, but from the efficient, routine functioning of law enforcement itself. Part I : The police battalions of Nazi Germany were not ad hoc mobs or irregular auxiliaries but formally organized, bureaucratically administered, and ideologically conditioned units that operated across occupied Europe. Their existence challenges the comforting myth that mass violence was carried out only by elite SS formations. In reality, ordinary policing institutions were transformed into instruments of systematic repression and mass murder.

They are trying to silence me.
The primary goal, as stated by them, is for me to stop posting and to stop releasing my political videos against the Trump administrations that have hundreds of millions of views.

London just joined Minnesota.
Trafalgar Square filled with protesters demanding justice for Alex Pretti while opposing Farage.
When state violence goes unchecked, the world notices.
Solidarity doesn’t stop at borders. 🇬🇧

"I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for Alex Pretti but I don't. You know why I wasn't shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my ass inside and out of their operations."

In this story, set during the period of Franco, the father of a family in the Basque Country decides that the family must now only speak Basque. The problem: their language has always been Spanish.

Sirât: Ravers making their way through the harsh Saharan desert , along with a father (and his son) looking for his daughter. It’s a punch in the gut to watch, but an amazing film with a mesmerizing soundtrack. My pick for best film of the year.

Enjoy this good story in which a neglected young boy is pulled awake by his beer-fueled father and the father’s friend to go on a boat trip where the drinking continues.

@cspan @SenatorDurbin You failed the party. For shame.

My statement on the funding deal to reopen government, protect federal employees, and vote to protect health care
English
Today I again voted to re-open the government, resume vital services for Maine people, put people back to work, feed the hungry and secure an opportunity to avoid a harmful hike in health care costs.
English
After 40 days as a consistent voice against shutting our government down, I voted YES for the 15th time to REOPEN.
I’m sorry to our military, SNAP recipients, gov workers, and Capitol Police who haven’t been paid in weeks.
It should’ve never come to this.
This was a failure.
