An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

β€œICE is only going after the worst of the worst, only violent criminals.”

β€œOkay, ICE is going after all immigrants.”

β€œICE is going after anyone who obstructs them.”

β€œYes, we want ICE to brutalize anyone who disagrees with us β€” and you should be afraid.”

Wash Post: U.S. forces struck Islamic State targets in northwestern Nigeria on Thursday evening, the U.S. and Nigerian governments said, acting after threats by President Donald Trump to attack the country in an effort to stop killings of Christians.

Wash Post: The Department of Homeland Security has announced the end of temporary protected status for a group of nearly 4,000 Burmese nationals β€” mostly persecuted Christians and democracy advocates. This action will send them back to a junta bent on punishing them.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."οΏΌ

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

The story is light on details as to this context, but the film can’t be separated from it. The real world lingers on the fringes, seeping into the plot and ignored as personal stakes are raised, only to come roaring back with a vengeance.

If you want a great film that actually engages with what it means to produce entertainment and spectacle in Western Sahara, may I recommend Sirāt; a film you might see a surge of coverage on soon since it just appeared on five Oscar category shortlists.

Do yourself a favor and feel bad then ok with Eva Victor’s β€œSorry, Baby”. You won’t be disappointed.
