Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the cityβs most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU
So honored to be included in this sizzling pack!
I hope Mamdani does become Mayor for real π
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed fellow Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as her first choice for New York City mayor.
Sending lots of love to you and your family, Marya ππ

Brilliant vocal... brilliant lyrics!
At a new life we took aim
We set the vast conglomerates aflame
The working class avowed its name
Of Americaβs mysteries none remain
We broke the hidden tyrannies
Of the reptilian joint-stock companies...
We are born in flames!
Hi Andy P βͺ@subcinema.bsky.socialβ¬, I so appreciate it. Again, many thanks for showing Born In Flames and Happy Holiday!
Understood! Many apologies, will the current BluRay suffice? - Andy P.
Yay!!! @ subcinema.bsky.social but PLEASE not VHS π± The restored version is so much better. I will find another way!!!
Thank you, Tom! The honor is mine:)
Hi @tomhall.bsky.social, thank you for watching BORN IN FLAMES. I hoped the film wouldn't be relevant today but it's more important than ever to cross race and class lines to, as you incisively write, to "collectiviz(e) the process, locally and inclusively, to help us begin the fight immediately! β"

"And when we articulate and assert our presence, we can attempt to change our lives for the better and change the future we create. This is my history, which is part of yours. This is our history.β-Antonia Crane, from @lizziela.bsky.social's WHOREPHOBIA (2/3)
In this week's Directed By Women Viewing Guide I am recommending a pair of new restorations from a trailblazing Lebanese filmmaker, one of my fave films from last year that is now on streaming, three more streaming gems, an Oscar-winning short film & the films of a husband-and-wife documentary team.
Sign the petition to demand Mahmoud Khalil be immediately released and threats against his legal status be dropped! And call on members of Congress and university leaders to protect and defend the right for students to organize and protest. sign.moveon.org/petitions/fr...
Women donβt wait for change, we make it. Weβve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isnβt over. Letβs get to work.

But it's true
Thank you for mentioning Born In Flames π It is available on Criterion and free on Kanopy with a library card.
In solidarity, Lizzie
