The new movie from
@chronopictures
HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE is a gripping, year's best film. It also makes the compelling argument for taking more direct action to fight climate change as those in power do nothing to stop it.

Just heard back from

. It did not issue any tree trimming permit for that building. A statement said that "StreetsLA will issue a Notice to Comply to the property owner at 3801 Barham Blvd."
Quick shoutout to the good people at
@UniversalPics
for trimming the trees that gave our picket line shade right before a 90+ degree week.

says the office is investigating Universal heavily trimming back of trees without a permit
Our Office is investigating the tree trimming that occurred outside Universal Studios where workers, writers, and actors are exercising their right to picket.
The trimmed trees are LA City managed street trees.

Yes we can because if we don't more people will die. Come the hell on.
In the most cynical, conservative argument: Pay people now to stay home means we beat the virus quicker which means the "economy" restarts sooner with less cost.
Mnuchin on $600 unemployment benefit: We can't be "paying people more to stay home"

Millionaires.....okay, welcome to the resistance.
BREAKING: 250+ millionaires sent a letter to Congress urging them to include a Billionaires Income Tax in the final Build Back Better deal.
"It is neither fair nor smart to limit or exempt the bulk of billionaires’ growth in income from investments from tax reform," they write.

George W Bush lied and got the US into an illegal war with Iraq that cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians. And his administration racially profiled Muslims and spied on Americans without warrants. This is absurd.

That's not true, that's also not what's in the indictment. Also, Manning is a whistleblower who exposed war crimes. Trevor said it better than me:
None of this is true, even if you 100% believe everything in the DOJ indictment. DOJ does NOT allege Assange helped Manning access more documents than she already had access to, and it does NOT allege the password cracking even worked.
