Are you a Buster Keaton fan? Have you seen my documentary Oh Buster, Where Art Thou? Good news, you can watch it for FREE on YouTube!! Check it out while you wait for my follow-up book, Another New World, dropping November 25th!!
this is exactly the same in Argentina, it’s forbidden for police to enter a public university without a judicial warrant and even then only the federal police or gendarmerie, there was a case a while ago where provincial police entered to arrest students and it was a scandal, the other time there was a petty crime in a protest on my college and there was a whole protocol to follow to arrest the guy, we don’t let cops in colleges
the concept of colleges or schools having police officers inside to me is completely alien and almost barbaric, what kind of learning enviroment are you fostering when there’s police and “shooter drills” in your educational system?

The reason why Latin America ejected the milicos and recovered (a very fragile, still incomplete) democracy was by the struggle of students, unions and the people. It’s still the only thing that keeps us going.
The United States is quickly, and I am not exaggerating one bit on this, sliding into a military dictatorship, as the remnants of the democratic system can only agree in one thing: keep the military going. Sooner or later, some milico will decide that they don’t even need the whole democracy thing after all.
I do not mean it to gloat, but as a warning. If the United States does not develop a popular movement soon that fights back instead of the defeatist attitude, things will get worse. And unfortunately, given their position, the consequences will be global.

Tomorrow (7/20), I’ll be live with a new episode of The Million Movie Project Presents where I’ll be discussing the evolution of film, and how yesterday’s big-budget musical is today’s action film. Tune in/subscribe, and check out past episodes of MMPP and Meanwhile, Back at The Ranch for info on Oh Buster, Where Art Thou? and the upcoming companion book Another New World, here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCblfwgsQT4_UvQ7ckQKYkXA
Fun fact! I shared the art in some huge FB artist groups, and it’s apparently universally-hated!! So if you like things that artists on Facebook hate, check them out.
After B*den shut down the railway worker’s strike (which–wtf?? how is that a thing), with all of these other unions striking, couldn’t they just re-call a strike? Their demands weren’t met, and negotiations shut down, so it shouldn’t have anything to do with contract-negotiation timing.
