VULCANIZADORA: An Enigmatic, Esoteric Film by an Award Winning Director Whose Movie Has a Posse of Film Aficionados Singing Its Praises While Scratching Their Heads

“Auditorium Movendum Caveat Ab Hoc Cinematographico”: This film is flushed with graphic depictions of shredded jaws, self-harm and flagellation and reproach, physical cruelty, human combustion and other horrors. It should not be viewed by children, the elderly or, the gods forbid, the squeamish. – Article, Review by Gregg W. Morris

Brooklyn College students and pro-Palestine protesters attempted to form a tent protest encampment on campus to demonstrate against the ongoing U.S. funded genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

In response, NYPD swarmed the campus to shut down the encampment, arresting protesters as well as university professors. NYPD became violent, using tasers on protesters as well as punching them.

YADANG THE SNITCH Filmmakers insist that their movie is the first of its kind, setting it apart from conventional action crime film in South Korea. – Article, Review by Gregg W. Morris

Bernie Sanders & AOC – Fight the Oligarchs: “… Largest Rally We Ever Had”


“When I took the stage in Los Angeles yesterday (Saturday April 12, 2025) and looked out at the crowd, I could see people a half-mile away. Thirty-six thousand (36,000) people attended — it is the largest rally we have ever had.



And when I see the record crowds like the ones we had yesterday, or the ones in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, I believe it may just be possible that this country is on the brink of the political revolution we have been talking about for a long time.

These people are not showing up because I am running for something. There is no presidential campaign happening.

These are people attending in huge numbers who are not just saying NO to oligarchy, but they are saying YES to raising the minimum wage, YES to expanding Social Security, YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right, YES, to cutting the cost of prescription drugs, YES to paid family and medical leave, YES to equal pay for equal work, YES to more affordable housing, YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all, YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.

Later today, we will be in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tomorrow we go to Boise, Idaho before returning to California on Tuesday for two rallies in districts held by Republicans and ending this leg of the tour in Missoula, Montana on Wednesday.

We will be streaming each rally on YouTube and Twitter, and I hope you will tune in to watch and share the links with your friends.
