  1. ICE is coming for Boosters

    "To counter the purported national scourge of “organized retail crime,” a bill moving through Congress would deliver the Department of Homeland Security unprecedented policing powers, granting even more authority to what experts say is an already lawless ICE."
    . . . .

    "The premise that organized retail theft is a rampant crime phenomenon, rather than a new name for the timeless petty offense of shoplifting, is disputed and controversial. In 2023, the National Retail Federation, a trade group that supports the bill and whose warnings are cited in its text, retracted a report claiming organized retail crime was responsible for 50 percent of the nearly $100 billion worth of merchandise that went missing in 2021. The true number was found to be closer to 5 percent of that sum."

  2. “Every aspect of mundane life is seemingly exaggerated in Riley's surrealist style: colours are brighter, sex is weirder, music is louder and antagonists are more conniving.”

    An underrated showpiece by Marxist writer, director Boots Riley. In #Ottawa at the Mayfair Theatre for only 3 nights, we highly recommend I Love Boosters!

    Great for film geeks.

  6. "[Art] has to be driven by a passion for something other than making art. If you're an artist and your main passion is making art, then that's like talking to someone whose main passion is talking. It gets boring really quick. Even though they're really good technically at it." -- Boots Riley
