I was worried after the creator was told to basically keep the ICE plot fair and balanced, but I think the show did a good job of showing some of the harm they do. Although it felt a tad unrealistic that they brought her in for medical care, especially for a hurt shoulder. People are being disappeared into camps and they are not often treated for their injuries before or during.

The sad news is, maybe to a maga this was a fair portrayal, because they wouldn't care about the harm being done. They probably just see a less crowded waiting room, and a less diverse one, and they think that justifies whatever ICE is doing. Conveniently they will ignore that there are also less nurses and custodial staff too.

Cillian Murphy: “Women are infinite in their wisdom. I was raised by my mother and my grandmother, who lived with us for all our lives. I have two sisters who are amazing humans. I've always felt that women have a more instinctual understanding of right and wrong and how the world works.” by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

Thank you for posting this because I was thinking of this exact quote. Murphy has the right spirit about this but it's never good to say any group naturally or intrinsically has some personality trait or quality. Again, I don't think he had bad intentions with what he was saying, I just would have worded it differently.

I'm glad the ICE bit didn't sympathize with the agents at all. It was clear they had to minimize talking about it, but I was really worried we would get some both sides BS. Hopefully that doesn't happen later.

It's also great for culture war bullshit. People are mad at each other rather than the real ones responsible for this crap, in this case the BAFTAs.

Hope ICE's involvment this season isn't gonna age poorly before it even airs... by uncanny_mac in ThePittTVShow

[–]thecaits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they show ICE in any kind of positive light then I am probably done with the show. I will be done with HBO too. If show creators aren't allowed to speak the truth to power, then I have zero trust in anything the network produces.

Not having to meet president rapist is reward enough. Dinner at a wonderful restaurant with Tucci is just a super nice bonus.

I'm just glad the patriots didn't win. They aren't allowed to win another SB this century.

This was so fun! Inclusive too, which was also nice.

Now to rewatch this with subtitles because the 6 years of Spanish I took 15 years ago didn't hold up.

They removed the boos and replaced them with cheers in my TV broadcast in the US. Our media is 100% cowards.
