Video is just another form of media.

With exception to the introduction which uses video evidence to set the stage for what they will talk about. Most of the video is framing the historical context with legal precedent (which would be better done with text imho) although they do use archival footage to exemplify the time periods being talked about. Watching the KKK march down the street is different than reading about it.

However, an important part of the video, the "We Are Not Powerless" chapter uses video examples and talks about them directly. This is similar to how one can use quotes in text but it's a lot easier to do this in video when you are talking about a chaotic recording of a crime which has many small details in it. The speaker also talks about the importance of actually seeing what is happening and to not look away.

Personally, I think it's a very well done and important video dispite the YouTube shilling and self promotion (which I auto skip with SponsorBlock) and worth a watch.

However, if you don't have time to watch a ~30 min video. I'll help you skip to the end.

TLDR: If the 5 words "of The United States or ..." were added to the text of Section 1983, then people could sue "federal agents" for violations of their freedoms protected by the Constitution and it's amendments.

PS, I think media literacy is more than just being able to read and understand text. Firstly, there are people with disabilities like dyslexia. Secondly, when you watch a movie like Casino (1985) and misinterpret it, you might end up like Stephen Miller.

Assuming they get access to a lawyer and aren't disappeared. How can they identify the "agents" that are involved in this attack?

Leucovorin is approved to treat chemotherapy side effects but can be prescribed off-label for autism symptoms.

"It puts physicians in a very tough position because they're being asked to prescribe something that is not evidence-based," said Dr. Shafali Jeste, an autism expert and head of pediatrics at UCLA, who does not prescribe leucovorin despite repeated requests.

We are talking about Chipotle alternatives. I doubt much on Chipotle's menu requires hours of constant stirring.

But even if not, really the only thing that requires constant stirring is risotto and even that's only for about 30 mins of active prep.

I've worked as a sous chef for a bit, so I understand cooking takes effort, but it's not a 2 hour process unless you're cooking in bulk to save time for later in the week.

Point is, It's not much of a time saver to go out to eat, unless it's already cooked.

Its more like 15 mins.

If you were to passively braise meat for 3 hours, you should not count the time it takes to cook if you can do something esle. Just count the time to actively do the prep. I'll put a braise in the oven and watch Lord of the rings till my timer goes off.

Punch the authoritarian directly in the face

 

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

We now have legal fees on top of our campaign expenses.

Trump used to say that Big Tech is a horrible thing for our country.

Now, he’s cozy with Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Silicon Valley. What changed?

We analyzed all the donors to Trump’s inauguration and uncovered a massive corruption and influence-buying scheme.
