I wrote about my kind, funny childhood friend Michelle Trachtenberg, and the group of friends that saved my life when I was a kid.

Other kids called Trachtenberg a bitch, but in our group of child stars, we all wanted to be like her.

I just dropped this on my family's group chat and it does accurately describe my current feelings towards events unfolding in the USA.
(Note: the "shining beacon of hope" statement carries a disclaimer that it has not been this for a very long time and, for some groups, never has been)
#notokay

A screen-capture of a text message reading:

"For the record, because apparently I need to spell it out for people.

I am NOT okay. I am angry, and I am sad, and I am full of rage at what is being done to this country right now by a gaggle of the dumbest, most racist pieces of human trash I could have ever imagined in charge of anything.
I am furious that the rest of my generation and the generations after it will likely have to spend our entire adult lives wading through and picking up the shattered wreckage of a country that was once the imperfect-yet-best attempt at a shining beacon of hope, prosperity, and democracy in the entire world.
I am terrified at what might come next; which group of people I care about will be targeted illegally and without cause but for being "different". I am quite literally considering abandoning the idea of international travel or even domestic air travel because my outspokeness could very likely land me in an interrogation room for no legitimate reason other than some MAGA snowflake had his fee-fees hurt by something I wrote on a website he chose to look at. The current federal administration and legislature of this country is NOT okay and it is not something we can just wait out."

A continuation of the preceding text message screenshot, reading:

"So again, I will say that I AM NOT OKAY so do not ask me this expecting anything other than: 1) A short, curt response intended to redirect the conversation. 2) A full-blown narrative version of the above statements.
Further, do NOT attempt to placate me. Do not attempt to tell me "it's going to be okay" or "you have to distract yourself" or anything else that boils down to "you have the luxury of looking away" because I DO NOT AND NEITHER DO YOU. NONE OF US HAS THE LUXURY OF LOOKING AWAY BECAUSE ANY OF US COULD BE NEXT."

Some of these celebrities are really that desperate to cling onto attention huh?

AZT did wonders during the early days of HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS is complicated, so it needed the support of other drugs to be more effective like ddl and ddC.

Reminder that today is an economic blackout. Don't buy from chains or big box stores!

However! You are still encouraged to shop at local and small businesses, and you can, of course, still buy medicine, food and emergency supplies.

Good explainer here:

A movement is calling for an 'economic blackout' on Friday. Here's what to know

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.
