My first time programming a movie musical!!!!!!!!!!! So excited to share this bold, wacky film with our audiences at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social. This film was HUGE for me in 2007 (I’ve been lovingly calling it “baby’s first ‘weird’ movie”)!

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

Oracle is about to own TikTok.

Eli Clifton @eliclifton.com · 8d

Execs at Oracle, the likely new owner of TikTok, are VERY outspoken in Israeli media about the company's "mission to support the State of Israel" & "unequivocal support for Israel."

Insufficiently pro-Israel Oracle staff receive mental health counseling. responsiblestatecraft.org/oracle-tikto...

Oracle execs: Love Israel or maybe this isn't the job for you

Employees who disagreed were reportedly referred to company mental health services

When confronting and filming ICE, MASK UP BEFORE RECORDING.

ICE has partnered with Palantir for facial recognition services and are definitely building a database. Facial recognition and digital footprints are things everyone needs to be mindful of nowadays.

Not trying to be alarmist but to be real knowing your rights and filming what’s going on only scratches the surface of what we have to do to protect ourselves and others. The ones terrorizing people do not care about the law and we have to get creative if we are gonna keep each other safe

take this survey PLEASE! we need to maintain our public transportation. the CTA is too comprehensible and too many depend on it for it to worsen (further) and/go away

Gracie 🫶 @gracevanduran.bsky.social · 14d

No shade but if you like being able to take the train/bus home after a late night gig, you might want to fill this survey out if you want to be able to keep that as an option

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Had such a wonderful time finally getting to see Lady Gaga after being a fan for over 15 years! Didn’t peep the set list beforehand and allowed it to completely wash over me! Felt both like a teenager and like I was healing so much of that hurt kid. Such a special night
