I've written tv you've heard of and theater you probably haven't.

Watching Heated Rivalry and if this was produced in America, I think the exec notes might've ruined it. They'd be cutting these montages and sex scenes.

I have the biggest crush on Tom Morello (respectfully) and singing clips of him in Minneapolis with the crowd singing word for word, Killing in the Name - has made that crush expand. (Still bummed I missed him during WGA) strike.

I know this isn't funny but it is funny in a satirical way. I know these mfs are plugging shit into ai looking for a way to make this stick.
The Trump administration is invoking a Reconstruction-era law meant to protect Black people from the KKK to target Black journalists and activists.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

During Ferguson coverage, Don Lemon had a faux-hawk and it was like he was being activated. Something changed in his reporting. Can you imagine Don Lemon post unlawful arrest?

I'd watch a doc on how insane time the cast of Heated Rivalry is having after 6 eps of Canadian tv. It must be both amazing and frightening.

Like Guantanamo those dirty ICE agents will eventually pay the price. But I also want every Trump voter in jail for treason. Actually they can just go where they put ICE detainees.

Again: 2026 is white v white. Good white v bad white.
Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

If America was just, every white man would be screened upon entry. They'd be profiled daily because so many are dangerous. But no, that energy is saved for children in hoodies.
He had a syringe. A syringe filled with…idk (urine?)
The President of the United States has incited this kind of action against a sitting, Black woman member of Congress. Where is the “tone down the rhetoric” brigade?

I once had an older white theater director (working on a play of mine) tell me, he used to think everyone else had a race - but white was default, raceless. It took him a long time to realize he himself had a race. I'll never forget this. And still don't know why he needed to tell me.

Because of the way America is set up (esp economically) I think if all major league sports boycotted until ICE was dismantled, I think it could be done in a week. Or less.
The National Basketball Players Association has released a statement on the killings in Minneapolis:
“Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent”
