Los Angeles was my home for many, many years. Even today when I land in Burbank, I feel like I'm home. There are plenty of photos of the destruction so I don't need to share more of that. After we lost our home during the Colorado wildfires of 2020, I know how triggering all of that can be. 1/9

Every time I return to Los Angeles I feel like I am home. I am devastated to see so many friends affected by the fires right now.

87% of SAG-AFTRA members earn less than the $26,470 per year required to be eligible for health coverage. It’s not a union of the rich, and earning more doesn’t diminish your right to fight for people who earn less.

A year ago, after I condemned Rotary International for including PM Modi's recorded statement at the International Convention, I also faced a similar backlash. We need journalists and everyone to question hypocrisy and I applaud Sabrina Siddiqui for holding him accountable.

Best parallel I can think of is if we tried to invade Canada because we thought Vancouver was basically ours, the entire US military got tied up in the forest, then Blackwater turned on us and started heading towards DC overnight, except Blackwater was financed by Rachael Ray.
