Between his deployment of federal troops to L.A. and his $45 million vainglorious birthday parade he’s throwing himself, Trump gave a campaign-style speech before active uniformed troops at Ft. Bragg. It crossed a very bright line. Why we should be worried, in today’s write-up. Link: buff.ly/T3LAggc

Expecting actors to make sacrifices of boundaries and comfort for a show comes from a culture that allows systems of power to abuse actors. No, thanks. #consentforward

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.
