Links to filmed extracts of two plays of mine. Fine performances and direction, neither of which had anything to do with me.

Is this "cancel culture"?

"Professor who teaches about antifascism moves to Europe after death threats"

www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
One online activist called Bray a “domestic terrorist professor,” and another shared the address of his home in New Jersey. The campus’s chapter of the conservative student group Turning Point USA then launched a petition Thursday to demand that the university fire him, referencing Trump’s executive order and claiming Bray is a risk to their safety.

Bray has received three death threats since Sept. 26, including one threatening to kill him in front of his students, according to screenshots of emails reviewed by The Washington Post. The threats and the publication of his address compelled Bray to move his family to Spain for the remainder of the academic year, he said

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.
Tweet from Alex Tabarrok reads:
“Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years.
The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party.”
Attached photo shows Sergio Garcia standing with Laura and George W. Bush outdoors. The photo is signed: “To Sergio Garcia, With best wishes – George & Laura Bush.”

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

If you want to create a docile, obedient nation, first attack the arts so you deskill children of critical thinking. Once you’ve done that the people can be moulded as their rulers please. Beware this barbarism. It’s a path to demagoguery and authoritarianism

They used to do a lot of coercion to get the crops in back in the good old days.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

In the McCarthy period, those Americans who'd criticized Hitler prior to December 1941 were described as "prematurely anti-fascist."

He couldn't "settle a war" if his limo ran overone in the dark.

Q: Do you think you will win a Nobel Prize?

TRUMP: I settled seven wars. But perhaps they'll find a reason not to give it to me

Portland is ... right there. It's a real place. People live in it. People can go look at it. You could call someone there right now.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

A house in Clacton bought with unknown finances, a Russian funded Welsh leader and now an investigation into the finances and tax affairs of one of Farage’s key ally.

The treachery and corruption is right in front of the media’s eyes and they do and say, NOTHING!

Pritzker isn't low-IQ because he's not Black. Only Johnson is low-IQ because he's Black.

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

Does it matter that this is utter delusion? No one needs to be PAID to loathe him, surely!

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

There are suddenly lots of job alerts for creative writers...unheard of opportunities for earning...to work for AI companies teaching machines how not to sound like machines. They are killing us, and paying us table scraps to cut our own throats.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that
