It's just after 1pm on another picture perfect fall day in Chicago. So far today, masked federal agents have taken people from Brighton Park and suburban Aurora. ~1 year after the "Blitz" began, the alerts haven't subsided. ICE is still breaking windows and destroying worlds.

1 year ago today, feds terrorized & injured people outside the Broadview ICE building for a second day in a row. What followed was a terrifying several hours as we waited to learn the fate of our co-founder (clearly marked as press) who was pulled inside. He was later released without charges:

The best way to fight back against the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger is to support independent artists, journalists, writers, filmmakers, musicians and everyone else who has been walking a very hard path to putting things out into the world.

While ICE agents were shooting Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin on Sunday, their colleagues were violently detaining a US citizen in Evanston, IL who "resembled" a person they were seeking. The victim reported "injuries to his head, neck and teeth":

Dolly Parton was "apolitical" only in the sense that the basic decency and Christian charity she espoused were the product of her own values and not a reaction to half the country crafting its own politics in opposition to those things.

ALT version.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel.  To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.


This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

It is not deregulation. It is dismantling a service and destroying a program model. The current federal frame on this is that Head Start is childcare and the rule changes are removing burdensome regulations to help meet the growing need for care. Please please report the story and not the spin.
