She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle.

If alcohol, tobacco and drugs aren’t allowed within 1,000 feet of schools—tear gas shouldn’t be either.

We send our kids to school to learn, not receive front row seats to Trump’s extreme enforcement tactics.

I’m demanding Trump’s Education Secretary Linda McMahon do something to stop this.
Senators demand Linda McMahon ask DHS to stop immigration enforcement near schools
The letter says that “if society can agree that alcohol, tobacco and drugs should be kept at least 1,000 feet away from our schools,” then “violent DHS tools and tactics also belong on that list.”

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Chicago just went all in on renewable energy and is demonstrating that it works. Chicago now powers EVERY city-owned building – from airports to police stations – with renewable energy. That includes O’Hare airport.

"universal health care means studios wouldn’t have to subsidize workers’ medical expenses" -- hmmm interesting
Marvel is leaving Atlanta and heading to the UK, citing rising costs.

Labor costs are less expensive in the U.K., and universal health care means studios wouldn’t have to subsidize workers’ medical expenses.

This move alone could cost Atlanta up to 20,000 jobs.
