One day, everyone will have been against this. We will be looked at through history as the brave ones. The ones who did everything in our power to change the world, despite how much it was against us.

Editing a piece while someone else is in it will never NOT feel weird to me. It's like, "ma, I'm getting changed!! Get out!!" 😭
Cuz like, if I open that up and someone is editing I pop right back out and let them do their thing, you know?! THERE ISN'T ROOM IN THERE FOR THE BOTH OF US.

This industry doesn’t ever do enough to address the source of failures like Snow White. It is not simply because it’s a bad film, but because of blind faith and support for a genocidal, racist ethnic-state.
Call it what it is. Hollywood’s Zionism is its own demise, and these flops are proof.

We're all tired of the controversies on Snow White, but as Tariq Raoouf says... blaming the failure of Snow White on Rachel Zegler won’t hide the fact that Hollywood viewers know about its pro-Israel double standards⬇️
Snow White-washing Gal Gadot and scapegoating Rachel Zegler

I wanna say something about Sam L Jackson’s “that speech is political” remark re: No Other Land’s win:
FILM IS POLITICAL! It has always been! And throughout the existence of the Academy SEVERAL speeches were just as political, and were greatly applauded.

Willing to pay, of course. Please DM/reply!

My aunt started losing her sight because of the chemical warfare she is experiencing, and her family traveled north to find their apartment totally destroyed.
We’re trying to raise enough to get her family

Are you waiting for the racism and violence to be so in your face, you can’t think of an excuse to ignore it any longer?
I hate the term “those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it,” because it is beyond obvious that even when you do know your history, you’re doomed.

I'm so sick of people using MLK quotes to make themselves feel morally righteous when in the face of real adversity and racism they just sit back and let it all happen because they don't want to risk their careers. 🤮
