11 million Americans marched for the No Kings movement.
Many millions marched--even in Canada--for the Hands Off event.

If possible, be physically present in L.A.

Hey
@tedcruz: this footage is 5 years old.
@RealJamesWoods: hard to believe you're the same person I met in FL, filming Once Upon a Time in America. I was a lowly walk-on, but you were so friendly & interested in my years in Central America, where you'd just finished filming.

Arrivals at US airports are greeted not by light-filled halls & welcoming art but by armed & angry men in black uniforms; barking at you in a windowless basement; fingerprinting & interrogating you as if you’re doing something wrong by visiting this country & spending money here.
