Hi, it's me again. THIS IS A COUP. AN ACTUAL COUP. Not a drill, not a test, just a COUP. We are experiencing a coup in the United States, and the fact that we're not acting like that's an emergency is a problem. IT IS DAY 38 OF THIS COUP.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

I continue to be shocked by the inability of Dem legislators to seize the moment & make news. Want to highlight what's going at USAID to the average voter? When they won't let you in the building, make them arrest you. Have footage of you on TV being hauled off in handcuffs. It's not rocket science

In the wake of the fires, LA production is hurting even more than before. People can’t afford to live here if there isn’t work here. Sign our petition at the link in bio STAYinLA.org and share #STAYinLA widely. (And thank you to hireyoungprofessionals.com for designing our campaign!)

“I hate Hollywood. Let it burn,” say the people who consume what we create daily, laugh at the jokes we write, quote lines with their friends, count the minutes for the return of their favorite series, excitedly share trailers, and will spend the entire weekend watching movies and TV.
