Protest works. Shouting works. Bullying rich people works. Punching upwards works. Never let anyone tell you any different.
TLDR on new Robert Kraft statement:

It is so frustrating how cowardly rich people are. Like, the worst that can happen to you for speaking your mind is that the mainstream media tries to make you look crazy. And Ruffalo, Pascal, and Abigail Disney are still moving through life just fine, so...

this was revealed TWO years ago. i would really like to know what everyone in western media is smoking—because acting like this is some huge *new* revelation is not going to undo the genocide in Gaza or bring back the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were murdered there.
New reporting from Haaretz shows that, before October 7th, the Israeli Prime Minister was told to expect an “earthquake” from Gaza—and didn’t tell his security chiefs. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

i feel like paul schrader needs to take a ride with denzel in training day—because EVERY good actor wants to play a complicated character with nuance & if you can’t find a Black actor to do that, then that’s a *you problem*
maybe you’re just a failure masquerading as a director🤷♀️

everyone should be going public like this about harmful working conditions at their jobs. the only reason why companies & industries—incl media,fashion,etc—are allowed to get away with retaliating against employees who speak out is due to the silence & cowardice of others
