[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.

So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?

He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!

When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.

He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

@billthextramile @Badgrlstrange @emilykmay You’re encouraging work & self-reflection w/o doing any of your own. So, women are needed for marriage/civilization. But pro-choice women are a threat. They’re coming for women’s reproductive freedom, not men’s. You’re pretending women have all the power. Nope.

[Mr. Zero Knew @blandladyshops]

@billthextramile @megan_fdt @emilykmay You’re kidding right? You’re saying western women have never been told to ‘do better’ for their husbands and children? Oh, only by every Doctor, Ad, columnist/magazine for 100 years from the Industrial Revolution straight through the end of the 1950s. Please. Try Her Math.

[emily may @emilykmay]

one of the wildest societal shifts happening right now is that marriage has always been optional for men, and now it’s also optional for women. and some people are ✨upset✨about this.

[LanaQuest aka RosaSparks @LqLana]

You don’t get to call Democrats groomers if your Party aka (cult) wants to track the menstrual cycles of young girls.

Are cool with child marriage.

Want to force child rape victims to remain impregnated by the rapist.

There's a sickness running through the Republican Party that overshadows politics. #FreshWords

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

This is Charles & Willa Bruce. In 1912 they bought prime beachfront land in Manhattan Beach, LA County and built a Black resort community. In 1924 the county took it and refused to pay its value. In 2021, worth $72 million, it was returned to their descendents by Senate Bill 796.

In 1912, Black Californians Charles and Willa Bruce bought a small slice of Manhattan Beach real estate for around $1,200. They built a resort for fellow Black families in the area who found themselves unwelcome at Whites-only beaches, even renting out bathing suits and selling snacks — and they were almost immediately subjected to racist attacks. Everyone from neighbors, the police, the city council, and even the Ku Klux Klan tried to close the beach down. The city imposed 10-minute parking limits near the beach to try and discourage visitors, and finally in 1924, the Manhattan Beach city council just seized the property entirely, offering the Bruces a fraction of their asking price. Today, the stretch of beach is worth around $20 million — and Los Angeles County voted to finally return it to the Bruces' descendants in 2021.

@lancearmstrong Well, that depends on what kind of world you actually want to assist in fostering. Have you apologized to the people you and your team went after for exposing the truth about you? Without good faith, your weighing in seems like a fickle attempt at best and fraudulent at worst.

About that:

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

Mass shooters don’t choose the AR-15 because it looks “cool.” They choose it, because they can kill upwards of 30 people before needing to reload.

On Sept 28th, 1982, 12 year old Mary Kellerman was hospitalized after being poisoned by a killer who laced a bottle of Tylenol that was on a store shelf, with cyanide. She died the next morning. A day later, six more would die from poisoned Tylenol.

By October 5th, Johnson & Johnson had issued a nationwide recall of 31 million bottles of Tylenol, and launched a massive advertising campaign to get people not to consume any of their products that contained acetaminophen (Tylenol)

The 1982 event inspired a rapid and radical shift in how certain products were sent out, quickly prompting manufacturers to start using tamperproof packaging. Untold lives have been saved in the years since.

The crisis management response by Johnson & Johnson is taught today as a model of corporate public relations and public safety.

These fucking shootings should be SIMPLE to fix. We KNOW how to rapidly bring about a massive reduction in school shootings and the senseless deaths of children and staff. We KNOW how.

It’s not happening, because organizations like the NRA spend millions upon millions of dollars to make sure GOP politicians do NOT allow those solutions to be implemented.

The NRA rewards the GOP for allowing our children to continue being slaughtered.

It’s NOT that we don’t know how to crush this. That, has never been the problem.

@justasisterfro2 Respect. Love his work. The end.

I wish schools taught this.

Memorial Day began in 1865 when 10,000 former enslaved & a few white missionaries honored fallen Union soldiers.

It was founded in memory of those who gave their life to end white supremacy terror, slavery, & human trafficking

Hmm maybe this is a sign we should not be letting any random parent dictate what reading materials are available to an entire school’s study body? https://t.co/LageOJvBdJ

@LakotaMan1 Devastating. I appreciate you & see how vital this is: you educating us. I’m a public school teacher; I realize this content won’t be allowed if extremists get control of our school board & curriculum. How can we prevent atrocities if we are never taught that that they happen?

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Donald Trump has proven he is unfit for office. He is a risk America can never take again.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

On Jan 6, Donald Trump refused for over three hours to tell the violent mob to leave the Capitol, despite pleas from his White House staff, members of his family and many others. No matter how many times he lies about this, the facts won’t change. He is unfit for any office.

#RepublicansDefaultOnVets

[VoteVets @votevets]

House Republicans have passed a 22% cut to Veterans benefits.

How can they claim to support Vets while playing politics with our health and well-being?

Now, they're willing to default to get their way.

Outrageous and unacceptable!

#RepublicansDefaultOnVets

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

We need as many veterans as possible to hear this message:

The GOP-manufactured default crisis throws vets COMPLETELY under the bus.

They’re holding the economy hostage because they want to cut your benefits by 22%.
