Yet another night of asking myself "What would Big Bill do?" 🥲

Tomorrow join IATSE Local 15 in a rally to support Encore's in-house AV Technicians at the Hyatt Regency Seattle as they demand fair wages from Encore Global, a Blackstone-backed company!

Imagine if a country announced it was introducing the death penalty, but only for Jews. Imagine the global outcry.

But apparently it's fine to introduce the death penalty only for Palestinians...

angel productions remaking one of my favorite books critiquing totalitarianism and authoritarianism, only to turn it into a children's movie and calling it anti communist is really bumming me out. media literacy is important.

The 'no strike clause' is one of the biggest mistakes U.S. labor unions ever made. 😢

All these random guys like Cam Higby met with Netanyahu this summer at his influencer meeting and since then they’ve traveled all over the country - Dearborn, Texas, Minneapolis, Seattle - with camera crews doing agitprop on Muslims. Wonder where the funding came through.

The whole saga around this monument was almost poetically ironic, ending up with this grand finale: a monument meant to list "victims of Communism" with all names delisted.

An almost perfect metaphor for the ridiculousness of latent McCarthyism.

I spent the weekend hanging out with #ScabbytheRat bannering with Encore AV Technicians in Seattle. @IATSE

Fuck flippers. Nothing you did in less than 5 months is worth $365,000. #Seattle

I actually like the Seattle PWHL name and logo. Simple doesn't equal bad.

Every organization and representative endorsing both Harrell and Wilson is so funny to me, like yes, we endorse there be a mayor in Seattle. That is all. 😂 #seattle

In addition to being an amazing actor (AND writer, which is annoying), Noah Wyle was on the picket lines every single day during the strike and I will never forget that about him
