Funny because Scream is a parody of horror movies and Isreal is a parody of nazi Germany.
-
she and matty lillard came out later in support of her, iirc
-
@wajali.bsky.social Men show up for men. They do not do the same for women. Kathy Griffin was dragged after her Trump comments, male comedians didn't rally around her. The male voice in America is the loudest. Men need to use it more, but also with women, not in spite of them.

I never forgot about Melissa Barrera, I remember her courage, I remember the shitty producers of Scream sacking her, and how Jenna Ortega left the movie in protest. She was one of the first, but I like to think now that if she did it she'd get much greater support from everyone.

Genocide isn't politics. Someone needs to explain that to Ed. What we now know about Ed Sheeran, that we never knew before, is that he wouldn't have killed Anne Frank, but he wouldn't have hidden her either.

Which itself was a parody of manifest destiny

You let me know if you find out. It is wild that women are rarely heard.

Melissa Barrera rules and Paramount fucked up Scream 7 by dropping her.

858..."We know too well - especially Melissa - that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians." Nelson Mandela 1997.

...and? The Israeli government is committing genocide to the Palestinians. Or do you buy the Israeli bullshit propaganda?
-
We didn’t know. Do not forget that most of us grew up, unbeknownst to us, steeped in Israeli propaganda. If it were not for the flood of ME refugees who came to Canada, we still might not realize what was happening. We know now.

Right too early just like Hasan Piker. And for those who supported her privately but not publicly shame on them too.
-
It's not as hard now to speak out: Chicks broke the barrier

We can care about Sudan and Gaza. Humanity is an equal opportunity emotion.

Unlike this absolute nut bar, normal people understand that it's been a genocide for a little longer than since October 7, like decades. And further, understand that even if a response were warranted, the atrocities committed since by the Isreali government and military are crimes against humanity.
-
The problem is after her being fired from SCREAM 7 or whatever she is being offered very few film roles. I’m glad she was able to shift to stage, but I’d like to see her back on the silver screen (if that’s what she wishes to do).
-
When will you speak about the orders of magnitude (projected to be 5 million!) who are dying in Africa, mostly because the US ALONE ended USAID? Don't Black lives matter anymore? Did America stop caring on 10/7?
-
Women also need to rally around women but Kimmel and Colbert could have had Kathy on as they feuded with Trump. Rosie's comment was heartless.
-
Robert Kraft did it. This article does not mention him. He is the cause of all of this. Censoring by and for the wealthy. Robert Kraft. He should be named.

January 2023, before October 7th. They were cancelling Jenna Ortega.

And also Jenna Ortega about the same time

Most every feature of that NYT story remains unsubstantiated or has been outright debunked. Israel has blocked every independent investigation. As Sheeran told his fans, what Israel is doing in Gaza is unjustified. A war can be justified. Genocide cannot be. The catastrophe of the Nakba must end.

In US politics Zionism and Judaism have been so indistinguishable that someone can make two different arguments and believe they are making one. I found this whole conversation fascinating, but particularly this part:
-
Revisiting Macklemore's old hit "Thrift Shop", I forgot how fun that song is... A tribute mural appeared in Gaza, thanking Macklemore for raising his voice in support.
