Be a Melissa Barrera, not an Ed Sheeran.

Yes. Women always seem to lead the way for human rights, but men always seem to garner the most attention. Is it a cultural thing that’s reflected in media? Is it a media thing perpetuated and exaggerated by culture?
-
What does demolishing whole towns in Gaza and building illegal settlements have to do with freeing hostages?
-
Didn't realize Melissa experienced cancel culture for taking a stand for humanity. ✌🏾✨️

I will forever have respect for this woman!! She took the hit and slander and did not break. Not one apology. Mad respect! ✊🏿🤎🙏🏿🇵🇸

Thank you! I still won’t touch the Scream franchise after what they did to her. Good on Jenna Ortega for leaving too, but I always felt some type of way for her not explicitly saying she left because of how they did Melissa and instead blaming it on her scheduling conflicts

Israel’s attacks and land theft has been going on much longer. It’s why Hamas exists in the first place. And those kids lining up for food, just To be shot weren’t participating in oct 7. Same with all the kids they’ve murdered.

The Gigi Hadid certainly didn't get a good deal of support

Just saw her in Titanique. She was sooo good

People need to stop throwing around that word. ISIS murdering Yazidis was genocide. Turks murdering Armenians was genocide. Misuse of the term cheapens it and degrades history.

Unlike you, I prefer not to forget about the atrocities conducted by Charlemagne’s armies in Northern Spain and in Italy in the 9th century… Just say you’re a necrophile, it’ll faster trust me!

Genocide as a term was created to describe the Nazi attempting systematically to kill every Jew in the world.

thanks #melissabarrera is beautiful and brilliant af!!! I loved her as “Lyn” in VIDA

Spyglass, the company said it had “zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech.”

more lies and propaganda. So happy that you have the opportunity to spread your hate. Free speech is wonderful. Macklemore was not kicked off the show because he is a bigot - which eh is - he got kicked off for hujacking Sheeran's show,
