When neighbors are threatened by ICE, everyday Americans step in with lessons from history... NEW short film from director Ellen Gavin and immigrant labor icon Dolores Huerta: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOgb...

PS here’s me and @roxanegay.bsky.social at said Sparks game (she had THE BEST SEATS EVER) and new creature alert Vigo the Carpathian Wonder.

One of my roles in the revolution: give fuel to take a deep breath & know that we’re gonna make it… here’s some fuel: these pictures taken after the LA Sparks game. 🇺🇸 Now go call your representative about something or donate to a place taking care of immigrants

Seeing the indigo girls with my friends last week ,gave me enough juice to do some high energy calling of my representatives this morning

Karen Bass: "You don't deploy the armed forces because of people's feelings."

My Great Dream is to Make Art and share the art I make. Whatever you’re art is (making food, teaching, painting, pickleball, dancing) the job of our art is to make the Revolution (of Love, of Progress, of Peace, of the Planet) IRRESISTIBLE. I’ve made a show called OUTDATED- here’s a taste.

The village it takes to make a Penny Garcia.

Hello name doppelgänger @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social it is my understanding you’ve implied fellow helper Zorhan Mamdani is affiliated with some nefarious folks, if so- Is what you said founded in truth? Real question. Or is he scary because of his refreshing kindness, courage and authenticity?

No matter where you live if you would like to see this play I wrote you can get a streaming ticket! Our 6/28 show at 4pm PST will be filmed and streamed and you’ll have at least a week to watch it- here’s the link for a ticket www.eventbrite.com/e/outdated-0...

Zohran Mamdani is standing up to the oligarchy and fighting to make one of America’s most expensive cities affordable for the working class. If you’re a New York City voter, I urge you to rank him #1 on your ballot by next Tuesday. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Two more dates and 4 more shows of outdated: www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/117...

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

❌👑

worth adding. he's the ranking member on the immigration subcommittee. of course she knows who he is.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

See you on Saturday. Deep breaths. 🇺🇸

My mother was checking in on me because she was worried about Los Angeles. This is us Saturday night raising money for unhoused kids.

Quote by Valarie Kaur Art by me.

We are BACK - in this picture I think Garcia is hopefully looking to the sky in anticipation of the company that this show is on bringing back their diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments that got taken away because a president made a mandate. Some mandates are dumb but DEI is smart forever.

Make art! Repeat! Come see a showwwwww

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXtX... This is from a monologue from a play I wrote years ago. I am so fortunate to know a courtyard of creatives I can call and say “hey, let’s use some of our righteous rage and make something really fast for women’s history month” and we did.

If you are a Southern California person upset about @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, the theatre his book tour will be at on 3/23 is the Moss Theatre. Their phone number is 310-828-5582

Make Art. Repeat. Especially Highly Political Art. Especially Imperfect Highly Political Art. ESPECIALLY NOW.

DELIGHTED I FOUND @truthandcookies.bsky.social you will be too. 💙❤️🤍

What’s she building in there? Make art. Repeat.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

This is a blue sky only not telling Instagram share because you deserve it. Thank you for taking care of your sweet hearts and making good trouble daily. I see you.

I love to know I’m in comfort shows!! yes I’m in four episodes of this new season and it’s super delicious. Thank you for watching it.

Here is a better copy of the letter. 😊🦋

@tommylenk.bsky.social @felicia.day #theguild make art. repeat.

@felicia.day masterpiece of silly #theguild produced by @tommylenk.bsky.social is still streaming and it will make you laugh and that will give some energy.

If you go to the Dynasty typewriter website, you can still get tickets for the next seven days to watch this streaming and it is pretty incredible what @felicia.day & @tommylenk.bsky.social started.

If you go to dynastytypewriter.com now I think you can still get a streaming ticket to see this crazy kids @phillamarr.bsky.social @felicia.day @tommylenk.bsky.social

It would be a true shame to share a full list of children's picture books that were banned as well: discover.bklynlibrary.org?booklist=660...

It would be a real shame if someone posted Banned book lists, like from a great resource, PenAmerica: pen.org/banned-books...

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

We now interrupt your doom-scrolling to remind you: -you are still here -you still matter -there is still hope -there are still things you can do -there are still ways you can show up -the fight is long from over -don't feel bad for resting -take a breath, take a break -we still have each other

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday! Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action. NEVER talk to police & always STFU! Full video in thread👇

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”
