Yes, but what then when people loose their zeal for using their time and money contacting their representatives. It is not sustainable status quo if we have to badger our representatives to represent the peoples’ interests, swamp their offices with to near shut down etc on a case by case basis. The system isn’t…

I think DeVos was the administration’s designated sacrificial pick or that her confirmation either way never was too important to them. Choosing her gave them opportunities to appease a large donor and at the same time (if she isn’t confirmed) punish or keep her in line (I believe she did criticize him in the early…

I support this! It’s time for a new guard, because swamping our congresspeople’s phones are not working. WE don’t have any resonance with them. We need to elect other people.

Eh, she was the evil queen to Lily Collin’s Snow White in Mirror Mirror. She didn’t bring much menace to the role, but that was pretty much the tone of the movie (comedy) so it worked out fine. That movie with August: Osage Country shows she has the abilities for it.

Not if they’re on equal footing, or to be honest to Viola’s abilities: almost equal footing. Roberts was again last year on the world’s best paid list of the ten best paid actresses (it’s a very white list). It’s like people forget that narrative matters and that despite recent questions to her box-office power, Julia…

My sister-in-law works as a PA for a Hollywood celebrity for a decade, obviously I cannot say for whom (the NDA is super strict, even her husband had to sign one). She says it’s a lot like having a second kid to care for without the satisfaction of watching them grow and mature. Sometimes when she is really…

If it was on the “Westminster Dog Show I..” article I think I saw some of it “almost live” and I didn’t really see anything that corresponds with their experience (of course that doesn’t mean it necessarily didn’t happen) and no matter, she can be experiencing great distress and be suicidal no matter what happened…

Yes, but not around the narrative. Then Viola will be the gem in a gooddamnawful movie (especially if Roberts is cast as anything but the white racist lady). Viola deserve to shine. Roberts is there for compliments to Viola.

She has played an evil queen in Mirror Mirror, and as Greys888 has pointed out played some moral grey characters (Closer and August: Osage Country). They all suited her better than the typical casts she gets, and they suited me too.

Yes, but those are departures for Roberts. I want only those and outright villain roles for her. Imo she is like Leonardo DiCaprio(imo), those roles, at this point in their career/life, suit them best.

Let us braid friendship bracelets of our shared hatred:)!

Yes, but I don’t want a rehash of “To Kill a Mockingbird” only with ladies and I don’t want Viola to be associated with that.

I want racist white lady for Julia Roberts, though I want only villain roles for her. And I want the role of a racist white lady make other people want those roles for Julia Roberts. I’m tired of movies where she is a designated good. And I definitively don’t want Roberts to steal this movie from Viola.

Well, if Julia Roberts is playing the racist mother then Hollywood’s casting of her is finally matching my perception of her.

Thank you

We know in whose footsteps they are walking and the the human costs of bureaucratic apathy in face of institutionalized indifference and cowardice. Everybody should check out the St Louis Manifest’s twitter.

This is the type of clientelism and arbitrariness is what is typical of broken states. It is the breeding ground for corruption (because, just depending on which airport you are not equal before the law) and to victimize entire peoples (none of my relatives want to take the planes now because they’re afraid of coming…

It’s. I could hear the kids crying in the background through every call. This ban, but also the way it was created and enacted, is to institutionalizing the uncertainty of a authorial/dictator state. It’s ridiculously traumatizing, especially for the many refugees fleeing state terror and this type of arbitrary…

My brother-in-law’s family was traveling to a wedding in (he and my husband are Iranian and green card holders) was traveling to their nephew’s wedding in Montreal and was waiting on a connecting flight at O’Hare when this shit came through. They literally ran out of O’Hare because they’re afraid of being detained in…
