Looking forward to signing up for this so I can, at every opportunity, slip into meetings an anecdote about my time at Harvard, as, for many in Hollywood, is tradition.

The world right now ….

The ICE Man Cometh Trump’s Gestapo is here. It operates throughout the country. It can suddenly arrest anyone, with no crime alleged, and deport them for permanent imprisonment overseas. Will anyone stop this?

It’s not theoretical. It’s not a future threat. It’s already here: a system of detention and deportation operating outside the law.
