"While shooting, I became the target of a huge online hate campaign. Egyptians accused me of “blackwashing” and “stealing” their history. Some threatened to ruin my career — which I wanted to tell them was laughable. I was ruining it very well for myself, thank you very much! No amount of reasoning or reminders that Arab invasions had not yet happened in Cleopatra’s age seemed to stem the tide of ridiculous comments. 

It’s almost as if we don’t realize that misogynoir still has an effect on us today. We need to liberate our imaginations, and boldly create a world in which we can explore our historical figures without fearing the complexity that comes with their depiction. I am proud to stand with “Queen Cleopatra” — a re-imagined Cleopatra — and with the team that made this. We re-imagined a world over 2,000 years ago where once there was an exceptional woman who ruled. I would like to draw a direct line from her to the women in Egypt who rose up in the Arab uprisings, and to my Persian sisters who are today rebelling against a brutal regime. "

#human right

This is about defining who is fully human and who is not. #RoeVWade

Pregnant people have rights that a potential person does not. Preganant people are not subordinate.

being jaded will be the death of democracy keep believing in change for the better and work for it. it happens over time with alot of work and we have to do it for the rest of out lifes. take no rights for granted.

Elie Mystal: "There are things we can do NOW. There are things we should have been doing since last SEPTEMBER when Texas went rogue and cancelled constitutional rights before SCOTUS did. Fight to make people DO THESE THINGS. Stop throwing up hands as if there's nothing that can be done.

* Make abortions available on federal property leased to providers who pay for it out their own pockets and charity.

* Guarantee the right to travel, AND TRAVEL VOUCHERS for people in need of a "vacation"

* Make abortion meds available through the federal post and on fed land

We can do these things RIGHT NOW, before the midterms.

Then:

* Win in November

* Eliminate the filibuster

* Pass federal abortion protections

* Expand the Supreme Court so they don't overturn the new legislation."

Please note: when Mystal refers to leveraging federal land he is NOT talking about reservations.
