BREAKING: An LA County Sheriffs deputy has been arrested in a sting for smuggling drugs into a county jail facility.

The deputy was working within Operation Safe Jails, a gang intelligence unit, at a facility home to a deputy gang.

Saw THE FALL GUY in 4DX and it was freaking hilarious, confusing, annoying getting PUNCHED in the back every time someone got hit LOL. It was such an absurd experience at one point I couldn’t stop laughing. I had a great time. I got my ass beat. Stunt people 4eva GIVE THEM OSCARS

A great reminder from protesters last night. Look up LASD gangs.

So we’re all clear, we’re all watching police officers use excessive force while also watching politicians lie about it and not condemn it.
All in response to, again, a genocide.

Becoming very clear that by “peace” so many people mean “quiet”

This is who matters.

So much to celebrate!!! Love my fellow The Future of Film is Female filmmakers!!!!

Two #Filipino filmmakers, Don Josephus Raphael Eblahan & Kristine Gerolaga (Kristine Gerolaga), among fellows selected for the 2024 Directors, Screenwriters, and Native Labs, announced by The Sundance Institute.

After such a life/career/project-changing experience at The Sundance Institute’s January Screenwriters Lab, I can’t believe I get to return for the June Screenwriters Lab to continue deepening and carving out my Filipino horror feature LAMOK!

USC email just now:

'We know that for many people, today’s demonstration was very upsetting.'

Let's clarify that.

'We know that our investments in genocide and our deployment of police brutality are shameful, but we don't give a fuck.'

My pilot MAGICAL NEGRO won the TV award and The Oscar Micheaux prize for Philly Film Office 's Set in Philadelphia contest! I'm super proud of this, esp being from Philly myself😁 Legit means a lot to me🙌🏾 And might as well take a quick sec to say that I'm available for staffing haha

Anti-genocide protesters are currently being arrested and kicked out of universities that receive federal funding. Abortion rights could have been codified by any of these people in the past 50 years. We're watching a historic removal of human and civil rights under their watch.

Stop filming and taking photos in movie theaters you dumb losers.
