Last night after the show a friend and I were verbally & physically assaulted at @PhebesNYC by a drunk girl who I only assume was an NYU student with a fake ID. It was traumatic, but I wasn’t about to be victimized. Not after starring in a show I wrote about not being victimized. It started when she grabbed me from behind with both hands and pushed me away from the bar yelling “excuse me I need to get a drink!” I turned right back around and bumped her ass out the way with my hips. She was stunned and looked at me wide eyed: "what are you doing!?”

Here’s my #nepobaby story if anyone wants to make a graphic. My great great uncle Nicholas Nayfack (1909-1958) signed Judy Garland to MGM & produced 2 iconic films, Border Incident (1949) & Forbidden Planet (1956). Family lore, he wouldn’t give my great uncle Julie a job. Poster of Forbidden Planet,...Poster of Border Incident On my mom’s side, her grandfather Alec Roseman (who I’m dead named after) was a scenic carpenter who worked on all the old motion picture lots. Family lore is he wasn’t a great guy. When his wife died he left my papa and his other kids in a Jewish orphanage Boyle Heights (1930s). Photo of Vista Del Mar, B’n...

Today my friend got fired from #TraderJoes when he recommended enhanced COVID-safe practices. He’s been working there all through the pandemic, but I guess his labor (and his health) aren’t essential to corporate. Support Crew for a @TraderJoesUnion! Here is #TraderJoes response to @BenBonnema’s letter. It’s pathetic. Instead of addressing his concerns as an employee they signal out two of his recommendations for keeping employees safe as contrary to the value of the company and fire him. Trader Joe’s is trash.

Shame on @nbc. Y’all sign my checks as of late but I‘m disgusted by my home network giving Trump a platform for fear mongering, bigotry & disinformation. Don’t praise yourselves for putting a trans woman on primetime then give a platform to someone who wants to abolish my rights. Honestly shame on @ABC and @nbc, this echo chamber of rhetoric is a root problem in America. These days leading up to the election should be about the exchange and comparison of ideas and policy, not ratings and stoking division. @realDonaldTrump & @JoeBiden should #debate.
