Rosie ODonnell, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney are part of a group of celebrities calling for a total Hollywood strike until Trump resigns.
A group of liberal Hollywood celebrities are threatening a massive, all-round Hollywood strike unless Donald Trump resigns. Describing Hollywood as the base of the entire modern American culture, the group also claims to be speaking on behalf of all of humanity.
Its about time people understood that were the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around, a spokesperson for the group told The New York Times.
Were calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops.
Spinzon reports: Rosie ODonnell, Debra Messing, Ed Asner and Michael Shannon are among the dozens of artists, entertainers, and activists who have attached their names to an effort calling for a month-long protest to stop President-elect Donald Trump.
No! In the Name of Humanity We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America! reads a full-page ad placed in the New York Times on Wednesday by the group Refuse Racism. Donald Trump, the President-elect, is assembling a regime of grave danger, the ad says.
Millions of people in the US and around the world are filled with deep anxiety, fear and disgust. Our anguish is right and just. Our anger must now become massive resistance before Donald Trump is inaugurated and has the full reins of power in his hands.
Other Hollywood celebrities who have also joined the campaign, however, are calling for an all-out strike that would span the entire movie industry in the hopes that such a move would urge the President-elect to resign from his position as the newly elected President of the United States.

The other stories on the site seem legit.
Celebs are self delusional high school grads surrounded by suck ups and most are heavily medicated.
They just might be this delusional.
I want further verification though.
Bye, Bye. I don’t think all of them are that delusional. The patriots, though few, don’t have to make movies in la la land. Movies started in Vermont and Florida. There is a Hollywood in Florida. Calexit!
Notice, they never threaten to move to Mexico or any other Latin American third world country.
These vastly overpaid, mentally unstable Hollywood stars volunteer to refuse all new paid work?
Gee, that would be terrible.
It would open up opportunities to promising new actors.
3 million scabs will cross the picket lines
“Rosie ODonnell, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney”
A bunch of E-list nobodies?
Ooooooooh please DO IT!
Oh hell yeah please do it!!!!!!!!!
Funny thing about liberals, to teach mommy a lesson they destroy their own yoys.
These phucking morons really have no clue about anything whatsoever.
They’re arrogant enough to think that humanity revolves around them and their bull$hit.
I thought these idiots we’re leaving the country. Wouldn’t miss em now. Wouldn’t miss em then.
Maybe they could get all the drive by to join in!! La-de-da!
Tree/Forest/Nobody cares
There’s bound to be an old Jimmy Stewart movie on TV...
I think it has already started. Looked at the movies playing this week and they are all so bad.
Well, thinking more about it, it would indeed be a serious blow to socially essential movies...Brokeback Mountain, etc.
Promises, promises...
Between YouTube and DailyMotion and torrents....
You could nuke Hollywood and still not run out of better content than what they are barfing out.
Didn’t most of the Hollywood elite promise to move to Canada if Trump were elected?
That didn’t happen, and neither will this.
Hey Hollywood morons:
Maybe you should have checked on Chinese labor laws before whoring yourselves out to your new Chinese owners.
Strikes are most certainly not permitted! Eat your rice and get back to work!
Back in the day when Britain (and to an extent, America) had recognized "social classes", associating with "theater people" was considered beneath the genteel person wishing to remain respectable.
As of these days, it's not hard to see why the old wisdom went that way.
