Last month..artists.. signed a petition pledging to not work w/ Israeli ... Boldface signees included John Cusack, Joaquin Phoenix and director Ava DuVernay. This week, those three have simply shared videos criticizing Trump and the peace plan. I expected a huge celebration from Stalter’s “Hacks” co-star Hannah Einbinder, who literally wore an “Artists4Ceasefire” pin to the Emmys and used her win to scream: “Free Palestine and f–k ICE.” After this week’s news, she initially posted a video of her decrying Zionisim as a betrayal of Judaism and a sad meme about the Eagles losing to the Giants.

Maybe Nixon’s offspring had the misfortune of seeing the actress in bed with Rosie O”Donnell in...

Instead, use an alternative like companion, friend or lover on first reference and provide additional details later,” the tweet read.
