Industry pros, entertainers and civilians assembled by the hundreds today for United Talent Agency’s “United Voices” rally outside the company’s Beverly Hills headquarters.

Among the featured speakers at the event protesting Trump administration immigration policies was Oscar-winner Jodie Foster, who told the crowd that “it’s time to engage.”

“As the very, very dead Frederick Douglass one said, ‘Anytime is a good time for illumination,'” Foster said. “And this is the time for illumination. I believe this time is filled with light.”

UTA canceled its annual Oscars bash and organized the event after Donald Trump issued an executive order temporarily banning immigration from several majority-Muslim nations. The ban was repeatedly halted by Federal courts and the administration eventually abandoned it. Trump is expected to unveil another executive order on immigration some time next week.

Among those present were Rodrigo Moran and Meron Semedar from the advocacy group Refugee Nation. The duo were invited to attend by UTA, and carried with them a large orange flag designed by a Syrian refugee named Yara Said. Said, said Moran, based the flag on the life vest she wore while escaping from the war-torn Middle Eastern nation.


“I’m here to hopefully lend some credence to the notion that Donald Trump doesn’t represent all of America,” said commercial photographer August Gering. “Hopefully, the majority of this country strongly disagrees with the things he’s trying to do, and we won’t stand for it.”

“Outlander” star Sam Heughan was also on hand, telling TheWrap. “We’re just here, not to bash anyone.” Europe, he said, wants “the best for this glorious country. America’s such a great country, we look up to you guys and we know you’ll do the right thing.”

By its conclusion, an estimated two thousand people attended the event, according to Beverly Hills PD.

RE: ‘It’s Time to Engage’

Yeah, she got engaged alright...

Will these leftwing kooks expect the other side to civilly accept their candidate winning the next time? Are they not afraid they're setting a new standard by their refusal to accept the results of a legal election?

Jodie is a smart gal and I've always liked her but all this is beginning to get on my nerves.

[Wingnut]

It's Crazy season in Hollywood. The self aggrandizing circle jerk they call the Oscars is coming soon. Speechifying and Trump Hate will be on display.

Maybe she's trying to send a signal to Hinckley, now that he's out of jail.

They still think they matter.

It's kinda cute when you think about it.

I am so sick of liberals/leftists.  So very sick.

Will this real-life nightmare ever end?  They haunt my dreams....except that....

instead of roving hoards of badly dressed zombies....

it's screeching hoards of designer-dressed, blank-staring and blank-minded liberals.

If only they would all blindly march over that cliff, arms locked together in sweet solidarity....

(I can dream, can't I?)

I think it is already happening. Obomber was an aberration. If he hadn't been half-black,a Muslim,and pumped up as the smartest Knee-grow in all of history,he would have never been elected. To put it bluntly,if it weren't for black racism he would be an assistant manager at a car wash in Chicago.

Put aside black racism/black solidarity gainst de white debbils,no American leftist has been elected as president since Jim-mah Cawtur.

And what is the left's response to wide-spread public rejection of their leftist policies that was so deep and  heart-felt that they voted for a narcissistic sociopath businessman that had never even been elected Prom King before instead of voting for Bubbette! Clinton? They doubled-down and went from left to hard-left.

Ah, but don't discount the left's masterful use of ""gimmicks"" to win elections.  No, not just talking about voter/election fraud.  They are experts at ginning up support for the "this" vote or the "other" vote (blacks, women, gays, etc.).  And they have an unlimited supply of cash (like from aholes like Soros) with whcih to work their black magic.

Also, never ever underestimate your opponents....the American leftists.
