Rape is not a tool to make a character stronger. A woman doesn’t need to be victimized in order to become a butterfly. The #littlebird was always a Phoenix. Her prevailing strength is solely because of her. And her alone.

Thank you for the loving messages of support you have all shared with me. Last night was an absolute dream ✨
Gucci’d out for Oscar Night 💖✨ Excited to celebrate with all the nominees.
If you don't hire a qualified interviewee because of fear that you'll be tempted to sexually harass her, perhaps you should consider speaking to a mental health expert about impulse control.
😘 Phew! 😷

It’s been over two months since the death of #MahsaAmini. Over two months of nationwide protests in Iran. Over two months of the regime’s violent crackdown, killing women, men and children who are fighting for freedom. Stand with Iran. Use your voice.
Yes. Im sick of the media demanding only women speak up. What about the men? Perhaps many are afraid to look at their own behavior.....
I’ve been asked multiple times by fans, to sign books that I’m not attached to contractually. Because it feels wrong, and like Im taking credit for someone else’s work, I’ll say I cant sign because I’m not doing it. That doesn’t mean I’ve read a bad script.
Everytime someone writes that I play 'strong women' what theyre implying is that most women arent. How about I just play well written parts?

My theory:
Sansa ends up on the Iron Throne
Arya becomes the hand of the Queen
Daenerys kills Jon Snow
Arya kills Daenerys
Tyrion continues to sh💩t the bed
And I miss all of it because I'm traveling. #gameofthrones

When violence against women is used as a plot device to make the characters stronger then we have a problem. It is not empowering to be beaten and raped, yet so many films make it their 'pheonix' moment for women. We don't need abuse in order to be powerful. We already are.
Please go see Michelle's performance in All The Money in The World. She's a brilliant Oscar nominated Golden Globe winning actress. She has been in the industry for 20 yrs. She deserves more than 1% of her male costar' s salary.

I support the people of Ukraine fighting for their freedom
I support the people of Iran fighting for their freedom
They are BOTH important and deserve international support. When doing press it was very clear that no outlet wanted to talk about Iran. Why do you think that is?

#MahsaAmini is an Iranian woman who was beaten to death last week in a “re-education center” for not wearing her hijab correctly.
Her death lead to thousands of Iranians taking to the streets, demanding an end to violence and discrimination against women.
You spelled rapist wrong.
Am I doing this home quarantine thing right...?
It’s binge housewives and never leave the couch kinda weather ✌️
Aaron Sorkin doesn’t have social media so asked me to post this letter on his behalf xx
Ive a small request, instead of labeling a woman as 'emotionally unstable' go deeper. What did she endure that led her to this place? We are the sum of our experiences. This is an industry built on power & dominance. She isn't crazy. Start a conversation & let the healing begin.
I keep imagining Tarantino spitting in Uma's face and strangling her with a chain for KILL BILL. How many images of women in media do we celebrate that showcase abuse? When did this become normalized 'entertainment'?
Interested in seeing the future? This is how 18-25yr voted last night. 🌻
If I could tell that girl who yearly recorded the Tony Awards on her VHS that this would happen, it would have blown my world open. To tell her she’d be living in New York, performing in A Doll’s House, and nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress… It is a dream come true.… Show more
Im very proud of tonight. It was a very uncomfortable debate. When he went low, she went high. #imwithher #debate
I’m one of the lucky ones. I’m aware that my career provides me with a good living, gives me health insurance, helps me take care of my family. There are many members of SAG/AFTRA who are fighting to make a living wage. 87% of my union doesn’t make the 26k a year in order to… Show more
She had been underpaid for so long. When I discovered that , I realized that I could tie her deal to mine to bring up her quote. Men should start doing this with their female costars.
Remember that time when I did a film about a lobbyist in DC and people said that it was too unrealistic/dramatic for US politics? That was a good time.
Hey let us know which of these rules broke. Asking for multiple victims of sexual violence. support.twitter.com/articles/18311

5 strangers told an intoxicated teenager that they would walk her to her car. Instead they took her to another location where they filmed gang raping her. Being motionless with her eyes closed doesn't equate consent. That isn't sexual abuse. It's rape. amp.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr
Can we please eliminate the phrase, "Stop crying. Be a man"?
The old fashioned stereotype doesnt work. Let's cherish the vulnerabilities of men. Their lives depend on it.
121 Americans die by suicide each day, according to the Centers for Disease Control — and 93 of them are men.
The positive element from all this is that we can no longer pretend that we are free of racism & sexism. The question is, what do we do now?

Tonight #AaronSorkin was asked why Molly doesn't have a love interest in and he said, "No one ever asked about Brad Pitt in Moneyball". #micdrop
To all the people that love this film- you're watching a 19yr old get raped by a 48yr old man. The director planned her attack. I feel sick.

Ugh this is such a misleading headline quote! Hey this is what I actually said:
“When there’s more balance on set in terms of more women on the crew, more women in positions of power — it’s just a healthier set to be on. Everyone’s happier. It’s a great place to be.”
No matter how much prep you do, what really matters at the end of the day is who you’re acting opposite of. Being able to react to the brilliant things Andrew Garfield brought to his performance as Jim Bakker was monumental in creating my own.

"Under Spanish law, the lesser offence of sexual abuse differs from rape in that it does not involve violence or intimidation." No intimidation? 5 strangers luring an intoxicated woman to an unknown location is incredibly scary & intimidating. How many women are killed each year?
Ive known Jeremy Strong for 20yrs & worked with him on 2 films. Hes a lovely person. Very inspiring & passionate about his work. The profile that came out on him was incredibly one sided. Don’t believe everything you read folks. Snark sells but maybe its time we move beyond it.
You never read that an actor is known for playing 'strong male' characters because its assumed all men are.

Is this the guy who was RAPING an unconscious girl? Who ran after being discovered by 2 students who chased him down? Who the judge let off easy because he was a good swimmer?
Basically #GretaGerwig made a film about my adolescence in Sacramento & ditching it for college in NY. The first time I watched I was so struck by our parallel lives that I had to watch it immeadiately again. Oh also, I lost my virginity to Dave Matthew's CRASH 🤤

I know how excited many you are about adaptations. Please dont read too much into a video. There is no news about anything. Except that I’m onstage until June 10th. Hope to see you 🤍 #ADollsHouse

I'm also very sad for the MOONLIGHT crew. I wish that they had the full experience of winning best pic without the awkwardness of it all.

Happy Birthday Sebastian Stan! You are a man of many talents, including whatever these dance moves are. Thanks for being my friend❣️
Is this a Samsung thing?!
The shocked emoji is what I put in my tweet and is what I see when I go on my twitter. A friend forwarded me an article that referred to it. The emoji is completely different! Is that what all of you see? Its drooling. Now I look like a pervert...
This little angel is the protector of the Crypt. Who thinks it’s a good idea to hide women & children near dead bodies when fighting The Night King?! He literally raises the dead. Tonight’s going to be rough on me #BattleOfWinterfell
Jennifer Lawrence in #mother! was inspired. Great actors don't play the same energy over and over again. She's more than a movie star, she's a proper actress.
I was warned from the beginning. The stories were everywhere. To deny that is to create an enviornment for it to happen again.
