Twin Cities based actor. 2016 elections activated me on Twitter. Went there to listen to/amplify the heart of the Democratic Party, Black Women. Guess this is the next evolution. (He/Him/His) www.EricLeeActs.com

1) If you are outside the United States and you desire to weaken our power and influence, there is a simple calculus to it.

FBR and MSNBC really did a number on a lot of white liberals. Like, the people who thought Avenatti was going to be the one.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵
Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Kamala Harris: "I think he has a vengeance campaign, which is really exposing the petty nature of who he is and his deep level of insecurity."

Also, i’m pretty booked for a little while because of my next project. So if you’re in the mood for some live theatre, i’m in the ensemble for “Kiss of the Spider Woman,”(yes, that’s the musical J Lo’s in that just opened). I’ll be doing a bit of the old song and dance! teatrodelpueblo.org

This isn’t the behavior of someone who is tap dancing for votes. IF she runs again, she’s going to have all the white people turning red in the face, clutching their pearls and taking to the fainting couches. Especially Democratic strategists, consultants and pundunces.

It’s not about policy, right or left. It’s not about messaging, outside of learning to identify where the criticisms are originating, and who is using them and how to manipulate our electorate to achieve maximum chaos.

I’m interested in something you say there. Both about “both sides lost their minds in completely different ways,” and “How much of the ire was ginned up to keep people home?” The connection here being that we have STILL not come to terms with what was actually done to influence the 2016 election.

I am so very curious what a campaign on her terms would look like. I still hope we get to see it. But of course that’s all up to her.

And things are really tough for a music venue right now. People aren’t drinking like they used to and that was where the money came from. The Cities’ venues are constantly in danger it sounds like.

Oh no, I’m not saying that it can or should only sustain a McDonalds at all! I just hope that the vision is a little more inclusive than it sounds. Not saying there shouldn’t be room for those things, BUT that it can ALSO remain accessible and inclusive.

Nope, I’m an Iowa boy originally. Grew up in Des Moines. Been acting since I was a kid, and went to school for theatre. Lived in Chicago for about 6 years, did LA for a year, then was with a theatre company in SE Minnesota for about 5 years before I missed a city too much and came here.

But looking at these things, and being settled in Saint Paul for the foreseeable future, I’m excited to start getting more involved in the local political scene. It really is where I think we can do the most immediate good.

And coming to a new place older than I was going to other cities, I have very different opinions of what I’d even want in a city than I did when I was younger, coming to a city as an artist.

Much like you and your view of Saint Paul, I don’t think I’m positioned to have an informed opinion. I know what I came to the Twin Cities thinking about Minneapolis. And as always I’m learning that things are not quite what is portrayed.
