She earned the nickname \u201cHanoi Jane\u201d following a visit to North Vietnam in 1972, though she would later express regret for \u200ba photo of her sitting on an anti-aircraft gun, wearing a helmet.<\/div>\n<div>In recent years, the Oscar-winning actor has been involved in climate activism and has been \u200carrested multiple \u2060times in connection with her &#8220;Fire Drill Fridays&#8221; protests in Washington, D.C. A new documentary, \u201cGaslit,\u201d which premieres on Friday, follows Fonda on a road trip through Texas and Louisiana to expose the environmental and health impacts of oil and gas extraction.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhole communities have been razed because we insist on drilling for oil and fracked methane gas that we&#8217;re shipping around the world, that is killing people and nature and animals, and it&#8217;s got \u200bto stop,\u201d said Fonda, who blames \u200bthe Trump administration for weakening \u2060environmental regulations.<\/div>\n<h2>PARAMOUNT-WARNER BROS DEAL CRITICIZED<\/h2>\n<div>Fonda has also called on federal and state regulators to block the proposed $110 billion merger of Paramount Skydance (PSKY.O)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> and Warner Bros Discovery (WBD.O)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span>. Fonda said that though she personally likes Paramount Skydance CEO David \u200bEllison, she is concerned about concessions he made to the Federal Communications Commission to win approval of \u200bSkydance\u2019s acquisition of Paramount.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe \u2060lifeblood of creativity is going out the window in order to satisfy these autocrats in the White House,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n<div>Ellison has said the combined Paramount-Warner Bros Discovery would invest in quality content, releasing 30 movies a year, something that will benefit Hollywood&#8217;s creative class.<\/div>\n<div>In October, Fonda revived the Committee for \u2060the First \u200bAmendment in response to a perceived rise in authoritarian practices and attacks on free \u200bspeech. It was a group her father, actor Henry Fonda, formed in 1947 when Hollywood figures were called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;We are the storytellers, we \u200bare the artists,&#8221; Fonda said. &#8220;Without the First Amendment, we can&#8217;t exist.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1763\">Trump\u2019s grand sporting season begins with UFC fights on White House lawn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1761\">Evangelicals divided on Trump\u2019s war in Iran, immigration crackdown, Reuters\/Ipsos poll finds<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1757\">Trump\u2019s allies have another way to pay \u2018weaponization\u2019 victims<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mixed martial arts fighters gather on \u200bSunday on the South Lawn of the White House in a cage match to celebrate President Donald Trump\u2019s 80th birthday \u2014 \u200ca spectacle kicking off a series of events commemorating the nation&#8217;s 250th anniversary \u2014 actor and activist Jane Fonda will sponsor entertainment of a different sort from New York City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[12,96],"class_list":["post-1765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-human-rights","tag-lifestyle"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
