SCOTUS blocks Texas social media law, Deutsch Bank’s greenwashing scandal and getting employees into the metaverse

Hello, communicators:

The Star Wars franchise has made it clear that it will protect its actors of color from racist attacks following a personal message from Black actress Moses Ingram about the racist backlash she has received regarding her new role in the franchise.

The Verge reports:

On the Monday following this year’s Star Wars Celebration event, Ingram took to her personal Instagram account to share a selection from the “hundreds” of anti-Black, misogynist messages she’s received for portraying a fictional villain who does evil things. Ingram expressed that, while she’s grateful to fans who have the wherewithal to understand that actors are not the characters they play on television, she also admitted to feeling a certain degree of dejection “because there’s nothing anybody can do about this.”

In a tweet, the Star Wars account wrote, “We are proud to welcome Moses Ingram to the Star Wars family…. If anyone intends to make her feel in any way unwelcome, we have only one thing to say: we resist.”

There are more than 20 million sentient species in the Star Wars galaxy, don’t choose to be a racist.
