Ellise Shafer Comedian Dom Joly dressed as Mickey Mouse on Monday morning to lead a protest outside the U.K. Parliament against the government’s Illegal Migration Bill. According to the government, the proposed law would make it so “those who arrive in the U.K. illegally will not be able to stay here and will instead be detained and then promptly removed, either to their home country or a safe third country.” Joly, who is an ambassador for the charity Save the Children, has concerns about how the bill could affect child refugees. According to The Guardian, earlier this month immigration minister Robert Jenrick had murals of Mickey Mouse and other cartoons painted over at an asylum center in Kent — hence why Joly came dressed as the iconic Disney mascot.

Having recently visited Ukraine, Joly has seen firsthand the devastation of the war and the reason for families fleeing. “I’d say whatever your views on immigration, children are innocent, children have not chosen to be in this situation, children have not got views on this,” Joly said.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron and Angel Studios have joined forces to quell a boycott against the exhibition chain over the release of “Sound of Freedom.” Social media users have accused AMC of purposely disrupting “Sound of Freedom” screenings following accusations that the hit movie stokes QAnon conspiracy theories (Rolling Stone, for instance, slammed “Sound of Freedom” as a “QAnon-tinged thriller”). Claims include AMC canceling screenings and disrupting showtimes with technical difficulties and broken air conditioning. “Sadly, conspiracy theorists are so prevalent in America. So much garbage information is spread,” Aron wrote on Twitter. “More than ONE MILLION people have watched ‘Sound of Freedom’ at AMC Theatres. More than at any other theatre chain on the planet. Yet people falsely claim otherwise. It is so bizarre.”
