There isn't a red-blue divide on abortion. Conservatives have always sought abortions and always will while protesting them. Often at the very clinics they march at. They just don't want any of us poors to have the same freedom to better our lives that they do.

My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces- and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views. Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA. She strongly supported my health care work at @ONECampaign & @RED which he opposes.

The next steps will be for the WGA to complete the “Memorandum of Agreement” with the AMPTP and then have the negotiating committee vote on sending it to the WGA West and East boards for approval. trib.al/oWFzFcW

Fun fact: in France, Netflix already reports their viewership to writers monthly and pays writers based on that viewership, because it’s the law there. They literally already have this system in place.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos is reportedly concerned that if they give a fair deal to writers & actors in the U.S. that it will set a precedent for writers/actors in other territories to ask for fair deals. (Source: allyourscreens.com/en/compon…)

The Schadenfreude is good, but America would be better off if our politicians weren't Mob associates and the media weren't mostly professional assclowns. This Republic is worth more. Democracy needs better. Let's lock these scumbags up, and get back to work.

Ken Chesebro, the Trump co-defendant who asked for a speedy trial, thought he was calling Willis' bluff on her readiness to go to trial. He was not. Willis is not here to play.
NEW: Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis asks court to commence trial for all 19 defendants on OCTOBER 23, 2023.

Respect strikes, y’all. Unfortunately- I inadvertently stepped over one with an interview and I feel really awful. I’m really sorry. I support those trying to organize at the Post-Gazette and would never have agreed if I had realized.

I keep hearing a rumor about a strike resolution coming soon and I would just like to remind everyone — it could very easily be an AMPTP plant to make a WGA counter to their proposals look unreasonable. Until you hear it from the WGA, ignore it. – at Los Angeles, CA

Sorry, let me see if I understand this: y'all thought video of Pres. Biden sharing an ice cream sandwich break with American workers after a successful speech on economic development would come across poorly?

The fact that Bob Iger gave an anti-labor interview while he is reportedly having a 2nd yacht constructed to replace his 184 foot super yacht might be the most on brand CEO shit of the year.

Translation: We floated a trial balloon in the trades on the eve of the SAG-AFTRA deadline hoping to intimidate those workers on strike and those who may join them. We used savage, cynical terms to describe the poverty we intend for them. It played poorly. Now we have regrets.
UPDATED: “These anonymous people are not speaking on behalf of the AMPTP or member companies, who are committed to reaching a deal and getting our industry back to work,” a spokesperson for the organization says deadline.com/2023/07/writers…

Emanuel is an aspiring luthier (string instrument maker) from Atlanta who was accepted to attend the Chicago School of Violin Making. Unfortunately, the GoFundMe for his tuition has gotten basically no traction. Can we help him out? gofundme.com/f/help-emanuel-…
