Sinclair and Nexstar caved, allowing Kimmel’s show to return. Bless everyone who pushed back!

The two bravest groups or writers right now: 1) Late-night 2) PBS We represent both at @wgaeast.bsky.social

Sinclair folds. Nexstar still holding out. If you’re in a Nexstar (ABC) market, watch their local news broadcast, take note of the advertisers and call them!

do companies like disney and home depot know theyre allowed to fund oppositional media to push back against the lunatics in power intentionally destroying their businesses?

I keep thinking of John Oliver’s 4 word response to a bully: Fuck you. Make me.

Why are women working less and earning less, even though the industries they traditionally work in are growing? @kedseconomist.com explains 🎥

New Jersey PBS, the state’s only public television station, will shutter next year after suffering “very significant” budget cuts implemented by the Trump administration, the company announced

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.” - Edward R. Murrow

“It’s not just comedy, he’s gunning for our journalists too. They want to pick and choose what the news is. I know that’s not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, but it’s so important to have a free press and it is nuts that we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

Keep standing up to Trump’s ongoing attacks on the First Amendment. Keep pressuring media outlets and corporations to protect the free press. Collectively, WE have power. Giving in to tyranny only invites more of it.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

If there's an WGAW Members on here, please remember that voting for new Board members end today at 12PM PST. And like Michele Mulroney said, it's one of the easiest and most impactful ways to participate in our union democracy.

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

Hours after we sent a letter signed by over 450 artists and 40K others defending free speech, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel will return to air. Other companies should heed this warning: We the people are watching.

Amid the maelstrom over Jimmy Kimmel, here’s a key point made by @adamconover.net @joshgondelman.bsky.social: LOTS of people watch late-night. It’s just that they watch it in clips on Youtube or Tiktok — and studios haven't figured out how to monetize that. theankler.com/p/hour-to-ho...

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

With Rosh Hashanah beginning at sundown, America’s unions wish our Jewish union siblings a good and sweet new year. Shana Tova!

“ABC just revealed that Jimmy Kimmel Live! is returning on Tuesday night after ‘thoughtful conversations’ with parent company Disney.” 👏 deadline.com/2025/09/jimm...

OLIVER: “I’d argue @disney & Bob Iger need to stand by @jimmykimmel and his staff — history is also going to remember the cowards who knew better. Giving the bully your lunch money doesn’t make him go away, it just makes him come back hungrier each time.” 🎯

“We cannot normalize these kinds of acts. These must be the basis upon which we act.” deadline.com/2025/09/jimm...

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

“We live in a big, complicated, raucous, diverse nation. I believe it is what makes us exceptional."

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject. Gift link:

There goes the First Amendment.
