1/ THE NIGHTMARE IS COLLAPSING. 🚨 Deadline just dropped the bomb: Antitrust regulators have officially signaled they will REJECT the $110B Paramount/WBD merger. The "done deal" was always a lie. 🧵 #WBD #Paramount #Antitrust #NoKings

12/12 Don't let them tell you it's a done deal. Keep the pressure on the DOJ and your state AGs. Hollywood belongs to the storytellers and the fans, not the debt-collectors. End of thread. 🎬🚫🤝

3/5 Why does this matter? Because the "I told you so" still stands. 📣 The window is still open for the DOJ and AG Rob Bonta to "wake up" and block this "pointless" merger before it crushes two historic studios under massive interest rates. 🏛️📉 #Antitrust #Hollywood

1/5 FAKE NEWS ALERT: 🚨 Reports from Ad Hoc News claiming WBD shareholders voted to approve the Paramount merger yesterday are FALSE. I have the receipts. The SEC filing (d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net...) is a proxy statement, NOT a vote result. #WBD #Paramount #FakeNews

Post 1/5 The fight isn't over! 🚨 The WBD shareholder meeting may be postponed, but Paramount’s $110B debt-fueled takeover is still a ticking time bomb for the industry. We have a window to stop the consolidation of our stories into one giant, debt-ridden vault. #StopTheMerger #SaveParamount #WBD

UPDATE: I've just sent my letter to @robbonta.bsky.social via Gmail and Action Network .com. I encourage all of you to take action and fight to #StopTheMerger between Paramount and Warner Bros. from happening. #SaveWB, #StopParamount, #StopSkydance, #BlockTheMerger.

@termiteterraceclub.bsky.social, @ericfinalfantasy.bsky.social, I've made a 6 page complaint letter to #BlockTheMerger between PSKY and WBD. I already know to email it to @robbonta.bsky.social, but who else should I email it to? #SaveWB #StopParamount #StopSkydance #StopTheMerger.

🚨 The $111B Paramount/WBD "megamerger" just hit a brick wall. The DOJ officially confirmed they will NOT fast-track the review. "Time kills all deals," and for a company drowning in $79B of debt, this delay is a death sentence. 🧵 #Media #Paramount #WBD #Antitrust

DOJ & CA AG Rob Bonta: Pull the plug. 🛑 Between WGA/SAG-AFTRA warnings and the risk of financial collapse, this deal is "presumptively illegal." ACT NOW: Submit an antitrust complaint to the DOJ before the March 20 vote: justice.gov/atr/contact/new-antitrust-complaint 🚫🎬 #Antitrust #MediaMonopoly

#SaveWB by cancelling Paramount+ and sadly HBO Max for the time being. You can continue to support physical media because that is second priority to these companies when they bet big on streaming. Thrift stores and libraries have used DVDs and Blu-Rays you can get.

#StPatrick'sDay, #4LeafClover, #CartoonOCs

Post 5/5 If you live in a state with a major film industry, contact your AG today. Tell them the Paramount-WBD deal will lead to less competition, higher prices, and massive local job losses. Find your AG here: www.naag.org #ParamountWBD #DCU #StarTrek #LaborRights

🚨 The fight for the First Amendment is hitting Hollywood. Jane Fonda, Pedro Pascal, and Viola Davis are leading a massive push to block the $110B Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger. Here’s why this isn't just "business as usual." 🧵

He’ll be removed from office, if not the entire merger being halted by everyone in the industry.

Stop the merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery. #SaveWB #BoycottParamount #StoptheMerger #BlocktheWBParamountMerger

The Call to Action Don't let the credits roll on a competitive Hollywood. Stand with the CA DOJ. Tell your reps: No more "too big to fail" media giants. Sign the petition here: oag.ca.gov/news/press-r... Stop the merger. Save the industry. 🎬🚫

The Worker Impact Consolidation = Job Cuts. We’ve already seen thousands of layoffs in streaming. Merging these giants doesn't create better movies; it creates "synergies"—which is corporate speak for firing crew, writers, and staff. California's creative economy can't afford this. 📉

The Consumer Cost Less competition = higher sub fees. WBD and Paramount already hiked prices this year. If they become one monster entity, your monthly streaming bill goes up while your choices go down. We’re paying more for a library that’s being shrunk for tax write-offs.

While the world watches the #Oscars, a $111B disaster is brewing backstage. @AGRobBonta is the last line of defense against the Paramount/Warner Bros. Discovery merger. If this goes through, the Hollywood we love is dead. Here’s why we have to block it. 🧵 #NoParamountWBD

Can’t make it to Hollywood? ✅ Use the hashtag #StopTheMerger ✅ Tag @DOJ and @AGRobBonta ✅ Share this thread to wake up the feed! Let’s show them that California’s creative community won't be silenced. 🦋✊ act.freepress.net/sign/block-p....

btw If you happen to know any Warner Bros shareholders, tell them to vote no on the merger on March 20th

We need to talk about Trump angling to capture Hollywood and control its movie-making machine. That's why we're is driving a billboard around LA this weekend showing Trump pulling the strings behind the massive media merger. @jgo4justice.bsky.social, @rlivier.bsky.social report from Dolby Theater:

🔗 Submit your comment here: regulations.gov Help spread the word! Use the hashtag #StopTheMerger and tag @ericfinalfantasy.bsky.social to join the push! 🦋🎬

Josh D’Amaro and Dana Walden, please consider hiring Leonard Maltin and Jessie Maltin for an active role of restoring and presenting the classic Walt Disney and 20th Century studio catalog for streaming and physical media. There’s still a market. @ryantreasures.bsky.social @jameskgunn.bsky.social

If you care about: ❌ Streaming price hikes ❌ Animation & film "vaulting" for tax write-offs ❌ Massive layoffs at CBS/CNN/Studios ACT NOW. Regulators need to hear from US, not just corporate lobbyists.

🚨 URGENT: The DOJ Merger Investigation is CLOSING! 🚨 The deadline to submit public comments on the Paramount-WBD merger (Docket ATR-2026-0001) is April 24th.

Producers: have you submitted your testimony to block the WBD/Paramount merger yet? Do it! To save artistry, originality & diversity in storytelling... blockthemerger.com#share-your-s...

✍️ ACTION STEPS: 1️⃣ Sign the @CommonCause petition: act.commoncause.org/petitions/st... 2️⃣ Demand the DOJ Antitrust Div & Jonathan Kanter block the deal! This is a recipe for a media monopoly. 📺📉 #StopTheMerger #SaveHollywood #LaborRights #MediaReform

This should concern you all. If the merger gets finalized, your subscription prices will go up. Your cable prices will go up. It will be hard to find transparent news. Original ideas like “Sinners” can’t get made anymore in favor of safe bets. #SaveWB #BoycottParamount

On Sunday stars will take to the red carpet for the 98th Academy Awards in front of a backdrop of fascism, war & White House corruption. Free Press' @jgo4justice.bsky.social shares more as our mobile billboard runs around Hollywood this weekend on Pressing Issues: pressingissues.org/hollywoods-b...

The animation community knows how this ends. We've seen WBD "vault" finished films for tax write-offs before. Imagine that at 2x the scale. Spongebob, Looney Tunes, DC... nothing is safe from a company drowning in interest payments. 🎞️🔥

The Debt Trap 🪤: A combined entity would carry a staggering $80B–$90B in debt. Wall Street has already spoken: Paramount is now "Junk" status (BB+). Do you want your WBD dividends and growth choked out by interest payments for the next decade? #Finance #Stocks

URGENT CALL TO ACTION: WBD SHAREHOLDERS 🚨 The Post: To every Warner Bros. Discovery (#$WBD) shareholder voting on March 20: You are walking into a trap. 🪤

The Paramount-WBD merger isn't just a deal; it’s a $111B debt bomb. 💣 Ellison is chasing $6B in "synergies"—corporate speak for a bloodbath. We’re looking at 15k+ layoffs, gutted newsrooms (CNN/CBS), and the death of animation (Nick/CN). This makes Disney-Fox look like a minor tweak.

So bizarre thing happened recently, a bunch of concept art went for auction for what would have been a new Oswald the Lucky Rabbit show produced by Universal back in the early 90s (this was before Disney got the rights back to the character). bid.vegalleries.com/An-Oswald-th... THREAD

www.regulations.gov/docket/ATR-2... This is where you can express your concerns at how mega mergers and consolidation promote layoffs, eliminate risks and competition, ignore diversification and promote high prices.

Keep it up. More unions standing up means more backlash. #SaveWB

The Map: 🔹 WBD Debt: $43B 🔹 Paramount Debt: $14.6B 🔹 New Merger Loans: $22B+ @iatse @teamsters @newsguild: This isn't "synergy"—it's a liquidation plan to pay the banks. 🛑

🚨 THE CHAOS MAP: Why the #ParamountWBD Merger is a Suicide Pact 💣 David Ellison is buying a $79.6 BILLION Debt Volcano. 🌋 At Junk Status (BB+), the interest alone is a $1.5B+ annual tax on creativity. 📉

🚨 STOP THE MEGA-MERGER: Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery are trying to consolidate into one massive media titan. We’ve seen this movie before (AOL/Time Warner, AT&T/WB) and it always ends in mass layoffs, cancelled projects, and higher sub prices. It’s time to act. 🧵 #StopTheMerger #Antitrust

This got interesting. #SaveWB

@mrcoat.bsky.social made a video about WB's history with mergers, and he brings up a very good point. Instead of selling the studio to one company after another, WB needs to have its own Michael Eisner and Frank Wells, creative forces who can push the brand to be a true Hollywood powerhouse. #SaveWB
