Big news…More animation writers have been organized! #wgae #unionnow

Statement from @wgaeast.bsky.social @wgawest.bsky.social Fact: on July 15, Stephen Colbert called the 60 Minutes settlement a “big fat bribe” to bag the Paramount-Skydance merger. Fact: on July 17, Paramount canceled the Colbert Show. We call on NYS AG Letitia James to investigate.

A comment Cuomo made nearly two decades ago came back to haunt him during tonight's NYC mayoral debate. “In 2008, Andrew Cuomo said that no candidate should ‘shuck or jive’ in an election,” said opponent Michael Blake. “Clearly, Barack Obama was there.”

here's the clip

Yes!!! Ranking Michael Blake#1 ! @blakefornyc.bsky.social

The people who feel unsafe are young women, mothers, and grandmothers around Andrew Cuomo. New York deserves leadership that makes women feel safe, not silenced.

Vote for Michael Blake, Rank Michael Blake! #blakefornyc

Former Assemblyman Michael Blake: The only New Yorkers who feel unsafe are women around Andrew Cuomo.

NYC Mayoral candidate Michael Blake @blakefornyc.bsky.social is not afraid to confront Andrew Cuomo and he is the only candidate fierce enough and experienced enough to take on the president. #nymayor #blakefornyc

The fearless and fierce @blakefornyc.bsky.social Michael Blake just took on Andrew Cuomo over his sexual harassment history and of course Cuomo tried changing the subject #NYMayor #blakefornyc

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Scott Walker is on CNN. In case you’re wondering, he’s still a liar.

Looking at Scott Walker’s VERY black hair on CNN reminds me that I need more shoe polish. #DNC #voteblue

Wisconsin!!!

🚨 PSA for Wisconsin 🚨 Early voting has started for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Get out and vote for Democrat Susan Crawford! Abortion, public sector unions, voting rules, and congressional district boundaries are on the line.

Friends! Take action and tell @msnbc not to treat their hard-working employees like this! #unionbusting #msnbc #WGAE #blue

You have to hand it to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, he knows exactly how to handle Trump. The US President responds to shiny objects, and to things that move. Watch Trump transform here, from apathetic boredom, to awe; and how he warms to the idea of keeping the shiny, moving thing.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

Hahahahah! Boston, consider yourself “reimagined”!

lotta people trying very very hard to win the 2024 election instead of adapting to the rapidly shifting environment

These layoffs are union busting. It’s a disgrace.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

Democrats need to be united in the struggle for Democracy. @algreen.house.gov’s censure should not have had any Dem votes. Do better— @bera.house.gov @jahimes.bsky.social @houlahan.house.gov @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social @repmoskowitz.bsky.social @gluesenkampperez.house.gov @tomsuozzi.bsky.social

This can NOT happen! Imagine what they would do with our vote-by-mail ballots. #postalservice #dnc

Even in the most difficult times, music helps the soul, so here’s a bit of Michael Shannon & @jasonnarducy.bsky.social beautiful, haunting version of R.E.M.’s So. Central Rain from the 40 Watt Club last week. #REM #dnc @michaelstipe.bsky.social @bertisdowns.bsky.social @millsish.bsky.social

I'm running for mayor to rebuild trust and deliver results, affordable housing, economic fairness, and safer communities. I’ve fought for these my whole career, from Obama’s White House to Albany. A big deadline is coming up, can you chip in $25? https://secure.actblue.com/donate/blakefornycmayor

Join us at 7pm on Friday, March 7th for a Party and Performance with Leslie Odom, Jr.! https://blakefornyc.com/leslieodomjrmarch7/

When you can’t lead you hide! When you cant defend, you hide. When we show up, the politicians who aren’t going to listen hide. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security. What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices. Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

The national update and call to action hosted by DNC Chair Ken Martin and Leader Hakeem Jeffries on YouTube was a great success tonight. The DNC should do an update show every night. #Democrats

Here is a summary and link to a recording of the first #DNC update and call to action zoom from @kenmartin.bsky.social and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social which happened earlier tonight. #democrats

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Rep. Williams has the strongest and clearest response to the DOGE phishing attack:

Roy Wood Jr. is hilarious, brilliant and an absolute joy to work with. Thank you for hosting our awards again, Roy! #wgaawards #wgae

“You guys are always disrupting the industry [...] You even give out the screenplay awards at the beginning of the night!” Massive congratulations to our Adapted & Original Screenplay winners, RaMell Ross & Joslyn Barnes (NICKEL BOYS) and Sean Baker (ANORA)! #WritersGuildAwards

“In our very hands we hold a weapon to fight the chaos and the cruelty of our world right now. [...] So pencils up, my friends.” - WGAE President Lisa Takeuchi Cullen #WritersGuildAwards

"I know we're all basically the same Guild but [...] we're Delta House here in the East to their Omega's out West. We're leaner, meaner, and a helluva lot more fun" says WGAE's Ian McLellan Hunter Award for Career Achievement honoree Scott Frank.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

"You have a mayor who is making it abundantly clear that he is willing to do anything that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are asking in exchange for keeping himself out of jail." @blakefornyc.bsky.social told @DeanObeidallah about the ICE Raids happening in NYC.

TUESDAY (TOMORROW)! Join us for a rally for federal workers! Federal workers proudly care for our veterans, send our Social Security checks, and keep our communities safe, and we'll fight to protect them. 🗓️ Tuesday, Feb 11 🕛 12-1 PM 📍 Upper Senate Park

Every minute that Elon Musk and his DOGE have access to Department of Labor data, our nation’s workers, their privacy, and the integrity of DOL’s mission are at risk. Today’s ruling is only a setback – not a defeat. aflcio.org/press/releas...

A security guard blocks Democratic members of Congress from entering the Department of Education. Unacceptable.

Yes, we can! Unionizing your workplace is a great way to resist the oligarchy! #1u

Wow—Georgia Rep. Buddy Carter is on CNN right now lying about #DOGE. His statements contradict one other and he’s being factchecked in real time. This puppet can’t get his story straight.

Emergency rally today at 2:30 PM: Save the Environmental Protection Agency www.mobilize.us/climateactio... @actonclimateus.bsky.social @gnd-network.bsky.social @getfree-mvmt.bsky.social @markey.senate.gov #EPA #resist #usprotests 🥄🥄 #forkoff

Labor needs to rise to the moment and needs to do so now and with increasing numbers, militancy and focus.
