Reminder: when the AMPTP tries to divide us, THIS is who we are. Fighting for the future of our industry & for those most at risk & lacking equity. Demanding storytelling reflective of the complexity of this country. Proud to stand w/ these women & @wgastrikeunite. #WGAStrong
Remember the #WGAStrike is so much bigger than any 1 of us. As @Lynnbrooklyn warns, “We are at an inflection point & if we don’t stop these practices, who knows where we’ll be in 10 & 15 yrs… I think we won’t have an industry.” Or any shot at equity. Https://youtu.be/Wp7v0PHahrU…

Three beluga whales recently died at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium. It speaks to a larger issue — animals in captivity can’t get what they need to thrive. @KennyTorrella explains how the conditions can be “torturous” for highly intelligent and social beluga whales. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/FdWpH…

This data center could use 11 times the power of the closest major airport, yet a city spokesperson claims it doesn't even warrant a neighborhood meeting for residents to give their input. Make it make sense! capitalandmain.com/colorados…

Jon Ossoff: “There is no reason in the richest country on Earth that any American should fear if they get sick they won’t be able to afford healthcare, that they will face medical debt, bankruptcy, foreclosure, economic ruin. We have to resources to make sure every single American can get the care they need”

VICTORY 🎉
Sierra Club sued the Trump administration for illegally keeping an old, expensive coal plant from retiring, and WON.
While Donald Trump is padding profits for fossil fuel companies, we are fighting for lower bills, cleaner air, and better health outcomes.
The DOE stepped outside its legal authority when it ordered a Michigan coal plant to stay open, a court ruled.

Just a random reminder that it's a moral outrage we're the only industrialized country without paid family and medical leave.

In the United States of America, billionaire stadium owners should not be able to silence artists because they speak out on political issues.
Today it is the genocide in Gaza. What's next?
If they can silence one artist, they can silence anyone.

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare.
The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and other for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.
It would also close state-level loopholes that private equity firms have snuck through, prohibit corporate interference with clinical decisions, and more.

James Talarico: “I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7am. I wish our government would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools. I wish our government would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East”

Katie Phang delivered a fiery sign-off on today’s episode of Sidebar with Katie Phang as she sounded the alarm about the stakes of the November midterms.
“I don’t want any of you to ever think that we can’t get through this. But I want us to thrive, not just survive.”
“The stakes have never been higher,” Phang said. “We are 49 days away from the November midterms. Are you registered to vote? Check it. Do you know where you need to go? Make sure you’re doing it.”
“Don’t let anybody tell you it’s not worth it. And don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t get out and vote.”
Phang closed: “Every day we are given the choice to be on the right side of history, and every day we should make that choice the right way.”

Hiro Murai ("Widow's Bay") has made #Emmys history as the first Asian director to win the prize for outstanding directing for a comedy series.

"Dippold sees the show’s breakout success this way: 'I will say this, the show really goes for it...I’m relieved that this big swing hasn’t led to absolute humiliation. But I also think you have to risk humiliation to make something people like.'" That last part though!
#WidowsBay is like nothing else on TV — and everyone from Guillermo del Toro to Jonathan Bailey is taking notice.
Creator Katie Dippold says “I'm relieved that this big swing hasn't led to absolute humiliation.”
The original pilot for 'Widow’s Bay' was written by Dippold nearly 20 years ago as a spec submission for 'Parks and Recreation,' the beloved NBC sitcom which she went on to write for over three seasons. Years later, she started pitching it out.
Here we are in 2026, and the debut season of 'Widow’s Bay' has emerged as something of a word-of-mouth phenomenon on Apple TV, blending layered comedy with honest-to-God jumpscares.
Guillermo Del Toro recently posted that it “may very well be the best streaming series in a long time… and hands down one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in horror.” Ben Stiller has dubbed it “excellent.” Jonathan Bailey called it “incredible top-tier television.” The New York Times just named it the best new show of the year.

#EmmysSoWhite: Can all this change? Is this the new normal? When will we not see nights like this anymore? Or, better yet, will there be a time when a night like this arises and it won’t sting as much because people of color feel we’re getting a fair and proper shake?
Until then, we look ahead to a future that’s hopefully more inclusive and colorful for us all.

Sepideh Moafi says she's "speechless" about being the first Iranian-American to be nominated in her category at the #Emmys:
"Part of that is that so many of our people haven't been given roles with the juice and the opportunity because of circumstance. And stereotypical roles that are incredibly reductive and two-dimensional."
