WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Satsuki Ina was born in a US concentration camp and has dedicated her life to healing trauma and fighting for the closure of current day immigrant detention centers. Her family story, which she shares in her memoir, is urgent and moving; and she is an inspiration.

Family separation, mass incarceration, and challenges to birthright citizenship have precedent in the US—but so too do the resistance movements and resilience of the communities who have survived tyrannical overreach before.

Witnessing the outpouring of love and remembrance for Heyday founder Malcolm Margolin has been a humble reminder of what I’m privileged to be a part of. He leaves a significant legacy in his wake. May he rest easy.

One of the most profoundly wonderful people I’ve ever worked with, @rosannaxia.bsky.social, is dishing wisdom on how California is meeting the challenge of sea level rise with the inordinately cool cats of @altajournal.bsky.social tomorrow at 5 pm PST (virtual) and you can RSVP here:
