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

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Among the deletions in this year's Trump-era human rights report: women's rights.

Barely a mention for half of humanity. Both outrageous and pathetic.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

So, for the 4th of July you can either watch Jaws (do it) or Dirty Dancing. That’s it! Those are the only acceptable films for this holiday weekend. This means you need to carry a watermelon or need a bigger boat..

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.

The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.

They just lie.

Susan Collins only votes no when republicans already have the votes. That makes her even worse than the others. A true embarrassment to our state.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future.

Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

🧵 A lot of people ask me the best way they can support my campaign and right now, that's donating.

If you're able, chipping in $5, $15, or $50 makes the biggest difference — and send our donation link to 3 friends while you're at it!

But let me tell you how your money will be used:
