Unions not only defend our freedoms in the workplace, but they have also been on the frontlines responding to this regime's attacks on our democracy.

Is it any wonder why Trump and many of the corporations bowing down to him are so staunchly anti-union?

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.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

An apology is insufficient. Everyone email [email protected] and tell them Kilmeade must be fired immediately. #GoodTrouble

I’m sorry, but Brian Kilmeade can still go fuck himself.

If he truly said this, then Kilmeade needs to be immediately FIRED and blackballed from ever appearing again in front of a camera or microphone. Utterly disgusting and despicable. Even for Fox “News”.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Mad props to the anonymous CDC-er that designed and printed these signs for the goodbye celebration of the CDC leaders we lost yesterday -- the 3Ds (Demetre, Deb, Dan). LEGENDARY.

Did you know that the most heat pumps per capita are installed in the coldest countries in Europe?

In Sweden, Finland and Norway there are now more than 40 heat pumps per 100 households, more than in any other country in the world.

The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary.

“We didn’t know”
“Nobody told us”
“He promised he wouldn’t…”

This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.
