🧵CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FROM PALESTINIAN WRITERS & ARTISTS:

In affirmation of precious Palestinian lives & in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian peoples for freedom, Adi is dedicating our platform to Palestinian writers & artists, now through the end of Oct. (1/3)

BIDEN, just now striking a vastly different tone than the Israeli President Herzog: “We can’t lose sight of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with Hamas.”

“Give us consent forever or we’ll cast someone else” is basically non-union commercial casting goon-ism.

Destroying Gaza will not make Israel safer. The US Government must stop further atrocities from happening. American Jews have to make clear to Biden that supporting atrocities will not earn our support.

It bares repeating that Hamas is a terrorist organization which acts like a terrorist organization and has set back the free Palestine movement. What they did , hamas, is terrorism. What Israel is asking of regular palestinas right now, 24 hour evacuation, is impossible.

THIS is the future: AI protections for voice and likeness, an invaluable tool for performers.

Thank you to Senator Senator Chris Coons, Senator Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Senator Amy Klobuchar and Senator Thom Tillis for driving the NO FAKES Act. sagaftra.org/sag-aftra-appl…

What an asinine statement. “Oh well, we tried! No more movies or TV, sorry!”

The era of “let’s stop making the thing we make” is coming to a crashing end with CEOs immolating their own businesses. #SAGAFTRAstrong

part of why I was uncomfortable with the immediate rush to exculpate Drew after she caved so people could go back to liking her again was that it felt like the internet accepting her apology on behalf of the people she harmed, which isn’t our right. the people she harmed QUIT.

what if I told you that it's also bad for the economy when people make so little money that they can't afford to buy anything

Hey writers, you are not alone, you are not behind. Most ppl don’t know where they’ll land right now. Everyone is in the soup. Make friends with your fellow beans. Find a chunk of potato to float on. Infuse yourself with the spices of chaos.

Thank you Governor Kathy Hochul for supporting #SagAftraMembers by signing into law S.1042-A (Hinchey)/A.3596-A (Paulin) which will protect New Yorkers from being exploited by technology and deepfakes. With the support of Governor Hochul, New York continues to lead the way.

Thank you NY Senator Jessica Ramos for introducing bill S7676 that would protect #sagaftramembers by prohibiting digital voice/likeness transfers without informed consent in NY State. #UnionStrong #SagAftraStrong

The streaming bubble bursting is not a bad thing. Bringing back ads that pump money into programming budgets is not a bad thing. This business has always been hard, but not chasing the unsustainable Netflix model will recalibrate the market and I’m hopeful for where it leads.

I don’t know how we in WGA and SAG can ever repay the debt to Teamsters for their support.
