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 WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Silver Spring woman, Raskin promote bill to allow donations of pet food past sell-by date to animal shelters The BARK Act, promoted by Jamie Raskin and a Silver Spring woman, would eliminate liability for stores that donate the pet food.

Millions of pounds of food are thrown out every year by pet suppliers. I’m reaching across the aisle to help deliver food to hungry shelter dogs and cats.

Congress, let's stop being dogmatic and pass the bipartisan BARK Act!

Text reading: I had to come down to Los Angeles for Work and ended up trying to help with the raid last night. As a Bernie usefully. Waited by the entrance for detainees We were repeatedly denied access of any kind, and eventually LAPD force removed attorneys ice. Also tear gassed a baby under age two. Today they told us to come back at eight to see the clients, but they ever refused entry to us as well as politicians, including Jimmy, Gomez, and right now. They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the Attorneys can’t breathe

Text reading: Post it so everyone knows. When we were trying to chant their rights ice honked so no one could hear.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

On this 80th Anniversary of VE Day, we remember all those who won the war against Nazis and remember the countless sacrifices they made to deliver it. The Greatest Generation stood up to evil to protect peace and freedom for generations. Now it’s our turn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pNl...

One at a time. There’s room for change in everyone’s heart, and I just hope it’s not too late.

Trump’s Inevitable Betrayal of His Supporters Trump never meant to keep his promises. His voters are starting to notice.

"More and more of the president’s backers realize that his impossible promises were never meant to be kept," @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes:

Chicago is on to something.

Tee-hee!

This is petty. The FBI has reassigned several agents simply for being photographed kneeling in solidarity with racial justice protesters in D.C. during the 2020 demonstrations after George Floyd’s murder.

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social only 1362 days left.

Exactly!

Not shocking, not surprising, yet completely out of character for a decent Secretary of Defense. FFS, fire him!

We The People Are Not Afraid of You, Donald. A Declaration of Decent Americans

We are not afraid of you, because even with the greatest seat of power, you are a spectacularly small man.

We are not afraid of you because you are not worthy of our fear; because that would mean respecting you—and we do not.
