Hey WGA members, I want to call attention to one of the candidates for our Board: Cathryn Humphris.

I worked with Cathryn on NCIS: NOLA, where she was a strong mentor and a force for good both then and during the strike. She's absolutely worthy of your vote elections.wga.org/2025/cathryn...

Thx to Corridor Crew - my youngest asked to see “Sketch.” We loved it. Congrats to everyone involved! Kid’s reply to your first feedback question: “it’s okay to express your feelings & if you want to hurt someone don’t actually do it, draw a monster that will”

Quantifying the Profiling: 1/5 ICE Arrests Are Latinos on the Streets with No Criminal Past or Removal Order. My new analysis of ICE arrest location data show that ICE is arresting staggering numbers of Latin Americans off the streets who they had no reason to target... 🧵

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying.

A company says an employee was detained by federal agents during an immigration court hearing, despite being here legally with a valid work permit.

Congrats!

Announcement from WGA East on leaving X.com following the racist and anti-Semitic language used by Grok.

WGA East has left Twitter, X, the Cesspool of Sadness, or whatever you want to call it. I hope other orgs do the same.

LA and OC friends — come hang out with me next week!

I have a lot of issues with people getting information solely through short-form video content (cue the Gen-Z hate), but it doesn’t seem like that trend is stopping anytime soon. I am going to try to reach people over on TikTok. Here are the first 3 minutes of one I just made. 🧪 #MedSky #BlackMedSky

As an Echo Park Neighborhood Council member, I attended a budget symposium for the city of LA today.

ICE raids have cost our budget $32M, & that's before accounting for loss of business, tourism & labor.

& it's after paying for wildfire recovery.

For information, Merch (NEW T-SHIRTS/HOODIES), and all things Rant Room!

So we all need to say again loudly that transgender people exist and deserve equal protection under the constitution, because this morning our highest court went with discrimination. Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench. In sadness, I repost it.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Hey, fellow Asian So. Cal Fam: ICE is visiting local Asian grocery stores like HMart and 99 Ranch - just heard this from a local contact.

Please be careful AND please take this as a sign - this impacts us too. Call. Protest. Donate.

LA is a hard city to live in. No doubt about it. I've been here since 1990, with about ten months off one time when I was working in NY. That's a lot of months of making rent, dealing with the particular demands of the city, and learning about the people I share the city with.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions.

0 were on the gang member list.
130 had no criminal history.
32 had minor offenses.

All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

A story of failure. (Thread)

In 2022 I had a general on zoom with a studio exec. We hit it off. I always have 3 soft pitches ready for these meetings. After the intros he asked me what I’ve been working on. Pitched him Idea1. He loved it. “Let’s take that out.”
Then he asked “What else you got?”
