"Camilo" is harvesting pomegranates in Firebaugh, CA. "We earn minimum wage. It's very tiring work. We climb up and down ladders with a heavy sack of fruit. We then rush to empty the sack into the bin. Today was a good day as the ground wasn't wet from the rain." #WeFeedYou

the issue here, especially with TCM, is more than half of its programming came from the Turner, and later WB, library. If you remove the network from the library, how is it going to afford to license 100% of its programming?

Great (and, alas, necessary) statement from the @wgawest.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social.

Compare and contrast with that of the DGA...

(1/5)'. christinanguyenmpls 11h We had an ICE scare yesterday and even though we’re afraid of the repercussions of being vocal, we feel that it’s also important to inform people that this is right at our front door. ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S APPALLING. REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. LOVE, HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI (5/5)

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

This horror movie looks creepy AF.

Freshly harvested lettuce where a worker is packing it

"Anna" works packing lettuce in Salinas, CA. "At the end of the day, my hands hurt from the constant repeated motion. I packs more than 1000 boxes very rapidly all day long. It's hard work but allows me to make a living and feed my family." #WeFeedYou

the only Christmas movie to know me by

I believe that they’re related to Thurston Howell III.

from my cold, dead hands etc etc

I stand before my full fridge and whine, “Boo-hoo, there’s nothing I want to eat instead” of hunting down my dinner and ripping out its throat with my bare hands.

The step-daughter of the owner of the Criterion Collection and Janus Films is an ex-CIA officer; is married to one of RFK Jr’s sons; was RFK Jr’s presidential campaign manager; looks a bit like Olivia Nuzzi; and is on Trump's Intelligence Advisory Board.

Bette Davis is the only answer.

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

And the award for Achievement in Casting goes to!

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Each of these babies are only alive today because we stepped into rescue and raise their mothers after they were orphaned. Today, these rescued elephants are living wild and raising confident, playful babies.

Okay, but please spare a thought for all the nation’s movie critics.

A third infant in Kentucky has died of whooping cough this year.

Reminder: The best way to protect against whooping cough is to get vaccinated. Adults should get a Tdap booster every 10 years, so please check, you may be overdue!
