How much is a million dollars? Imagine spending $27 every day for 100 years. How much is a billion dollars? Imagine spending $27,000 every day for 100 years. How much is a trillion dollars? Imagine spending $27 million every day for 100 years.

On August 28, 1939, crews were inside Rock Island Illinois' newly constructed concrete domes cleaning and waterproofing. In a split second, a single spark from a worker’s cigarette ignited the concentrated vapors trapped within the dome’s structure. Three workers were killed.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If you or someone you know could be targeted by ICE, delete or take private all of your social media accounts. And their family and friends should make no mention of their undocumented status

The federal safety net that’s long kept farming communities afloat during bad harvest years has deteriorated, and fresh threats to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, Medicaid and US Department of Agriculture programs risk making it worse.

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.

American democracy retreated before. It recovered from those periods not because its survival was inevitable but because Americans — including many who disagreed with one another on other subjects — fought bravely and smartly for this country’s ideals.
