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.

They told us they were targeting "the worst of the worst," but they are going after delivery drivers and their bikes. This isn't about criminality or immigration; it's about intimidation.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Take a moment to imagine the sniggering adolescent minds who thought that this was a good idea. No one thought to say, “Maybe we shouldn’t actually use the official White House account to insult the Church… and amplify the juvenile narcissism of the president.” open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

@joyannreid.bsky.social I miss your show - I miss your voice of reason and perspective at night. I want to share my “Who Won The Week” - Cory Booker who stood for good trouble. He did not spew vitriol but emphatically and intellectually shared the stories of real Americans.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
