[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

These workers in Monterey CA were picking peas in thick smoke & haze for .54 cents a pound. If the air quality index surpasses 150, employers must provide respiratory protection equipment such as N95masks or similar. The UFW continues to advocate for all farm workers. #WeFeedYou

When was the last time you actually wrote something on paper? There is value in the *tactile experience* of writing. Hand. Pen. Paper. https://t.co/pu1C7VQ8Fm #writing #screenwriting #fiction #creativity

[Black Film Bulletin @BLKfilmbulletin]

Black Film Bulletin extend our deepest condolences to the family of Sir Horace Ové - who has sadly passed away. May his extraordinary contributions to the canon of British and Black cinema, television and photography long be remembered 🖤🙏🏽

[BFI @BFI]

We're deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Horace Ové.

Photographer, painter, writer, and pioneering filmmaker, Ové's career spanned four decades and encompassed cutting-edge drama and documentary. He worked outside of the system, showing generations of Black filmmakers that it could be done, and that their voices have power.

Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time.

[Writers Guild of America West @WGAWest]

“Writers have had to rely on strike loans from our union, donations, philanthropy, and second and third jobs to pay for their basic needs since May 2. Four months without work is emotionally brutal and financially disastrous,” WGAW President Meredith Stiehm. #WGAstrike 1/2

New one: America's state supreme courts are less reflective of the nation’s racial and ethnic makeup in 2023 than they were in 1990.

Talked to current and former justices about why that matters. Story up on @publicintegrity

The RICO charges against Stop Cop City protesters pose a threat to labor and all social movements. Such charges have historically been used to undercut worker organizing. Read @sarahlazare's reporting on how some labor leaders are standing w/ Stop Cop City https://t.co/vLf410X4QX

$47m.

That’s what the WGA projected it would cost Warner Bros. Discovery to give us ALL our asks over three years.

Instead, they’re going to lose 10x that in just four months.

The studios can’t afford to let the strikes continue.

It’s beyond time to make a deal.

@bryanedwardhill Fascinating

I've been studying camerawork and its deliberate, psychological effects. This is a FANTASTIC example of the hidden language of camera movement.

Today is my first day @BrownUniversity . My best friend should be starting college also, but he was killed when we were shot at our high school. I promise to use my life, my experience , and my education to honor the life of forever 14 yr old Dominic Blackwell. #BeTheChange #GVP

BREAKING: We're suing Nevada for banning Medicaid coverage for abortion.

[Hilluminati @bryanedwardhill]

From a narrative standpoint, this is really interesting because you have a very fragile alliance among competitors about how to end a common issue — so they can return to being fierce competitors.

That sounds like a Mamet play.

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

The people deserve & demand #CancelStudentDebt relief.

When Republicans & this far-right Supreme Court refuse to show up & meet this moment, @POTUS must use every tool available to deliver this urgent, transformative relief.

When I was in school there was a girl who ( I'm using fake names but this really happened) wanted to be Beth not her given name of Elizabeth Found out later her father was abusing her and called her Elizabeth during the abuse. She finally told our teacher
