NEW: Actors could join writers on strike July 1 and shut down Hollywood.

Streaming has broken the industry. Successful actors are working second jobs. Some received $0 in residuals from Netflix shows with millions of viewers.

So 98% of @SAGAFTRA voted to authorize a strike.

Life-threatening heat today in Puerto Rico so hot that some meteorologists are astonished. And more of the same to come this week. Heat index numbers as high as 115-125 today!! So what is going on? There are many factors, so let's dig in... thread 1/

La gente quiere trabajar pero: con beneficios, días de enfermedad, bonos y oportunidades reales. Está brutal decir que “nadie quiere trabajar” y, por otra parte, tratar de pesetear el bono navideño.

The U.S. launched a racist eugenics program in Puerto Rico in the 1930s — sterilizing about one third of Puerto Rican women by 1976, many forced or coerced.

It was just one chapter of U.S. colonial eugenics programs and medical experiments targeting women of color. 🧵(1/8)

No es propiedad privada. Es una construcción ILEGAL, construida en bienes d dominio público en cueva #LasGolonrinas en Aguadilla.

[LaÍnsulaAlucinada @MarcosPerezRam]

No caigas en la #PropagandaKOI: las construcciones en Cueva Las Golondrinas son ilegales y están en terrenos públicos. Todo lo que están diciendo los propagandistas es para que apoyes el robo de tierras públicas de alto valor ecológico. Es un robo que defiende el PNP.
