Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Instead of eliminating the Electoral College — a very bad and incredibly difficult goal — maybe just expand the House of Representatives to where it would be if Congress hadn’t frozen the number. That would alleviate much of the “un-democratic” nature of the Electoral College.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We have capped the cost of insulin and the cost of prescription drugs for seniors. When I am president, we will continue to make health care more affordable.

Donald Trump’s “concepts of a plan” would gut health care for millions of Americans without a plan to replace it.

Awesome time writing @IATSE @animationguild postcards to voters for @gtwhitesides @Pilar4CA @kippmuellerca

Nothing like #unionpower to help flip #CA27 Blue!

[Dan Salgarolo @salgatron]

Had a great time at this canvass chatting with voters about flipping #CA27 blue!

[George Whitesides @gtwhitesides]

We just wrapped up an amazing canvas launch with the incredible @JonLovett from @PodSaveAmerica! We had an energizing discussion about the importance of this upcoming election, and we’re absolutely fired up to flip the house for CA-27 in November! Let’s do this! #CA27

I want to talk about an animated TV show called Neon Galaxy that I pitched and began developing at a large animation studio in late 2019. A few months ago, after over four years of development, I learned that it wouldn’t be moving forward.

[Dan Salgarolo @salgatron]

"No slump was ever broken without a willingness to take risks."

I saw this live, it lifted my spirits. Gadd said what many screenwriters who've spent years pitching originals know:

Hollywood's so busy chasing nostalgia, it's forgotten why we get nostalgic.

Tell new stories!

[Variety @Variety]

Richard Gadd: "If 'Baby Reindeer' has proved anything, it's that there's no set formula to this, that you don't big stars, proven IP, long-running series...to have a hit. The only constant across any success in television is good storytelling, good storytelling that speaks to our times. So take risks, push boundaries, explore the uncomfortable, dare to fail in order to achieve." https://t.co/ZRH7XNq4PN

7 days left to make Adulting happen! 🙏
Here's to the final stretch 👊🏿💥

[The Animation Guild // #WeAre839 @animationguild]

As we gear up for negotiations next Monday, it's crucial that we show our strength and solidarity like TAG members here at Disney, both in person and online. Let's come together as a united force to fight for what we deserve! 💪

[Animation Guild Writers @TAGwriters]

We think Taggy said it best: AAAAA!!! Threats to our industry like Gen AI and abuse of unit rates have TAG members in an existential crisis. We need ALL animation workers and fans of animation to #standwithanimation while there’s still an industry and jobs worth fighting for.

[George Whitesides @gtwhitesides]

This weekend, our volunteers knocked well over 4000 doors across the district! This is HUGE and the energy is fantastic!

Thanks to everyone who came out. It makes a difference.

Fired up and ready to take this election to new heights! 💪#CA27

Finally framed and hung this gem of a @MondoNews #sdcc2024 exclusive!!

BEST MOMENT OF NIGHT AT DNC:

Michelle Obama to Trump: “Who is going to tell him that the job that he is currently seeking might just me one of those ‘black jobs’?”

[Dan Salgarolo @salgatron]

Still got it.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

President Obama: It’s been a constant stream of gripes and grievances that’s actually gotten worse now that Trump is afraid of losing to Kamala. The childish nicknames and crazy conspiracy theories and weird obsession with crowd sizes 🤏

Say hello to your favorite #AnimationWriter and learn why you should #StandWithAnimation as The Animation Guild negotiates with the #AMPTP. Animation writers deserve equal pay for equal work, and all animation workers deserve fair wages! #NoContractNoCartoons

[Dan Salgarolo @salgatron]

A little breakdown of the insane ROI of animation. Animation workers deserve a fair cut. #StandWithAnimation

[Merrill Hagan @MerrillHagan]

When you talk about animation, we can - and will - stack our ratings/cost against current live-action shows. But the one thing NO ONE talks about is the ridiculously long tail on animation profits. Let's look at some recent examples:
