Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Something I’m enjoying is watching the right try and make this situation “masculine” when it is two extremely catty and weak-seeming people having a petty, messy and passive aggressive argument in public, refusing to talk to each other at all

hello bluesky hivemind! i've heard some, uh, *troubling* details from an FAA source but since i don't traditionally report on this agency, i am in need of additional sources to speak with. if this is you or somebody you know...can you help a reporter out (@cwarzel.92 on signal). many thanks.

Opinion | ‘The Studio’ Knows the Real Reason Movies Are Bad

great column @MuseZack and i agree! i didn’t realize it was @steveasbell who originally said that amazing line “I got into all this because I love movies, but now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them.” ahahahaha

‘We had the same moral panic about TV’ is a common refrain when people bring up social media, but like, in terms of social-political impacts, it’s hard to not see the ‘moral panic’ about TV as at least partially vindicated! A reality TV star is president! He’s filling his admin with Fox News hosts!

Fascinating about them removing the language of the trial committee from the ballot measure. Seems like they put their finger on the scale every step of the way. Why were they so afraid of a fair vote?

this is a great question! i believe the Guild put their thumb on the scale at every step because they were prosecuting me for something that wasn’t against the rules in the first place. so then— instead of apologizing for their mistake—they just doubled down & broke the law over and over

Kirk, thank you so much for seeing this so clearly. i strongly believe in the Guild and in union’s right to enforcement. but what they are missing is when they enforce non-rules, they are literally weakening the union. because they are explicitly not allowed to take the position they have taken!

WGA Board vs Julie Bush Appeals

i have it on good authority the Guild did illegal stuff to squeak out their 59 vote victory. completely embarrassing for them, considering they prosecuted me for something that wasn’t against the rules. now we get to see what the Dept of Labor & the NLRB thinks about all this

i did this interview with The Hollywood Reporter immediately after the appeals vote came out. it’s pretty raw. i lost the vote by just 59 votes — by far the closest Guild vote i have ever seen (every other Guild vote is always over 90% in favor of the Board)

i didn’t think it was before but now these absolute idiots have come up with a new plan (a second trial against me for antisemitism)

The normie lib boomer winemom neighborhood by The Grove has upside down American flags in yards and they're having protest organizing meetings/happy hour at each other's houses. Crazy to see the boomers mobilized against the government.

Instead of saying "Defund the Police," people should have just said:

"The police is operating at a net loss, so we're going to have to make some cuts."

Did Baraka arrest just win him the N.J. Democratic primary for governor? The Newark mayor's showdown with ICE has sent his profile soaring, even if it might alienate moderate voters.

If you didn’t know, there’s a race for governor in Jersey right now and Baraka is running. He jumped to the top of the ranks overnight.

Every Dem that stands up to Trump and becomes wildly popular is confirming what we’ve all been saying: voters don’t want Schumer-style leadership.

WGA Members: you have until 2 pm (less than one hour) to vote on the appeals. links below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Julie Bush WGA Appeal Position Statement

Julie Bush WGA Appeal Position Statement

the WGA Board has forced me to do the most humiliating thing possible in Hollywood— put out a statement:

i mean … amazing how all the people they went after and publicly destroyed are people who aren’t famous and don’t have bottomless legal funds. also i don’t think any of the cases are guilty (not just me). the Guild has lost their minds

“Writers Guild vs Writers” by Matt Belloni (Julie Bush vs WGA Board)

so @MattBelloni was kind enough to write about the WGA Board’s witch hunt against me in his column for @PuckNews this week. talking to him on the phone was like my own personal episode of The Town! thanks so much Matt 😊👏

In reading the WGA discipline against @juliebush.bsky.social , Edward John Drake and others, a concerning image emerges: a WGA board inserting itself into what are designed to be a fair trials by one's peers, weighing the scales against the accused and even secretly changing our constitution.

exactly. what they have done is a violation of federal labor law which holds that unions have to adhere to *their own Constitutions.* the General Counsel said the Board gets to interpret the Constitution however they want & guessed we wouldn’t have a quorum at an in person meeting

i talked to the @latimes.com about the WGA’s kangaroo court against me. WGA members can vote now through May 9 at 2 pm. the link should be in your email, just like Guild elections

two more hours until the appeals vote is closed!

to dispute the misconception that i "asked for this popular vote," here is the demand letter i sent to the WGA Board on April 30 asking for the secret in person appeal at the annual member meeting that the WGA Constitution requires. the General Counsel refused it.

i sent this demand letter to the WGA's General Counsel this afternoon regarding Board Members & Captains sending mass emails to members (some with false information claiming that i was convicted of breaking strike rules--i was found innocent of breaking strike rules!)

WGA Appeals Process vs Julie Bush

i talked to @GeneMaddaus @Variety about how insane this WGA appeals process has been.

thank you so much for this thoughtful thread! i really appreciate you taking the time to read the materials and think your votes through. that is true solidarity ❤️

And my favorite part is that the WGA board changed the constitution to make this an online vote. but supposedly they were bound by the constitution in blasting the names of writers appealing before due process was complete. Potentially career ending.
