The Call to Action. 📢 State Attorneys General: This merger is a predatory leveraged buyout disguised as "consolidation." It threatens jobs in your states, raises prices for your citizens, and destabilizes our media. BLOCK THE MERGER. 🚫

Bottom Line: The world changed between the deal’s announcement and today. @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov , the "last line of defense" must look at whether this merger is even financially viable—or safe for our democracy—in a time of global war. #California #Hollywood #Antitrust

The Paramount / Warner Bros. Discovery merger isn’t a done deal yet. CA AG Rob Bonta is investigating this $110B mega-merger, and he needs backup from other state Attorneys General to block it. 🛑 We need to flood their offices now. #StopTheMerger #Antitrust #WBDParamount

🚨 The Paramount-WBD merger isn't just "business"—it’s a controlled demolition of American media. We’re looking at a $110B "zombie giant" saddled with nearly $80B in debt. This isn't growth; it's a consolidation of failure that we will all pay for. 🧵 #StopTheMerger #Antitrust #SaveCBSCNN

🚨 STOP THE PRESSES: CA Attorney General Rob Bonta is moving at light speed to block the $110B Paramount/WBD merger. Even if shareholders vote "YES," Bonta says "NOT SO FAST." Here’s why he’s in a hurry to save Hollywood. 🧵👇 #Antitrust #Hollywood #ParamountWBD

Tonight proved we still love great cinema, but you can’t have "Best Pictures" without independent studios. The fight to keep Paramount and WBD separate isn't just about jobs—it’s about preventing a media monopoly. The puppet strings need to be cut. ✂️🧵 #SaveHollywood #Antitrust

US states have to enforce the rule of law since their federal government won't. Which means maybe those states are available partners for helping the rest of the world govern the unrecognised and unregulated #transnationalUtilities presently domiciled in the US. #antitrust #competitionLaw

If the DOJ and FCC don't block this, we aren't just losing a few movie studios. We are handing the keys to our information ecosystem to a single family with clear political motives. This isn't business; it's a structural threat to a free press. #StopTheMerger #Antitrust #ParamountWBD

The $WBD / Paramount-Skydance deal isn't set in stone. 🛑 Even with the HSR waiting period "expired," the DOJ can still sue to block the merger, and State AGs are just starting their engines. Here is how we stop this "hostile takeover of truth." 🧵 #Antitrust #FreeSpeech

If you work in the industry or care about the future of film, now is the time to speak up. 🗣️
Submit your concerns to the CA AG’s antitrust form. Don't let 100 years of film history be liquidated to pay off corporate debt.

The Call to Action
When you see those "5 to 4 = 0" pins on the red carpet tonight, remember: art thrives on competition, not consolidation.
Support the creators. Support the journalists at CBS/CNN. Keep the pressure on the DOJ and State AGs to block this disaster. 🚫🎥 #Oscars #Antitrust #Bluesky

🚨 Attention $WBD shareholders: The proposed Paramount-Skydance merger is a "death wish" for long-term value. With a combined $80B debt load and a fresh "Junk" rating, the board is steering us into a financial abyss. 📉

🧵 The Paramount-WBD merger isn't just about 'efficiency' or 'streaming wars.' For independent film, it’s a potential extinction event. Why? Because consolidation kills the very thing indies need to survive: a competitive market. #Antitrust #SaveCinema #Hollywood

Hey @Vanguard, @BlackRock, and @StateStreet—are you really going to let Malone and Zaslav burn this down?
The Teamsters and the DOJ are watching. This isn’t a merger; it’s a vulture capital raid on two of Hollywood’s most iconic studios. 🧨

The Hook
The Paramount-WBD merger isn't just "another deal"—it’s a $111B suicide pact that creates a "zombie" studio. With $79B in debt and a "junk" credit rating, they aren't merging to innovate; they’re merging to survive a sinking ship. 🧵 #Antitrust #Hollywood #Labor
