Important to understand that Sinclair, Nexstar, and Tenga are the local TV Oligarchy. They are increasingly looking to buy each other up until all US local TV is controlled by one company. They need a compliant FCC for this.
Jon Oliver did an excellent episode back in 2018 featuring Sinclair.
Said some things on the WGAW podcast about bringing film & TV productions back to California. Take a listen/watch and make a drinking game out of how many times i say “concern.” 🤭

Hey, hey, come here. Sit down.
You need some good news this morning? Close your eyes... wait, don't, cause you gotta read this. Take a deep breath, and realize--
No one's talking about NFTs anymore. No one. They're dead.
*Now* close your eyes and enjoy that thought.
Most people conflate charity with mutual aid, but charity often identifies the “deserving poor” vs the “undeserving poor.” That’s just one of the major distinctions.
A moment of strength and prayer for the light poles of Philly right now. #superbowl
In the wake of the fires, LA production is hurting even more than before. People can’t afford to live here if there isn’t work here.
Sign our petition at the link in bio STAYinLA.org and share #STAYinLA widely. (And thank you to hireyoungprofessionals.com for designing our campaign!)
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

To LA County wildfire survivors:
If you get a “not approved” letter from FEMA, don’t stop there – it doesn’t mean you’re out of options.
FEMA might just need more info, like insurance details or proof of residence.

Ditto here in Frogtown. No me gusta
An LA organizer I trust shared this General Resource Spreadsheet with me. It includes nonofficial shelters and other resources for people affected by the LA fires.
BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now.
The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country.
The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.
It’s time for the studios to come off the sidelines. After this industry has spent decades fighting piracy, it cannot stand idly by while tech companies steal full libraries of content for their own financial gain.
But daddy I love him
For folks working with #Hollywood support staff (PAs, assistants, coordinators, in any and all departments) - please remember the bulk of support staff ARE NOT PAID through the Christmas holidays. Please consider gifting cash to your assistants (if you are financially able). 1/3
