TL;DR: Too much debt + too few studios = a disaster for creators, consumers, and democracy. Stop letting billionaires play Jenga with our culture. 🏰🚫 #SaveHollywood #WBD #Paramount #Antitrust
Paramount is trading at $9.19 because the market smells the "Glass House" shattering. If the DOJ finds even one clause giving foreign backers "content input," the deal is dead on arrival. 🛑🎬 #Antitrust #SaveHollywood
April 23. Mark the date. WBD shareholders are voting on a deal funded by a region that is currently a war zone. If this merger goes through, we aren't just losing a movie studio—we're watching a financial Hindenburg ignite in real-time. 🗳️🔥 #SaveHollywood #SaveWB
Reminder: The #WBD shareholder vote is April 23. You're being asked to vote for a merger backed by "hopes and prayers" and a war that literally has no end in sight. Don't let them gaslight you—this deal is DOA. 💀🗳️ #StopTheMerger #SaveHollywood
7/ Shareholders: You have until April 23. Follow the lead of the legends. Don't let David Ellison "larp" as a mogul while the industry burns. VOTE AGAINST THE MERGER. 🏁🔥 #VoteNoWBD #ParamountJunk #SaveHollywood

The window is open for the DOJ and AG Rob Bonta to step in and kill this before the proxy vote even happens. 🏛️ It’s time for regulators to do their jobs and save these studios from a debt trap they can't escape. 🛑🎬 #Antitrust #SaveHollywood

Post 2/5
Job Apocalypse: Experts warn this merger threatens 15,000+ jobs. With $114B in debt, the new "mega-studio" will slash thousands of crew members, writers, and artists to pay off their bills. We can’t let corporate debt destroy families. #SaveHollywood #LaborRights
Don’t just watch the credits roll on Hollywood competition. Support independent studios, boost non-franchise creators, and keep the pressure on regulators to scrutinize this debt-ridden monopoly. The industry needs fans who care about more than just the bottom line. ✊🎬 #SaveHollywood
California AG Rob Bonta is leading the charge, warning this deal is "not a done deal." ⚖️ He’s joined by 11+ state AGs concerned about massive layoffs and higher subscription prices. We need states to sue under the Clayton Act! #MediaMonopoly #SaveHollywood
Schiff isn’t explicitly saying "block it" (yet), but he’s demanding the "highest level of scrutiny." 🔍
His big worry? A "vicious cycle" where consolidation leads to massive layoffs and even more production fleeing California for tax havens. #SaveHollywood
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
David Ellison is pushing a $111B hostile takeover to merge Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery. It’s not just a business deal; it’s a disaster for creators, fans, and the future of storytelling. Here’s why we have to stop it. #StopTheMerger #SaveHollywood
The Warner Bros. Discovery / Paramount-Skydance merger isn’t just another corporate payday—it’s a controlled demolition of Hollywood’s creative soul. 🎬💔 $WBD shareholders are cashing out at $31/share, but the cost to the public is far higher. #WBD #Paramount #SaveHollywood
This is a recipe for a media monopoly. 📺📉 #StopTheMerger #SaveHollywood #LaborRights #MediaReform
✍️ ACTION STEPS:

This is a recipe for a media monopoly. 📺📉 #StopTheMerger #SaveHollywood #LaborRights #MediaReform
We need everyone on Bluesky to flood State Attorney Generals with calls to block the Paramount-WBD merger. This $111B consolidation is a death knell for competition, news independence, and creative jobs. 🧵 (1/3) #SaveHollywood #Antitrust
🚨 STOP THE MERGER 🚨
The Paramount/WBD deal will kill Hollywood jobs & hike prices. Don't believe Ellison’s 30-film fairy tale—it’s a debt-fueled disaster.
Call your State AG & tell them to BLOCK this $111B monopoly.
