There has been no one celebrity, perhaps no one person, who has been more out front and supportive of

than Jeri Ryan. She’s an inspiration and it was an honor to meet her on the picket line today.

In 1971 ABC's Movie of the Week “Brian’s Song” aired starring Billy Dee Williams and James Caan — based on the real-life relationship between teammates Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers.
Rest In Peace, James Caan.

NegComm that I and 4K+ others signed in secret in 24 hours earlier this month. If that's not the definition of a bad ass, you tell me what is!
I've never met her but when I do-
With many SAG-AFTRA members voting no, we’re unfortunately seeing a lot of misinformation coming from the NegCom. Most of it seems to be that they just don’t understand the contract well enough to be answering questions publicly, but I think some of it deserves a closer look.🧵
This photo was taken last week but frankly it could’ve been taken any day because
@JeriLRyan
is on the picket lines EVERY SINGLE DAMN DAY, including today!!!! She's incredible!!
One day longer. One day stronger. As long as it takes.

This is really true. As an actor walking the lines in solidarity with the WGA I've met more writers in the last 2+ months than ever before in my life. And it's a been a damn pleasure!

Josh Hawley is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.
Just back from a fun and festive atmosphere at WB today! Yes we ARE having fun on the lines!
Grateful to see and walk with so many friends. Thank you to
@JeriLRyan
for being there as always and thank you to
@PatrickFabian
for joining us today!

Studios will reportedly stop negotiating with SAG-AFTRA until January unless they get a deal in the next week.
This is a tactic by studios to put pressure on the union to take a deal. SAG can wait for the deal they deserve as long as it takes.

AMPTP, looks like
#SAG
members aren’t happy about your desire to replace us with
#AI
. Thousands of signatures telling you they’re not going to take your insane offers to replace them. Negotiate properly, or no deal.
I see the Cubs Prospect Pervs are clutching their pearls that we gave up a "ton" for Jeimer. Made and Herz were their 14th and 16 ranked prospects. In 2016, the Cubs 14th and 16th ranked prospects were Ryan Williams and Donnie Dewees.
HOW WILL WE EVER RECOVER FROM SUCH A LOSS

Four stages of a Cubs injury:
1. X-Ray is negative.
2. Player is day to day. Team plays shorthanded.
3. Player finally goes on IL after 8 days.
4. Player is out 3+ months

NO IT IS NOT THE SAME as requiring nudity or living in Scranton for 6 mos to get the job.
To paraphrase
@SarahAnnMasse
a small percentage of actors will be asked to do those things while 100% of us will be asked to be scanned!!!
Why doesn’t our contract say consent CANNOT be a condition of employment? Why is there not a clause that specifically says, consent/discussion regarding digital doubles can only come AFTER an actor is hired? And not a reason to not hire them in the first place?
VERY GRATEFUL to
@LadyKateBond
and our awesome
@sagaftra
strike captains for initiating this letter. THANK YOU!
To get 4,000 signatures, in secret, in 24 hours is a Herculean achievement! Very well done!
“Budget? What budget? The Cubs have all the money in the world. Look at this place.”
Props to AJ for telling it like it is on national TV. Certainly don’t get anything like that on the marquee propaganda network.
As usual,
@slack2thefuture
nails it. Our
#SAG
contract DOES allow a company to use consent to AI as a condition of employment, and does NOT define an actor as a human being.
Both of these things the
#WGA
got in their righteous fight. Why didn't we? I'd be happy with our deal-
It’s also worth noting that our contract clearly states that a company may not requre consent to AI use as a condition of employment. The studios agreed to this language back in September.

Yes, we take photos and look like we’re having fun on the picket line.
Should we look miserable? NO! Every expression of joy shows the AMPTP we’re not backing down and they are not breaking us!
Keep taking your selfies, making new friends & cheering each other on out there!
Letter from the Cubs regarding the Billy Williams number SNAFU (look it up folks),
"To correct this, new bobbleheads are being made. Due to manufacturing and shipping times, it is likely these items will be available next season."
NEXT SEASON!!!!!!!!!
