Of course it's Aimee Carrero who has the best words, as always. Actors are on strike and of course they deserve to be paid properly for their work, even if it's on streaming, and deserve guarantees against misuse of AI, like the writers do.

SAG-AFTRA
StrikeFor the first time in over 40 years, union film
and television actors are on strike.I'm reflecting on the importance of unions.
Though *never* above reproach or
improvement, unions harness the power of
the collective.Together, we can alleviate the crushing
weight of unfettered capitalism.Together, we can slow the terminal spread of
endless consumption and growth-at-all-cost.At their best, unions represent the hope that
the worker is not a pawn, that The Man is not
invincible, and that the fight for human
dignity cannot and will not be deterred.Unions are the ever-rare reminder that
power is really in the hands of the people.See you on the picket line.
