Boo

Disgusting. Trump is ruining 100's of years of progress in less than 2 months.

We need to support those unions & workers who have given so much to our childhood, & to our kids. We need them for generations to come. Support & FIGHT for them. @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social @pbs.org Apathy is killing what’s good. #divestMusk #nokings #Musktheparasite #DOGEisaSCAM #DOGEisaHEIST

Is this an “Onion” story?

More "waste and fraud"?

@deadder.bsky.social

I get it. Cookie Monster wants to make more money for pushing cookies. Make cents.

Sesame Street is another victim of corporate greed. Fire the CEO who would rather trash an icon before allowing a union. She is trash.

No greater sign that the American Age has ended than this capitalist fuckery being inflicted on Sesame Street

He is a challenge for the ultra rich. Will you be willing to sponsor an American culture icon? 🤑

This is just wrong!!!!

Form a union anyway.

Good luck to you Sesame Workshop employees!

I don't wanna live in a world with no Sesame Street.

Et tu, Brute

Way to go, Corporate fools. You care not one iota about kids, who literally made you.

😢

Oscar’d!

😖😖😖😖

Removing access to education and keeping the workforce under their thumb.

I sure as hell hope we haven’t been so dumbed down in the last six or so years as to not value education. But that’s never exactly been important to ’Murica.

Lo de los sindicatos en los EEUU es un poco de coña. Sólo se lo plantean cuando le ven las orejas al lobo. Mucha suerte a la gente de Barrio Sésamo 💪🏼

NParrrr is compromised. It’s a sanewashing op w/ puff pieces now. The oligarchs made it milquetoast.

Okay, now my childhood?! Trump, youre so good at making people PISSED!!!!! BECAUSE THATS WHAT IM FEELING!!!!!!!!

Oscar the Grouch will be their strongest resource... Smh

Damn, capitalism got Sesame Street, too

I was confused why you said Max was going to cancel them. Max doesn't own Sesame Street Workshop and this partnership was always going to have A end. You can't cancel something you don't actually own. All all the Sesame Street content is staying on Max till 2027.

IS NOTHING SACRED?!

And proving just how necessary it still is to have unions. Too many people forget how many people had to be burned alive when they were locked in their workplace for unions to finally get support in this country.

Not even our most sacred institutions are safe anymore...

This makes Elmo very, very sad.

😡😡🤬🤬🤬

@mcuban.bsky.social great way to be a millionaire hero for future generations

I will fight and maybe die on the hills of Sesame Street. If that answers.

Sesame Street continues to educate us all about America.

Henson would be rolling over in his grave smh

Fascism is rising and that CEO is a scumbag POS.

Well, shit... 😳 Can't wait to hear @arlostuff.bsky.social's takes in the next TopicArlo.

Boo! Down with the CEO!!

Time for a Sesame Street Takeover. Can you say U N I O N?

Jack booted thugs in three thousand dollar suits ..

Liberal by name only. Conservative when it comes to workers rights.

Is THIS enough for a full on revolt yet? What will it take?? WHAT WILL IT TAKE

Just remember that they're blaming the death of Sesame Street on unionizing... not the complete lack of a distributor.

#1) That's illegal so #2) they will get their jobs back.

Feel like they can downsize a CEO instead.

Not even Kermit the frog is safe from this downsizing!

...who is "you" in this context?

Hahah I can't afford to live and I can't afford to die 😀

The children will be disappointed, indeed.

Today’s episode was brought to you by the letters U and B for Union Busting.

I grew up watching that show. I was one of the first generations of kids to watch it, from the first episode. I wish kids had more educational TV programming for them. But times are different... between video games and social media alone kids are watching too much garbage on TV.

This is what happens when you privatize a public good

So I'm guessing workers want their fair share of the PROFITS???

Uh huh . Sus.

Nothing is f-ing sacred these days

Lmfao holy shit the current Sesame Workshop President worked for Reagan 1984, Jack Kemp’s HUD under Reagan and George HW Bush

Isn't seasme street not being renewed (so it's been canceled essentially)?

It’s Sesame Street, how do they not already have a union?!?

Notice how Felon Trump’s “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” have only produced jobs cuts and tariff taxes on the working class. The oligarchs are making out like bandits though.

Not Sesame Street

I doubt Jim Henson would approve.

Wanting to form a union doesn't mean the management is bad. It could just be to make sure it stays good. Sadly, this did not seem to be the case, because corporations can never be trusted to be managed well for their workers.

Right??

This is the darkest timeline.

And then they came for Big Bird.

That doesn’t seem legal.

What the actual fuck?! I forgot they got sold. Capitalists ruin everything.

Oh no :(

"You need to sort out your priorities!"

Sesame Workshop management completely out of touch with what Sesame St is all about. This is a bad look, absolutely terrible for their brand image.

Crying

That's disappointing. NPR doesn't support unions?

It's time for Public media to reclaim Sesame Street

JFC,when even Sesame Street Workshop management are capitalist scum,maybe it really is time to just burn the whole motherfucker down.

Is this the onion?

Will be awful to see one of them on the corner with a sign reading “WILL WORK FOR COOKIE”.

Man, this episode is brought to you by the letter L.

No, but Rocco is.

Support Unions and stand united. 🇺🇲 +Eat the Rich

I hope these executives learn an important lesson about sharing!

Just heard a podcast when the show was started. But sad to see so many leave :( I grew up with the show as well!

Nooooooo god damn it I HATE THIS TIMELINE

The timing of this announcement is too suspect not to think there is a very good chance it is a retaliatory action against the employees looking to unionise. Unfortunately, the fascist regime in DC has gutted public and private worker protections, so any legal action will be slow and may fail.

How sad it is what they have done to this staple of childhood. How maga doesn't care shows how strong that cult is. :(

@hbomax.bsky.social what the hell!

Why are we not starting a nonprofit public funding campaign to buy the rights back? Realize what was lost before it's gone completely.

I'm just glad that I'm aligned with the people who don't have a problem with national parks and sesame street unions

Wow. I did not know Sesame Street had corporate union busting oligarchs running it.

Sesame Workshop, a non-profit, took a corporatist stance when employees wanted to collectively bargain. This is why non-profits come under such scrutiny, because they generally don't behave like non-profits should.

No matter how much good they represented is all good until money comes into the picture and they kick you to the curb. I can't wait to see that episode 😞

Seriously!!?? WTF!?

I stand with Bert and Ernie. I stand with Elmo. I stand with Sesame Street. #UNIONS

Are you telling me Cookie Monster won't Share? Shame. I loved Sesame Street as a child

Disney has always been shit. No matter how it pandered to diversity when it brought in cash. I don’t get why people worship it. Team Bluth all the way!

Also there is of course just the angle of capitalists being evil sacks of shit but white supremacy and all its systemic forms of racism are just extensions of capitalism which is upheld by ultra-wealthy, barely sapient blobs of mayonnaise anyway, so.

WHAT?? That is so evil!

What's that sound? Jim Henson rolling in his grave.

We will no longer need to know how to get to Sesame Street.

This pisses me off. Does Bezos have a stake in Max since he too is a mean spirited ass hat who retaliates against employees who want to unionize.

what a coinkydink

Sesame Street was proof that when you take a public benefit and privatize it, it destroys its soul. Imagine what Jim Henson would think….

Warner Brothers is not PBS.
