🗣️ Someone buy this brilliant show!!!
@WGAWest I deeply appreciate all the love and thanks. It as with every dime. But if you really want to thank someone for those meals, thank Bruce Helford and all the Drew Carey Show writers. They helped make me rich enough to afford it, No writers, no $. Simple as that

a short 🧵! Back in May, when it became clear we were going on strike, I got real sad. Because I remembered the last strike. How the AMPTP plan to play unions against each other worked. How the picket lines swelled at first but after a few weeks, thinned out. Not this time.
Seeing pics of the lines today is EVERYTHING. #wgastrong
TUESDAY! FOX! ALL ARE WELCOME!
As of 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 14, the @UAW is on STRIKE against all three of the Big Three. Their fight is our fight- solidarity! ✊ #StandUpUAW
I was in the room and can tell you unequivocally: The AMPTP does not "believe" it's our turn to make a counter. They KNOW it's their turn, not ours. They KNOW. They're not even a LITTLE BIT confused. I just want people to be clear on that.

Every documentary about the labor movement ever made and how to watch. 🧵
They tried to trick us into negotiating with ourselves. We held together and didn’t let it work. So now, they’re sitting down to negotiate with themselves — as they should. It’s way past time for studios to get serious and make a fair deal. #WGAStrong deadline.com/2023/08/hollyw…
Important fact getting lost in the fog of war, people are like “why doesn’t the WGA counteroffer?” We did. In fact, it only took us 4 days after the AMPTP’s first offer. But the AMPTP ignored it. We are negotiating. Are they?
the fact that they leaked it means it’s not good enough
Read every word of this and ask yourself if this is how leaders of billion dollar companies should behave when 200,000+ livelihoods are at stake. See you on the line tomorrow.
We didn’t go on strike for 100+ days to bullied into taking the studios’ *ONE* offer, which is full of loopholes and does not address all our issues. Nope, not happening.

The framing here is the tell: "Rising hopes" as the AMPTP is said to "give" something of seeming value. I am on the negotiating panel. Our hopes will rise when, on confronting a fair contract, the studios come to terms. Trust not the trades. Trust not the studio leaks. #WGAStrong

Jesus Murphy I sign off and I come back and people are freaking out about AMPTP leaks again and WHAT did I SAY? If it doesn’t come from WGA leadership then it is an intentional leak to make them look good or us look bad. Do not get spun. Even if it seems 3rd party, it’s not.
As we parse every syllable of multiple articles that claim to know the AMPTP’s bottom line, I’m begging us all to remember: 1) these articles are coming out the night before the WGA is reportedly responding to their offer 2) today we learned the AMPTP is hiring a PR firm
been hearing from some VERY connected people that the strike is scheduled to end like tomorrow because Ted Sarandos said so? anyway it must be true because we would never spread such rumors to get people’s hopes up and put pressure on the WGA to just take whatever we offered
