Just one of the millions of Native American communist writer/director woke elites who secretly control television, film, videogames, & graphic novels.

A 🧵for anyone wondering why no resolution seems in sight for the #WGAstrike, and why NOTHING will happen with it (regardless of whatever might emerge from #SAG and #AMPTP negotiations) until Friday, July 7th. #WGAstrong
On July 1st, boilerplate Force Majeure contract clauses kick in.
What's "Force Majeure"?
A legal term for unforeseeable circumstances that prevent someone from fulfilling a contract.
In most WGA contracts, after 60 days a strike is considered to be a Force Majeure.

🧵#WGAstrong I see scattered #AMPTP shills claiming the #WGA is demanding too much at the wrong time and the executives don't care about our strike and we aren't hurting them and blah blah blah. Maybe. I doubt that, but sure, maybe. BUT...
Maybe these CEOs can't see the damage WE are doing to them because they're doing so much more damage to their own companies and shareholder value that our damage isn't quite as visible yet? I mean, just look at the semi-recent history of Warner Bros. alone…

For the last month I have woken up, gone outside, basked in sunlight, made some coffee, drank it, grit my teeth and started up my phone to see if SCOTUS had ruled on Haaland v. Brackeen yet, kickstarting a new GOP movement to steal Native children & undermine tribal sovereignty.
The Brackeens were White grandparents who wanted to adopt their Native grandchild after their white parent was killed and their Native parent had a drug problem. The case tugs at the heartstrings. If that's all you knew, you'd be inclined to think they were in the right.

Awww, that’s cute! Lil Marco thinks there’s going to be another Republican president! Let me catch you up, bro: your base of Silents & Boomers (60% GOP) is old and dying. Gen Z is 65% Dem. Y’all are finished. There won’t be a next Republican president because you elected Trump.
Specifically, 15M Silents & Boomers will die between 2020-2024,replaced by 17.8M Gen Z voters who vote diametrically opposite. That’s a 6M vote MINIMUM swing if Gen Z -ONLY- votes at Millennial levels. But in 2022, they voted at a far higher rate and zeroed out the Boomer vote.

Very easy to pledge that you will pardon Trump if you become President when you know with 100% certitude you won't even place in the top 5 Republicans challenging Trump for the GOP Nomination.
Similarly, if I win $100 Billion in the lottery, I promise to give one billion of my winnings to @VivekGRamaswamy to run for a position he's actually qualified for, like the Mayor of South Bend, Indiana or something similar.

@kabirakhtar@Anusien@stevendeknight OP is saying your union lets the studios craft the legal language of your deal and they included "Generative AI" the same way they introduced a highly specific word to our 2008 WGA contract which we BELIEVED covered Streaming TV & Films, which was the word "Subscriber-supported."
@kabirakhtar@Anusien@stevendeknight That was the last time the WGA allowed AMPTP lawyers to parse a vernacular agreement into legalese. Why? Because they knew in advance that they had secret plans to someday introduce Ad-supported VOD (AVOD), and they included the S as a way to distinguish it from SVOD & cheat us.

It really is quite impressive this moment we're at. For the last 45 years, unions have been a dirty word in the US. Republicans, long the party of the wealthy, have tarred unions as criminal organizations, all of them controlled by the Mafia...
Starting with Jimmy Carter, Democrats abandoned unions and strove instead to get campaign donations from corporations, a policy eagerly embraced by Bill Clinton who paid them back via deregulation (leading to mega-mergers, bank failures, and neverending corporate scandals)…

The funniest part of this story is that Biden TRIED to make non-compete-clauses illegal in employment contracts back in January, and the GOP fought him tooth-and-nail. Now their racist hero has been hoist on his own petard. #GoTucker! Get sued! Go broke! nytimes.com/2023/06/12/bus…
Pure Comedy: "Justin Wells, Mr. Carlson’s former executive producer, said on Twitter that the next episode of Mr. Carlson’s show, expected on Tuesday, would feature Mr. Carlson’s response to the indictment of former President Donald J. Trump." #GoTucker
