#KevinMcCarthy losing the #SpeakerofTheHouse job today was part of the deal #WGAEast negotiated for #SethMeyers & #StephenColbert.

Just remember, the jokes DON'T write themselves #WGAStrong.

I'm looking forward to what
Mike Scollins, Alex Baze and Sal Gentile write for Seth Meyers tonight!

'We Did It! Ex-WGAW President Howard A. Rodman Weighs in on Screenwriters' New Contract'

The WGA win (which still needs to be ratified by membership vote) is a huge signal of the power of organized labour as the main tool to fight back against runaway capitalism.

Hopefully this cascades into more union drives, more worker rights, and more acknowledgement that the people who actually create products are where the value lies, rather than with executives and stockholders.
