Not a single one in that picture supports labor unions, workers rights or raising the minimum wage.
They are being glorified for ushering in technologies that will yield historic unemployment and decimate the working class.

So happy that Bernie is on the AI case.
Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.
Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.
Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Mitch McConnell's entire career was devoted to weakening the Senate in order to give power to a christofascist court, and now he's succeeded and the result is that a man he absolutely loathes has been granted dictatorial power in the name of christofascism.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I figure this'll be an essential one for everybody trying to respond in Minneapolis right now.
Our last episode of the year is a conversation about what resisting ICE has looked like in Chicago, what we've learned, what it's cost, and where we go from here. I'm so grateful to Gabe Gonzalez, Rey Wences, and Jocelyn Walsh for this convo. This one is special to me. Audio + transcript:

Imagine serving as a Marine and then having a distinguished career in the FBI investigating actual terrorist threats and then having to go in front of Congress and say you’re afraid of Antifa. Absolutely humiliating.

Western Washington is currently experiencing record flooding from a series of strong atmospheric rivers. 12 rivers are at major flood stage. 100,000 people await evacuation orders.
Will some places see less severe climate impacts than others? Yes. Does anywhere promise safe haven? Absolutely not.
Will some places see less severe climate impacts than others? Yes. Does anywhere promise safe haven? Absolutely not.
Climate migration is difficult to study, and even harder to predict, because a complex constellation of factors guides the decision to pick up and move. But some experts say a historic population shift has already begun, and Western Washington should start preparing now to become a “climate haven.”
Is the Pacific Northwest ready for a wave of climate migration?
