There is a text that has all the things Trump is planning to do printed in it. About the same length as Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. We got it ahead of time. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills right now. Is everyone okay? #readingisfundamental

A wake-up call on Amazon and labor movement strategy from my terrific colleagues Ben Fong and Jonathan Rosenblum. This challenge can be met, the question is: will it be met. Most laborist discussion isn't even beginning to have this discussion. jacobin.com/2025/01/amazon…

“How do we not only take care of our union members... but also how do we go out into the community... where our members live and recruit our friends and family into allied health care jobs so that they can come and work side by side?”

“One common feature of many of the strategies discussed [in the new report] is a willingness to experiment with new organizational forms. Unions are limited, legally and organizationally, in many ways, and they can be greatly aided by an eclectic organizational network”
