Sad news. Barbara Ehrenreich, my one and only mother, died on September 1, a few days after her 81st birthday. She was, she made clear, ready to go. She was never much for thoughts and prayers, but you can honor her memory by loving one another, and by fighting like hell.

It still shocks me that the biggest US climate bill of all time earmarked *zero* dollars for greening public schools, which 50 *million* students attend daily. Even when half those schools need major repairs. And are in desperate need of climate justice. abc7.com/12191406/

I stand in solidarity with the 15,000 Minnesota Nurses on strike this week fighting for safer care, fair scheduling, and higher wages. Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They understand what’s best for their patients. x.com/mnnurses/statu…

⚡️ BREAKING ⚡️ 1,000 fast-food workers at San Francisco International Airport are on strike. Most of us haven't had a raise in three years, and we're tired of working two or even three jobs just to survive. So we're fighting back. #1u #AirportStrikeAlert #unitehere

Universities pay staggering salaries to Presidents, Chancellors, VPs and provosts by the dozens, etc and in every administrative office there is a 57 year old woman named Peggy with a title like "Admin Assistant II" and that's the person who actually runs the university.

NEW STUDY: Being in a union means a $1.3 million increase in lifetime earnings – larger than the average gains from getting a college degree.

Lula’s narrow victory is still a massive win for Brazil: for its working class, its Black and Indigenous communities, and against fascism. It’s also a win for the Amazon and the planet itself—and thus v good news for the multiracial working class of the whole world.

Biden very quickly out with a statement congratulating Lula, a signal to Brazilian elite not to try anything funny. A truly strange moment: the US working against a potential right wing coup in South America.

It seems fitting that Twitter, which showed us all how stupid rich people actually are, is going out with one final spectacular illustration of exactly that

Pretty wild something that is clearly a public utility can be single handedly destroyed by a bored unfunny emerald mine heir in less than 60 days.

NEW: Chad Loder (Chad Loder), an outspoken antifascist activist in Los Angeles, has been suspended. This comes amid a recent wave of restorations of far-right accounts and the open mulling of a blanket reinstatement of all banned accounts by Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

In Missouri the new year started with it becoming a crime to sleep on state-owned land. That means streets, parks and beneath bridges and overpasses. You‘ll be fined $750 and face 15 days in jail. In other words poverty is criminalized in Missouri.

BREAKING -- In an important win for labor in the South, workers at a Trader Joe's in Louisville vote 48 to 36 in favor of unionizing. They overcame the company's anti-union campaign to become the third TJ's in the country to unionize after stores in Hadley, Mass., & Minneapolis.
