When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History

The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

Honored to be speaking at this event to represent the leftist Italian American community we’re building here in NYC through Italians for Zohran AND to talk about the importance of organizing your workplace to protect coworkers against ICE and build long term union power toward a general strike ✊

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

today in NYT, an interview where the writers declared we are past the “brutal Condé Nast of yesteryear.” Of course, no acknowledgment of the illegal firings or targeted layoffs beyond an aside about Teen Vogue being “folded into” Vogue’s website

Early this week I apologized in a chat as the only Minnesotan for spamming (ha ha, reference) with our latest news seemingly every 45 minutes, and it was deeply validating to be told straight up "No, please keep us updated. We know the news isn't telling the full story. We need to know the truth."

I truly appreciate how many check-in messages I've had from friends around the world and/but it's weird how I'm getting accustomed to providing two-sentence updates on some of the bleakest shit I have seen in my life

I was on my dear friend @mariadip.bsky.social’s podcast talking about freaks & geeks 🥹 it was so much fun I’ve seen the show like 40 times you should watch it, and if you have, listen to our pod cast!

✨EP 40 OUT NOW✨ @mariadip.bsky.social is joined by fellow union comrade and Freaks and Geeks superfan Margaret McCaughlin to break down the political themes of the show’s one and only season, which is firmly set in the 1980-1981 school year. #FreaksandGeeks

a stylized light blue collage-y episode cover with an image of Lindsay Weir on Freaks and Geeks standing up to ask a question of the vice president of the U.S. and the intersex character Amy playing her tuba at the same assembly; along with text: “Leftist Teen Drama,” “Inside the Fleeting Yet Inherently Political World of ‘Freaks and Geeks’” Feat Margaret McCaughlin” and “Ep 40.”
