Hello, I’m from the labor movement. I co-founded Coworker and now I work at the Center for Labor and a Just Economy at Harvard Law School. (She/Her)

Perfect encapsulation of what private equity does to everything it touches. Rampant wage theft and, based on my own experience at the park this year, total chaos at concessions. Machines were broken, they were out of basic items like ketchup, etc.

Brooklyn Cyclones management acknowledged they had failed to pay employees the appropriate amount of tips and reimbursed at least one employee for lost wages, following a recent investigation by The City Reporter.

our entire global financial system is currently leveraged to the hilt on the premise that it was good and right for a small cadre of US companies to steal all of the intellectual work ever produced by humanity and sell its back to us without credit or remuneration to the authors (plagiarism)

Started using my airline points to do upgrades on short flights for work trips (say to Boston or Chicago) entirely because if I'm in first class I can get help when a flight is cancelled or delayed. That's the only reason. No luxury, just buying basic decency when something goes wrong.

I’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.

We just finished the first World Cinema Boxset and I was particularly struck by how Scorsese says he encountered Trances (Ahmed El Maanouni, 1981) on TV during downtime while editing The King of Comedy. He praises AI for speeding up the process, but if the process was fast you'd never seen Trances.
