fresh audio product: • Jason Wade of the UAW explains the union’s endorsement of Trump’s auto tariffs • Sam Gindin, former long-time adviser to what used to be known as the Canadian Autoworkers Union, on what issues the tariff controversy obscures www.leftbusinessobserver.com/Radio.html#S...

Always great to talk to @niedermeyer.online, but it’s especially fun when his insights help explain tangible ways people can deliver a blow to Elon Musk’s power. Check out the new episode!

What a world Lula: "We are living in a time of increasing anguish, frustration, tension, fear" Trump: “We will restore peace, stability & harmony throughout the world" @iliasalami.bsky.social @danieldenvir.bsky.social & I chat about global harmony and peace! thedigradio.com/podcast/glob...

Probably the most sinister and dangerous thing an American official has ever contemplated.

Looking forward to deepening my understanding of these absolute sociopathic freaks who now govern the United States. @quinnslobodian.com coming soon to @thedigradio.bsky.social

It really feels like the Steelers organization has no idea what they are trying to accomplish. Really sad to see as a kid who grew up in the late 1970s in Pittsburgh.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Hear the sirens. If the warfare state replaces the welfare state, this will further fuel the extreme right. More countries falling in the hands of extreme right nationalists would weaken Europe in an existential way.

How a landing program engineered to boost affordable housing turned into a federal subsidy for private equity www.levernews.com/the-looting-...

This was a great episode. A grounded conversation on why Musk is where it is and how we (yes, we) can dethrone him. Highly recommended.

A pathetic and humiliating walkback from the would-be destroyers of CFPB, who know they've lost in court and can't kill the agency. This email from Mark Paoletta went to employees today. It neglects Vought's Feb 10 "stop-work" email that superseded it, ending all activity with no exceptions.

Gene Hackman. A legend.

@joehagantv.bsky.social are you the Joe Hagan that wrote the piece on Bill Fox? If so, thank you.

Terrible choice. Adams is utterly corrupt and compromised. New York deserves better than both he and Hochul.

An unreleased Bill Fox tune: “Men Who Are Guilty of Crimes.” youtu.be/97Jz8QkF5ew?...

this Adrienne Rich poem from the @yalereview.bsky.social archives sucker punched me this am

If you hear any noise, it’s just me and the boys boppin’ to Bill Fox and his entire catalog.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Worth a listen or three to hear Bill Fox sing, play, and wax about the process. youtu.be/6cEBeisaBm8?...

Bill Fox has a new album coming out❤️🙌🏻❤️

Dump Adams. Just do it.

i will say that when I wrote this series four years ago I was going for something closer to parody than documentary www.thenation.com/article/econ...

If you missed tonight’s town hall with @naomiaklein.bsky.social, @chenjerai.bsky.social, @astra.bsky.social, and @keeanga.bsky.social on resisting the shock and awe politics of the far right and their billionaire enthusiasts, you can watch the video here:

Right now, DOGE is saying that any new hires have to be approved by their office. In 1980, when IL Governor Thompson said any new hires had to be approved by his office, the Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional politicization of hiring. What about now? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Despite being inundated by the press, I couldn’t care less about Lorne Michaels.

That would be like $1200 in Brooklyn.

Been speaking about this constantly. We cannot divide, or get distracted. We need solidarity. inthesetimes.com/article/bill...

Gilbert Lake, on the Kearsarge Pass trail out of Independence (via the Onion Valley road), in California's Eastern Sierra (2024). An easy day hike up to the pass itself; I try to do it every year. #photography #landscapephotography #OwensValley #California #SierraNevada #outdoors #mountains

An excellent discussion.

Living in Ohio? Specifically the Cleveland area…anyone have thoughts?

Pushing live production code cooked up by some young coders over a week of sleepness nights in place of a legacy system that is fundamental to the operation of the US government is against every programming best practice.

Great episode as always👂🏼⬆️

It’s the cost of housing, dummies. youtu.be/4sDco3zJ0eE?...

Drop Site has been an important source of news coming out of Gaza since its inception. Thank you all for your excellent reporting.

I had a great time talking @danieldenvir.bsky.social of The Dig about the UHC CEO killing; inequality and mystified violence; gun violence and "healthcare" as indifferent, overlapping systems of human disposability; the history of "attentants"; morbid symptoms, the death drive, and much more

US doesn’t know how to do infrastructure unless it is a private stadium without public transit access.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

I’m seeing drones in New Egypt, New Jersey this evening.

Joe Bidens pardoning a corrupt 72 year old judge who fed thousands of children into our nightmarish carceral system demonstrates that he does indeed have some notion of solidarity
