Just a few months ago, the Times and WaPo reporters would be here lecturing you that only THEY can cover the news and we need them.
They sure got quiet these past 2 months, didn't they?
Remember when he faked a meeting with UAW members during the campaign?Any union member who voted for trump should be thrown out of the union if you ask me.
Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez Zeferino, a 25-year-old farmworker activist and union leader does not have legal authorization to reside in the United States, as evidenced by the 2018 removal order and his recent detention by ICE. If they don't get you on your taxes, they get you on your legal status.
You know I'm honestly waiting for any notification form FUN about what we're doing in response and I haven't gotten anything. There's relative silence from the labor movement in general — and that seems like a really bad sign. Hoping things turn around.
Counter point is he is using the EOs to drive a narrative he wants and are all likely illegal and not take effect so is it really news to report on them being released as he wants, rather wait when they are challenged/overturned.
Remember all the headlines about student loan debt cancellation?
Not an easy choice of how and which to cover, but Bannon's strategy is to flood the zone, get news to chase things while losing the war on what they are actually doing
With most having some level of challenge or capitulation, choices need to be made. I agree many outlets suck at this and I don't trust the spin WAPO/LATIMES/NYT put on any of this and particularly would consider any labor reporting by WAPO as anti-union spin
Mainstream news will not keep you informed in these dark times, they only care about saving themselves and lulling the masses into complacency and a false sense of security, long live new media the only people brave enough to tell the truth
P.s. what is considered safe drinking what in the US might not considered safe in many other parts of the world too.
The US is the country with the acceptable number of insect fragments in chocolate
Glad that NPR and some papers are picking it up — it's on the front of WaPo in small print. Someone said they saw it on the front of NYT though I'm not seeing it
Yes—and barely a breath about Trump rolling back the Corporate Transparency Act and FinCEN removing Beneficial Ownership Reporting Requirements for U.S. Companies and U.S. Persons, either. Tax Havens are saved!! Yippee.
This is the quietest raping of a country in history.
We've been told for so long that a wealth tax wouldn't work, that neither party will even discuss it. Perhaps we wouldn't need one, if not for offshore accounting...
I'm not sure why we keep being surprised or outraged that it's not. Two of these are blatant propaganda outlets and we need to stop treating them like they're still vaunted institutions.
Labor and citizens are the easiest to
victimize. Unions should have been out front
on this from the beginning but I think their
leadership has been compromised. Unions
are the last group with power that could stop
all this madness if they wanted to!

(They should absolutely call a general strike)

What's he get from the destruction? What he's doing is evil and deranged. Why hurt more people?
After all that’s one of many reasons they did so much to get Trump re-installed.
