Some insight into what tactics are used to break up union power. They WILL try to convince you a strike hurts more than helps, that you are better off accepting their terms. This will happen in a General Strike. There will be an onslaught of tactics to disempower strikers. We have to be ready.

this is so utterly depraved it’s hard to even criticize. liberals love to jump on conservatives for living in a parallel universe but this is as bad as anything you’d hear from OANN or Newsmax or Townhall. worse.

In 2020, we launched The Lever from scratch. This week, The Lever won the National Press Club Award & our reporting dominated Capitol Hill in two high profile events. It's been an amazing 5 years. Thanks to our subscribers who make our work possible. We're just getting started.

Good to hear AI will help me reduce my carbon footprint, as I've been running my microwave for 19 hours a day for the last three years and have yet to receive a single video of a dog speaking Spanish.

This is a huge award - past winners were The Boston Globe & ABC News. The fact that our reader-supported news outlet is this year's winner is a BIG milestone for independent media. I'm so grateful to The Lever's paying subscribers who've built us into a full newsroom. We couldnt do it without you.

Luddites weren't anti-tech. They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker. I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.

Sorry but this is revisionist history that plays into the tech industry's own stupid ethos. Every generation has had major bullshit artists and scammers. Does no one remember the 90s? Does no one remember Quibi

cannot believe how many people argue "democrats lose elections because some strangers online hurt my feelings" and aren't immediately mocked out of public life

And also... NO, MOST PEOPLE CAN SEE IT. This is not just an exercise is creating a false equivalence between genocide and two murders, it's also about smearing the entire pro-Palestine movement as being as morally deranged as the pro-genocide crowd.

i think it’s interesting that random podcasters are “the left” but none of these people seem to care that JD Vance actively pals around with internet nazis

The depravity here cannot be overstated. A recent poll found: - 82% of Israelis support forced removal of Palestinians from Gaza - 56% support forced removal of Arab Israeli citizens - 47% support IDF murdering *all* inhabitants of enemy cities they occupy www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

Ignoring food safety to “cut costs” is like throwing out your smoke alarm to save batteries.    The USDA just fired the professionals who help prevent E. coli and listeria outbreaks. Stupid and incredibly dangerous.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

At Chicago’s immigration court. Just witnessed masked ICE agents seize two men immediately after DHS dismissed their cases and motioned for expedited removal. Unfortunately, recording is prohibited & ICE had security threaten to call “federal police” when they thought maybe that happened.

Elon's class interests and your class interests will always be at odds. He has capital. You have debt. He has power. You pay his salary and for him to own stocks.

There won't ever be a "Liberal Joe Rogan" or anyone reaching outside the liberal sphere if the only folks who are ever platformed as the Voice Of Liberals are the same cadre of Democratic pundits, media elites & lifestyle liberals who alienated an entire generation of independents.
