Today in history, 1933: The German Reichstag passes the Enabling Act, overriding constitutional checks and balances and giving Hitler and his Cabinet the power to make and enforce laws. It was the pivotal step in Germany’s transition to a Nazi dictatorship. /1

UAW International President, Shawn Fain, and US Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders speak to a crowd of nearly 10k people in a working class detroit suburb, and one of the largest local dailies doesn’t print a peep about it. Shameful.

The AFL-CIO in 2000 set the goal of unionizing 1 million workers yearly.
Labor should re-adopt this pledge, which is really the bare minimum required:
If 1 million new workers joined unions yearly, it would still take about 40 years to get US union density back to 1955 levels.

Americans work longer hours, leave more vacation days on the table, and feel more stressed than European workers. Meanwhile, the rich get richer off our labor. It's time to rest without the guilt.

The birthright citizenship portion of the US Constitution is totally, inarguably unambiguous. No wiggle room. If the supreme court agrees to throw it out they are explicitly throwing out the entire document and our entire system of government.

E-bikes are the EVs we need.
“Compared to self-driving cars, and just about any other mobility mode, e-bikes have flourished…If 2023’s trendline continues, the humble e-bike, not the flashy self-driving car, will be poised to reconfigure American transportation.” — @davidzipper.bsky.social
