I wrote about UNION, the gripping and much-needed documentary about the Amazon Labor Union, and why it hasn't gotten a distribution deal (spoiler: Bezos has too much money/power). You can stream it on Gathr this weekend and you should! slate.com/culture/2024...

A good moment to read Unbuild Walls (still free to download from Haymarket)… on the existing overlap of the criminal legal and immigration systems in the US:
