Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News.
Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever.

Any non-union activist groups calling for a general strike need to stop what they’re doing and shift to supporting @aflcio.org @seiu.org and other official labor groups with the actual money, resources and infrastructure to empower mass collective action.
BREAKING NEWS:
In a massive lawsuit, the AFL-CIO has SUED the Treasury Department:
“for their unlawful…disclosure of personal and financial information…to Elon Musk and other members of the so-called ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE).”

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”
If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Activists calling for a general strike would be much more useful finding a local labor movement and support that. Anything else right now is trying to scale a wall with no scaffolding.

Friends, I understand the urge to unplug from the media, but I never would have known my Rep was funded by “school choice” millionaires if my local newspaper wouldn’t have reported it.
We need folks on the ground covering school board meetings and city council meetings and commissioner reports.

Biden's NLRB has made it easier for workers to unionize and cracked down on anti-union practices like captive audience meetings.
Like his first term, Trump's NLRB will likely be staffed with union-busting hacks who will reverse these gains.

So weird how it's considered totally normal to say the word "twice", but if you say the word "thrice" you sound like a medieval traveller seeking to gain access to the dragon's realm.

There are more practical and less bloody options for improving your employee offered insurance, like unionizing.
Michigan Medicine offers its employees a zero deductible plan with low monthly premiums-probably the best plan in MI - and our unions protect that.

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law.
The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.
This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.

The way the wealthy establishment demands our weary working class sympathy for Brian Thompson is selfish and grotesque.
This was my mom’s letter denying radiation 4 months bf she died. She spent her last birthday in the hospital that June.
These people can get fucked.
