Pat also has words for Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's disastrous White House visit. 17:46-40:01: Hamilton Nolan Interview Labor Writer Hamilton Nolan joins Pat to talk more about why Trump's Tariff Con isn't about helping the working class.

“I did not start out as a writer interested in organized labor,” Hamilton Nolan writes in The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor; “I started out as a writer interested in why America was so fucked up. Why did we have such gargantuan levels of inequality? Why were thousands of homeless people living in the streets of cities where billionaires frolicked in penthouses? Why was it that certain classes of people worked hard their entire lives and stayed poor, just as their parents had been, and just as their children seemed doomed to be? Even while labor unions had fallen almost completely out of the public mind, it turned out that they were central to all our most fundamental problems.” In this live episode of Working People, recorded at Red Emma's cooperative bookstore, cafe, and community events space in Baltimore on Dec. 6, 2024, Max speaks with Nolan about his new book, what the ongoing war on workers' rights and unions tells us about the “fucked up” society we're living in, and what lessons labor can teach us now about how to fight and win, even in the darkest of times. Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL–CIO, also makes a special guest appearance in the second half of the episode.  Additional links/info below… Hamilton's website, Facebook page, and X page Hamilton Nolan, Hachette Books, The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor Red Emma's website, Facebook page, and Instagram David Dayen, In These Times, “Meet the militant flight attendant leader who threatened a strike—and helped stop Trump's shutdown” Permanent links below… Leave us a voicemail and we might play it on the show!

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Hamilton Nolan, labor writer at In These Times and author of the How Things Work newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent book The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor. First, Emma runs through updates on Harris' recent sit-down on Fox, Lina Khan's role at the FTC under Biden, polling, Israel's ongoing offensives and genocide in Gaza, US aid to Israel, Biden's EPA, Georgia's election shenanigans, Jimmy Carter's age 100 ballot, DeSantis' war on Florida's abortion ballot measure, and a landmark settlement over the LA Catholic Church's systemic sexual abuse, before diving a little deeper into assessments of Harris' antagonistic interview on Fox. Hamilton Nolan then joins, diving right into the tight-knit and interdependent relationship between social movements and the institutions that cement the progress these movements seek, unpacking the central role labor unions have played as a ground zero for channeling the energy of social unrest into concrete political progress. After expanding on the disintegration of the state of labor in the US over the last 70 years, with even Biden – perhaps the most pro-union president over that time – overseeing a one-point drop in union rates, and the factors that drove that drop (namely staunch anti-union, anti-organizing, and pro-corporation legislation), Nolan steps back to explore how the environment that this dearth of union power has created makes it exceedingly difficult to push back against it, creating a completely asymmetrical battle between workers and corporations, and why the recent renaissance of labor consciousness – bolstered by folks like Sarah Nelson, Shawn Fian, and Felix Allen – must be capitalized on not just through legislation, by but widening and organizing the millions of Americans that still exist outside of these institutions, something essential to maintaining the progress that these unions can cement. Hamilton and Emma also touch on the major role labor is playing in pushing back against the anti-democratic (and anti-labor) urges of US imperialism, wrapping up the interview by exploring the changing image of the American worker (and the American union member), and why that must be embraced. Emma also touches on Trump's egotistic and anti-social musings about the state of immigration under Biden-Harris. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton as they talk with El Connipción from San Antonio about Ethan Klein and the conflation of Zionism and Judaism, watch Ezra Klein respond truly horrendously to Ta-Nehisi Coates challenging his inherent biases, and discuss the hypocrisy of White Supremacist rhetoric with Todd from Raleigh. Elon and Tucker bond over being complete and utter charlatans, while Krystal Ball does her best to unpack exactly Saager Enjeti is an idiot, plus, your calls and IMs!

We interview labor reporter Hamilton Nolan, author of The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor about the recent rise in union organizing, the trouble with the big unions, and the bizarre fact that Donald Trump enjoys strong support among union members.

If we're talking about negotiating for higher income without talking about labor organizing, we're outright ignoring one of the most powerful determinants of how people are paid. This week on the show, you'll hear from two people: an anonymous 20-year veteran of publicly traded, multinational corporate human relations who believes the “at-will employment” structure in the US is the core of our systemic insecurity, as well as renowned labor journalist Hamilton Nolan, who advocates tirelessly for union density as the best way forward.  Transcripts, show notes, production credits, and more can be found at: https://moneywithkatie.com/unions. Money with Katie's mission is to be the intersection where the economic, cultural, and political meet the tactical, practical, personal finance education everyone needs.

Labor journalist Hamilton Nolan on the labor movement past, present and future and his new book “The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor.” Recorded live at the eighth annual Reuther-Pollack Labor History Symposium on August 31 in Wheeling, West Virginia. Music by the Pittsburgh Labor Choir.  On this week's Labor History in Two: The year was 1970; that was the day 350,000 GM workers kicked off a 67-day strike. Questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com Labor History Today is produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor.

Walter Reuther's name is forever linked to Detroit, Michigan, where he and his brother Victor built the United Automobile Workers -- the UAW -- into one of the largest and most progressive labor unions in American history. In Wheeling, West Virginia, where he was born on September 1, 1907, Reuther is a hometown boy who made good. Each year for the last eight years, the Wheeling Academy of Law and Science Foundation (WALS) has organized the Reuther-Pollack Labor History Symposium on Labor Day weekend. The annual event also celebrates the life and work of local stogie maker -- and union supporter -- Augustus Pollack. LHT producers Chris Garlock and Patrick Dixon drove out to Wheeling last Friday to cover the symposium, which included presentations by “Shift Happens” author J. Albert Mann, labor journalist Hamilton Nolan, West Virginia Mine Wars Museum co-founder Lou Martin and the Pittsburgh Labor Choir. We'll be sharing audio from those presentations in upcoming shows. West Virginia historian Hal Gorby led a walking tour on Saturday to statues of both Reuther and Pollack in a park along the Ohio River in downtown Wheeling. The noontime walk was interrupted by an intense but thankfully brief mountain thunderstorm, so you'll hear the rain and thunder in the background as we took shelter and the intrepid Dr. Gorby continued his local history talk beneath his oversized umbrella. On this week's Labor History in Two:  the year was 1921. On that day the “Battle of Blair Mountain” raged in Logan County, West Virginia.  Questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com Labor History Today is produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor. @FoundationWals @hamiltonnolan @JAlbertMann @WarsWV @UAW_Archivist @ReutherLibrary #LaborRadioPod #History #WorkingClass #ClassStruggle @GeorgetownKILWP #LaborHistory @UMDMLA @ILLaborHistory @AFLCIO @StrikeHistory #LaborHistory @wrkclasshistory

Arielle Klagsbrun of the All Eyes on Yass Campaign on the insufficiently known right-wing moneybags Jeff Yass • Sohrab Ahmari and Hamilton Nolan debate the existence, real or imagined, of pro-worker Republicans The post Who's Jeff Yass, and more on those allegedly pro-worker Republicans appeared first on KPFA.

Inequality is America's biggest problem. Unions are the single strongest tool that working people have to fix it. Organized labor has been in decline for decades. Yet it sits today at a moment of enormous opportunity. In the wake of the pandemic, a highly visible wave of strikes and new organizing campaigns have driven the popularity of unions to historic highs. The simmering battle inside of the labor movement over how to tap into its revolutionary potential--or allow it to be squandered--will determine the economic and social course of American life for years to come. In chapters that span the country, Nolan shows readers the actual places where labor and politics meld. He highlights how organized labor can and does wield power effectively: a union that dominates Las Vegas and is trying to scale nationally; a successful decades-long campaign to organize California's child care workers; the human face of a surprising strike of factory workers trying to preserve their pathway to the middle class. Throughout, Nolan follows Sara Nelson, the fiery and charismatic head of the flight attendants' union, as she struggles with how (and whether) to assert herself as a national leader, to try to fix what is broken. The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor (Hachette Books, 2024) draws the line from forgotten workplaces in rural West Virginia to Washington's halls of power, and shows how labor solidarity can utterly transform American politics--if it can first transform itself. A labor journalist for more than a decade, Nolan helped unionize his own industry. The Hammer is a urgent on-the-ground excavation of the past, present, and future of the American labor movement. Hamilton Nolan is a labor journalist who writes regularly for In These Times magazine and The Guardian. He has written about labor, politics, and class war for The New York Times, the Washington Post, Gawker, Splinter, and other publications. He was the longest-serving writer in Gawker's history, and was a leader in unionizing Gawker Media in 2015. Hamilton is a proud member of the Writers Guild of America, East.

Pour faire le point sur l'actu des médias en mai 2024, j'ai reçu à mon micro mon compère et désormais habitué, Cyrille Frank : fondateur de Médiaculture, directeur de la formation chez Cosavostra, et éditeur de la newsletter Mediarama. L'occasion de féliciter The Atlantic pour son million d'abonné•es et sa rentabilité atteinte. Cyrille nous partage les 4 conditions pour réussir à convertir ses lecteurs en abonnés. Mais on ne s'arrête pas là et notre conversation se poursuit sur la victoire des médias français contre X à propos des droits voisins, le nouvel outil “web eraser” d'Apple et l'IA. Au programme de la Pastille Actu du jour : # Les 4 conditions pour réussir à convertir ses lecteur•rices en abonné•es : produire des contenus qualitatifs ; “bien” écrits et “bien” présentés ; utiles et, finalement, exclusifs # The Atlantic a atteint la rentabilité financière grâce à son million d'abonné•es payant•es. Un succès que Nicholas Thompson (PDG) explique par : une focus pour convertir les lecteurs en abonnés, un journalisme de haute qualité une diversification des sources de revenus. # Le 23 mai 2024, la justice a donné raison au groupe Le Figaro dans un litige concernant les droits voisins contre le réseau social X (anciennement Twitter). Ce jugement fait suite à l'assignation en référé par plusieurs médias qui reprochaient à X de refuser de négocier une rémunération pour l'utilisation de leurs contenus. # Le nouvel outil d'Apple « web eraser » prévu dans la prochaine version d'iOS 18, qui bloque les publicités dans Safari, menace la viabilité financière du journalisme. # NewsCorp signe un deal de 250 millions de dollars sur 5 ans avec OpenAI, critiqué par le journaliste Hamilton Nolan. # Paris Match sera cédé à LVMH. # C8 perd de l'argent malgré de bons chiffres d'audience en raison, notamment, d'un choix éditorial tourné vers l'actualité et d'un vieillissement de son audience. # De nouveaux médias, comme L'Express, Ouest-France ou encore Le Media, ont présenté leur candidature à l'ARCOM pour la réattribution des fréquences de la TNT, d'ici la fin de l'année 2024.

The labor movement is in a state of flux. Support for unions is the highest it's been in decades, including the explict support of the Biden administration, yet actual union membership has plummeted to a historical low. With only 10% of the workforce unionized, is the labor movement missing its best chance to organize more workers? This week Adam sits with Hamilton Nolan, labor journalist and author of The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor, to reconcile the popular support of unions with the grim reality of declining membership. They discuss what led to the current moment we find ourselves in, and the best strategies for workers to find solidarity no matter their trade.

Ralph welcomes labor journalist Hamilton Nolan to discuss his latest book, "The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor". They'll get into why some of the biggest names in organized labor have gotten so bad at organizing labor, and they'll highlight the labor organizers who are effectively wielding power. Then, Ralph is joined by child advocate and original Nader's Raider Robert Fellmeth to discuss the dangers of online anonymity. Plus, a creative call to action from Ralph!Hamilton Nolan is a labor journalist who writes regularly for In These Times magazine and The Guardian. He has written about labor, politics, and class war for The New York Times, the Washington Post, Gawker, Splinter, and other publications. He was the longest-serving writer in Gawker's history, and was a leader in unionizing Gawker Media in 2015. His new book is The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor.A quality of the labor movement that I think makes the labor movement special and distinct from other movements and other political parties is that the labor movement acts to give people power. The labor movement does not necessarily tell people what to do. The labor movement instills people with power. Hamilton NolanMore and more non-unionized workers know that a lot of what they get positively in the workplace is due to the few workers who are unionized. And the companies—wanting to avoid being unionized—up the wages, improve the working conditions, maybe fulfill more of the pension reserve requirements. So the second–order effects of unionism—which has been so long misunderstood, largely due to propaganda— has been sinking in the minds of more and more non-union workers, and the approval of unions and the number of American workers who want to join unions has resurged. Ralph NaderYou know, it turns out that a half century of rising inequality does in fact piss people off at a certain point. And causes tens of millions of American workers to say that they want something better—that they want what the labor movement has to offer.Hamilton NolanFor many, many years, organized labor has had a very unhealthy relationship with electoral politics. You're in a two-party system and the [Republican] Party wants to destroy unions and crush them off the face of the earth. And the Democratic Party's attitude has basically been—we're the only game in town and so give us money, and we won't try to kill you, but we won't really do too much to help you either. Hamilton NolanAnother thing unions can do with their money is— instead of sending it to Joe Biden's campaign—use it to organize workers. The choice is not just between Democrats and Republicans. We can take those resources and use it to organize workers, which will increase our political power in its own right.Hamilton NolanRobert Fellmeth is the Price Professor of Public Interest Law at the University of San Diego and the Executive Director of the Center for Public Interest Law. He is also Executive Director of the Children's Advocacy Institute, which authored The Fleecing of Foster Children: How We Confiscate Their Assets and Undermine Their Financial Security.The First Amendment is not just the right of the speaker to belch whatever…the audience has some rights there. The audience has a right to hear, to listen, to understand, and to know something about the speaker, because the idea behind speech is not simply making noise. It's to advance understanding, to advance knowledge. And therefore there should be a requirement that speakers identify who they are. And that allows the audience who are listening to decide whether they want to listen. Robert Fellmeth Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Does defending domestic workers have to come at the expense of immigrants? And does the shift on this issue reflect a larger rightward shift among online left commentators? The conversation broadens to include a debate on whether labor is disempowered by endorsing Biden, the efficacy of the Squad/DSA's electoral strategy, and whether labor organizing can be successful in the absence of true American labor party.

Julio and guest co-host Fernanda Santos discuss Gov. Ron DeSantis' alarming amendments to the Florida school curriculum regarding slavery. They also discuss the newest indictment against former President Donald Trump. In our roundtable, Lauren Kaori Gurley, labor reporter for the Washington post, and Dani Fernandez, writer and actor on strike, join Julio to talk about the Hollywood strikes and the labor movement in the United States. ITT Staff Picks:  “If you're wondering how Trump has survived as a candidate for office, you can look squarely at the conservative elites in politics and media,” writes Adam Serwer in this piece about Trump's indictment, for The Atlantic.  “The history we teach to students in the present is as much about the country we hope to be as it is a record of the country we once were. A curriculum that distorts the truth of past injustice is meant, ultimately, for a country that excludes in the present,” writes Jamelle Bouie in this opinion piece for The New York Times.  Hamilton Nolan writes about how the writers and actors participating in the Hollywood strikes are fighting a battle that all Americans will benefit from, in this article for The Guardian.

“Thousands of journalists across the country have been through their own union drives in the past five years or so. And it changes people…I mean, it obviously educates people and opens their eyes to how important labor is. And also you have people who are going through their own union busting campaigns. They're going through having to negotiate contracts with their own boss. And so it really has elevated the profile of unions in the news.” Hamilton Nolan American Labor Journalist Hamilton Nolan is an American journalist who writes on labor and politics in The Guardian (@Guardian), In These Times (@InTheseTimesMag), and the Columbia Journalism Review (@CJR). He previously wrote for Gawker and was part of the organizing efforts to win unionization. He is also writing his first book titled, Year of the Hammer that will be published in early 2024 by Hachette Books (hachettebooks.com).

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten joined the America's Work Force Union Podcast and discussed the state of America in the wake of Republican culture wars and recent school shootings. She also talked about her recent visit to Poland to provide educational opportunities for Ukrainian refugees.   Hamilton Nolan, a Labor Reporter for In These Times, appeared on the AWF Union Podcast and talked about why the AFL-CIO's goal to recruit 1 million new union members over the next decade lacks ambition and would actually lead to a decline in union density.

January 6th hearings are doing an exceptional job making it abundantly clear that Trump and those close to him were consciously planning a coup. And yet, the hearings also seem to have a side project of rehabilitating the Republican Party. Maybe Nancy Pelosi will get her wish of an even stronger GOP after all.  Key takeaways Day 2 and Day 3 AFL-CIO sets a goal of organizing a million new workers over the next 10 years. However, as Hamilton Nolan explains in In These Times, that's a nice soundbite but it sets the stage for further decline in union density.  The Labor Notes Conference gets underway in Chicago today.The Labor Notes Conference is the biggest gathering out there of grassroots union activists, worker center leaders, and all-around troublemakers. The recent stock market nose-dive has wiped out more than $3 trillion in retirement savings this year. One more example of the consequences of leaving retirement up to a glorified casino. The House always wins.  And remember that big bipartisan deal on new federal gun reform? Yeah, well, the big GOP “partner” on the talks, John Cornyn from Texas just walked away from negotiation and put any potential deal in question. Their self-imposed deadline was yesterday, before Senators went on vacation. But, vacation comes first.  The Wolf Administration is still trying to get $2000 checks out to Pennsylvanian, but state Republicans don't want you to have them.  State Senator Steve Santisiero becomes the new chair of the Bucks County Democrats. Can his leadership help right the ship?  Doug Mastriano introduced a bill in the State Senate Government Committee that would make it  law that "the liberty of a parent to direct the upbringing, education, care & welfare" of their child is "a fundamental right." PA legislature punts bills on gun reform. Gov. Wolf calling the move “shameful.” Democrats are trying to use a procedural motion to get a vote.  PASSHE Chancellor Greenstein announced a new funding scheme for remaining universities, but no one really seems to understand what the consequences will be. Par for the course, I guess. Space X employees draft letter criticizing Elon Musk. Musk goes ahead and fires at least five of them.  NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover spots trash on the Red Planet, reminding us all that wherever we go, we trash it up.  Launch of first D&D campaign - Lost Mine of Phandelver!

As we head into the third year of the pandemic, US workers are organizing and unionizing like it's the early days of the Industrial Revolution. But can they reverse decades of labor erosion in America? On the show to answer that question is labor reporter Hamilton Nolan, who joins Adam to talk about how the pandemic has changed the labor movement and what the future might hold.

In the darkest days of the Trump Whitehouse, the New York Times sold itself to the world as the last bastion of progressive ideals.Within the pages of "The Old Grey Lady" , the NYT kept rigorous watch on the excesses and madness of the Trump administration and its impact on society, as well as opining about the importance of protecting workers, jobs and ending inequality.So it might come as a shock to learn that The New York Times is running an aggressive anti-union campaign against its own workers.Hamilton Nolan is a journalist who has ben writing about how The New York Times, like many so called progressive institutions talk a good game, but all too regularly act very differently.Hamilton is our guest on this week's edition of "On the Job."

This week, we finally have to address the big ape with laser eyes smoking weed in the room and is worth over £5 million for some reason. Yes, we are talking about NFTs, the crypto economy, and what's driving this accelerated faith that bored apes and lazy lions are apparently going to rescue capitalism from itself. We're joined by Ryan Broderick (@Broderick) from The Content Mines and the Garbage Day Newsletter, to talk about why Mike Shinoda, the rapper from Linkin Park, seems to think they're the future. Then we talk about a recent-ish essay from Hamilton Nolan about what happens if or when the crypto economy fails. Nolan believes that the most likely outcome is probably reactionary fascism, but is this hyperbole? Or, could something worse actually happen instead? It's like a fun game to figure out what the dumbest way we could all die could be. ---- ---- You can read Hamilton Nolan's Essay here: https://inthesetimes.com/article/the-ticking-bomb-of-crypto-fascism -------- Subscribe to Ryan's Newsletter at : www.garbageday.email ----more----Ten Thousand Posts is a show about how everything is posting.

Skip to 24:00 to bypass the opening ramble.   Video version: https://youtu.be/TesMZ6KNtYI   As a former employee of TYT who was part of the union-organizing effort, I was dismayed when the company answered the union with aggressive union-busting tactics, first by rejecting card check, then using nearly every tactic in the union-busting playbook; but especially when they spread a deliberate lie that their workers were part of a conspiracy by Cenk Uygur's political opponent, Christy Smith, to harm his upcoming election for US House of Representatives in CA-25.   Our efforts began several months before Cenk launched his campaign and would have happened had our boss become a politician or not. IATSE endorsing Smith was 100% irrelevant to our right to organize collectively to demand respect and address long-simmering workplace issues, which is the actual truth the company was desperate to avoid.   The conspiracy was further signal-boosted by Ana Kasparian, who tweeted it was "done in bad faith" and was "extremely suspicious."   I watched in horror as the workers whose labor and talent the well-paid high-status careers of Cenk and Ana is built upon were thrown under the bus in order to protect the politician boss's political aspirations. It was heart-breaking, not just for its viciousness or its hypocrisy but for its effectiveness. Confusion, suspicion and malice spread among the TYT audience and satellite entities (Around The Nation, Humanist Report, Progressive Voice), all of whom were misled into questioning the motives of the workers at TYT, simply for the act of standing up as a group to exercise their right to form a labor union.   The trust and good faith of the audience was used against the workers and the only people in charge of the narrative so far has been those who conducted the union-busting campaign.   This podcast aims to change that. This is a worker's perspective.   It also raises the issue of the two management-side law firms TYT hired, as detailed in publicly-available filings with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) — Mitchel ,Silberberg & Knupp; and Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, which are explicitly pro-management anti-union operations.   The Young Turks' paying audience believes they are supporting the 'Home of Progressives,' which raises the question: Do they deserve to know if the money they send to TYT to fight for progressive values has been spent on these anti-worker law firms? If so, how much? The Young Turks was not honest when it spread the conspiracy attacking its own workers and it owes its audience a truthful accounting of what happened.   It owes its workers much much more.

A quick read of an article authored by Hamilton Nolan

Hamilton Nolan joins the show to elaborate on his article "Get Rid of No Strike Clauses and Stop Begging" written for In These Times. Nolan argues that the right to strike is the only thing that gives working people power. He identifies the weaknesses of organized labor within a paradigm of collective bargaining where surrendering the right to strike is the norm, and argues that in order to turn the tide of union power in the US it is necessary for rank and file union members to commit to reclaiming the strike and eliminating no strike clauses from their contracts.

In 2012, Tao Lin's literature website, Muumuu House published a short story called “Adrien Brody.” Written by the pseudonymous Marie Calloway, it recounted a tryst between a 21-year-old woman and a much older writer (with a girlfriend) in the Brooklyn leftist/literary scene. As people began to speculate about the real identity behind the titular character, a fiery debate started: Was this art, or was this an over-glorified Tumblr entry? Even critics who sided with Calloway, who enjoyed her writing, didn't evaluate the story for what it was: a piece of short fiction.If you Google “Marie Calloway + Adrien Brody,” it's easier to find critiques of the piece than the story itself. To this day, it seems as though Marie's writing is fated to be overshadowed by the conversation around it.On today's episode we finally give “Adrien Brody” the credit it's long deserved. Not as a political statement, not as a feminist act, not as an attempt at micro-fame, but as a work of confessional art that poignantly captured what it meant to sexually awaken in the early 2010s.(We love you, Marie.)Stories and articles referenced:Adrien Brody by Marie Calloway The New Bad Kids of Fiction by Stephen MarcheMicrofamed by Hamilton Nolan The Oversharers Win by Hamilton NolanThe Personal-Essay Boom is Over by Jia TolentinoInefficient Intimacy by Rob HorningMarie Calloway on Her New Novel and Being Called Jailbait by Lisa CarverTheme: Precocious Young Miss Calloway by Momus

The phrase “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” is buzz-word-ier than ever, but what does it really take to empower workers and reduce racialized harm in the places where we spend so many of our waking hours? And when is it OK to simply stop trying? In this second episode of a three-part series, guest host Alex Sujong Laughlin (Senior Producer at Transmitter Media) invites Gautam Srikishan (Producer at the On Being Project) and Snigdha Sur (Founder and CEO of The Juggernaut) to discuss their own experiences with creating more inclusive and equitable workplaces — whether that involves organizing your fellow workers into a union or breaking away from big media companies entirely to start your own workplace. Along the way, Snigdha, Gautam, and Alex also open up about how difficult it is to take on this responsibility... especially when it’s hard to see the results of your efforts.  Credits: Produced by James Boo and Julia Shu Edited by Julia Shu and James Boo Sound mix by Julia Shu and Timothy Lou Ly Self Evident theme music by Dorian Love Our Executive Producer is Ken Ikeda More From Today’s Guests Gautam Srikishan — @gsrikishan (Twitter), @floatingfast (Instagram) Snigdha Sur — @snigdhasur (Twitter), @_thejuggernaut (Instagram) Subscribe to The Juggernaut Check out this collection of “Labor Stories” recorded using the StoryCorps app Alex Sujong Laughlin — @alexlaughs (Twitter) Recommended Reading “How bosses are (literally) like dictators” by Elizabeth Anderson for Vox “Buzzfeed Layoffs and the False Promise of ‘Unions Aren’t For Us,’” Fast Company “StoryCorps, of all Places, Is Running an Anti-Union Campaign” by Hamilton Nolan for SPLINTER “The Aggressive Anti-Union Campaign at StoryCorps” By Stephanie Russel-Kraft for The Nation “Glass Walls” by James T.

Hamilton Nolan is a labor reporting fellow at In These Times. He has spent the past decade writing about labor, politics and a bit of boxing for Gawker, Splinter, The Guardian and elsewhere.

In this episode, all three hosts are joined by Hamilton Nolan to discuss all things labor and sport. Hamilton Nolan is a labor reporter for In These Times and the Columbia Journalism Review's public editor for the Washington Post. Previously, he worked on staff at Gawker, Deadspin, and Splinter. His work also frequently appears in The Guardian.   The conversation begins with a discussion of sport as labor and within the labor movement, and what that means in the context of the pandemic. From there, the discussion shifts to Hamilton's work on boxing to discuss the working conditions in the brutal sport and his personal investments as a writer and participant. We then shift to college sport for a close look at where college sport fits in the labor movement, why it is exploitative, and what can be done. Finally, and you don't want to miss this, the last quarter of the show focuses on some real talk about what happened at Deadspin and what to make of the zombie version of the site, and those who work for it, today.   You can find Hamilton's plea for the unionization of college athletes here. You can find his current work at In These Times here.

Folks, it finally happened: we royally fucked up the sound. Which is a shame, because we had a great conversation with Splinter News' Hamilton Nolan (@hamiltonnolan) about union organizing in the media and beyond. Is millennial entitlement good for labor? Why do workers need their own institutions? Can we change organized labor from within, or do we need a new paradigm? All this, plus Jamie's failed union organizing drive, Hamilton's successful one, and Jamie and Hamilton squash an ancient beef! Sorry again about the sound.

I sat down with Hamilton Nolan, writer for Splinter News.

Darrell Castle shares his thoughts on the reaction of violent rage and madness exhibited by many Democrats who are unable to accept the results of the 2016 election and why there is still reason for cautious optimism. Transcription / Notes A REASON FOR CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.  Today is Friday, June 29, 2018, and on this Report I will be talking about how losing the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump has literally driven many Democrats, especially Democrat politicians, into a rage bordering on madness.  They seem so unable to accept the fact that 63 million people rejected their ideas and voted for change, thus depriving them of the power to force others to fund their ideas that rage and madness have resulted.  Despite all the bad news, all the rage and madness from the left, as we shall see, there are reasons for at least cautious optimism. Democrats are apparently so deluded as to why their candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost to Donald Trump that they think their brand of violent rage, which includes of public shaming of any official working for the Trump administration, will somehow convince voters to give them back the majority of House and Senate seats come November 2018.  Their hatred of Donald Trump has never been more obviously directed at all the rest of us who reject their vision of what America should be.  All semblances of decorum and class, if any ever existed among them, have been lost.  They openly encourage the assembling of mobs to shame and inconvenience anyone connected to the Trump administration who dares to venture out in public.  They are apparently so deluded that they think that will encourage the American people to give them back their political majority. Maxine Waters, Congress woman from California, tells us, “you ain't seen nothing yet” and “this is just the beginning”.   She is making threats that one should assume she intends to back up.  There have, in fact, been threats of domestic terrorism as part of that, “this is only the beginning” quote.  I quote from an article by Hamilton Nolan in Splinter entitled, “This is Just the Beginning”.  In the article he asked questions of sane people, i.e., those more conservative than him, “Do you think that being asked to leave a restaurant, or having your meal interrupted, or being called by the public is bad?   My fascism-enabling friends, this is only the beginning.” Later he tells us exactly what he meant: “The U.S. had thousands of domestic bombings per year in the early 1970's.  This is what happens when citizens decide en masse that their political system is corrupt, racist, and unresponsive.  The people out of power have only just begun to flex their dissatisfaction.  The day will come, sooner than you all think, when Trump administration officials will look back fondly on a time when all they had to worry about was getting hollered at in a Mexican restaurant.” So he is telling us, no, warning us, that domestic terrorism is coming to U.S. cities because he and his left wing friends did not get their way.  He actually seems to crave violent conflict with longing and fondness.  This man is not just some crackpot, although he does seem to be nuts.  He has written for the New York Times and in leftist circles appears to be quite popular.  He is careful not to openly call for violence but he does say that it is time to start fighting.  “The people that are responsible for this are not going to get out of this with their happy, wealthy lives unscathed.”  That's you and me that he's talking about folks.  His article has been read more than 798,000 times. The radical left of the Democrat Party are quite clear about what they have planned for America if they can't take control of it at the voting booth, and their plan is already starting to some degree.  Congresswoman Maxine Waters recently encouraged her followers with this: “Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up.

Should a leftist join the American military, or does that just make you a tool for the imperial war machine? Is there anything a lefty can learn from serving, or is it all just a waste of time?
