🚨 Trillionaires are a scam. We’re not paying for it.
@SpaceX is about to go public at $2 TRILLION. Totally inflated.
Wall Street is gambling with YOUR pension. And they’re changing rules to force your retirement savings into this bubble.

Surviving the Trump era is not enough.
@stephenlerner and @JosephMcCartin argue that unions must rebuild their capacity for collective action, challenge the corporations profiting from authoritarianism and organize for a different future.

Winning elections will not be enough to rebuild worker power.
@stephenlerner and @JosephMcCartin argue that unions must move beyond a defensive strategy and take a leading role in resisting authoritarianism.

Labor movements in Brazil, South Korea and South Africa grew rapidly when unions helped confront authoritarianism.
@stephenlerner and @JosephMcCartin ask what those histories mean for U.S. unions in the Trump era.

Every pension fund and retirement fund and endowment in the country should reject the @SpaceX IPO. It is way over valued and @elonmusk is a danger to the future of humankind.

A $25B fund just refused SpaceX at any price.
It says the company can't be worth more than $1T, half the $1.8T IPO target, and Musk's 85% control makes it impossible to fix from inside. thenextweb.com/news/danish-p…

Why does @AmericanAir lie to customers? Flight 5318 MCI to DCA was delayed hrs. We were told they didn't know why- turns out smoke had filled plane-but they claimed air traffic issues. kmbc.com/article/kansas-city…

"As labor leaders contemplate the conflicts that might emerge in coming months, they should consider lessons from what happened in Minnesota as well as Chicago and Los Angeles where local unions also played important roles in mobilizing resistance."

"a specter haunts the labor movement at this crucial juncture: the magical thinking that if unions can just survive the Trump era they can help restore a kind of pre-Trump normalcy after he leaves office."
@stephenlerner & @JosephMcCartin on the fight.

The crisis of U.S. democracy is also a test for labor. @stephenlerner and @JosephMcCartin argue that resisting Trumpism could help revive the labor movement if unions are willing to fight.

ALT In These Times promotional graphic showing a labor march. At center, a woman in sunglasses and a red union T-shirt raises a large red sign reading “FIGHT LIKE HELL!” while other marchers in matching red shirts fill the street behind her. Over the photo, large white text reads, “Resisting Trumpism Can Revive the U.S. Labor Movement,” with a byline below: “By Stephen Lerner and Joseph A. McCartin.”

They build mansions. We fight for housing.
The Oligarch Mansion Bus Tour is an educational and illuminating tour exposing extreme wealth and right-wing political spending, all while affordable housing falls behind. #taxtherich #eattherich

This photo shows the Treasury Secretary reading a text from the Agriculture Secretary.
She's worried China has outmaneuvered the US by buying up Argentine soybeans at the expense of our farmers, even as the Administration plans to bail out Argentina with billions of dollars.
