I would of never known how switched on this woman is had I only listened to the criticism from news pundits. Happy she's in the race.

this is strange, but I guess it´s nice. That humanism is kinda ignorant but probably well intended

bu it is kinda cool that 'spiritual guru' says something like that

MLK didn't have to learn non-violence from India - Gandhi learned it from Jesus in the synoptic gospels encouraged by Leo Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God is Within You.

I just have to state it: there are not enough people in our country intellegent enough to be on this woman’s level for the counrty to vote for her.  The general masses FEEL they need a tough leader, daddy or mommy figure, to lead them, us... saddly

I like her but She lost me at providing medicare for all who want it and private healthcare for those who want to pay for it. Who’s going to pay for it when they can get it for free? That just wont work

In this News Brief, we discuss the initial lack of coverage of the devastating February 3rd train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio; the coverage of the lack of coverage; the GOP's "white genocide" exploitation; Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's defensiveness; and the real human stakes of decades of bipartisan deregulation and union-busting.

Our guest is Matthew Cunningham-Cook, a reporter and researcher at The Lever.

News Brief: Defensiveness and Demagoguery in East Palestine

"Unions used to make sense but are obsolete in today's economy!" Unions are an "outside force" or "third party." "I'm a strong worker. Unionization will harm me personally and only help the weak and lazy workers." "Unions are rigid, old fashioned hierarchies."

We’ve all no doubt heard these talking points at some point, if not often, from news shows, opinion pieces, TV dramas, members of our families, our co-workers and, probably most of all, our bosses. What’s remarkable is how little these general talking points have changed throughout the decades. Some versions of these pat anti-union lines have been around since there have been unions. It's generally unseemly to appear anti-worker or not OF the working class so opposition to the one thing that historically empowers the working class––unions––is seen as crass and politically incorrect.

So, in its place has emerged a popular set of go-to, sophistic arguments that allow one to appear pro-working class without the messiness and ideological heavy lifting of actually supporting labor organizing and unionization. These McArguments––that after decades of anti-union messaging feel right without being right––appeal to ignorance, prejudice, vagueness and gendered and racialized perceptions of what labor is, and what labor deserves: the protection and stability offered by collective bargaining.

On this episode, we detail eight of the most popular anti-union talking points, their origins, who they serve, their purpose and power, and––most important of all––how to combat them.

Our guest is union organizer and author Daisy Pitkin.
