Grievance Poisoning in the First Degree Is "I am so great" an actual philosophy?

"Your job is not to grovel for praise from Silicon Valley people who have not finished a book in the past 14 years. Your job is to keep doing cartoonishly evil shit until a hero finally vanquishes you." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/grievance-...

Sad to share that today is my last as investigative editor at ITT, following layoffs that affected about half the staff. For the immediate future I’ll be finishing a book about the Catholic right. Not sure what comes after that, but am open for job leads, freelancing, editing gigs, rich patrons, etc

do this every day

Union Now Is America’s New Strike Fund - The American Prospect The new nonprofit will put money directly into the hands of workers so they can fight harder and win bigger.

It was exciting to talk to Sara Nelson and Bernie Sanders about their new plan to strengthen and expand organized labor. It's pretty straightforward: give workers money.

This interview is a really great discussion of the cutting edge of wealth taxes in CA and MA.

In California, It's Either Tax the Billionaires or Face a Health Care "Catastrophe" An interview with the union leaders pushing a state wealth tax.

Spoke to the SEIU union leaders heading up the push for a billionaire tax in California. They say it is a pretty clear choice: A small tax on 200 of the richest people on earth, or millions of Californians losing access to health care.

Rich people in dozens of Park Ave co-ops are looking out their windows at this rally right now and considering a life without any doormen or people taking out the trash next week. This is power

Five whole blocks of Park Ave are shut down for a @32bjseiu.bsky.social rally ahead of a possible strike. Guess you better give them a contract!!!!

MAJOR UPDATE: I found the best free restaurant bread in the United States www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

No publication gives me more hope that we (people!) can make the world better and fairer and kinder than Hamilton's newsletter.
