While listening to the great ep of @BlackWorkTalk with Mariame Kaba about #abolition as I walked to Bart, I saw a cop harassing a Latino about whether his Target bag was stolen b/c they’ve turned the plaza to a police state to stop fencing of stolen goods. I did not feel safer.

What does that mean for the Left?

Question: if parishioners can move several times but still return to their "home" church, how to do we develop an organization whereby workers can churn from low-wage job to low-wage job but still identify with a particular labor organization?

If you didn't know, @BlackWorkTalk is about building the collective power of Black workers in unions and community organizations across the US.
It's an incredible podcast that has a lot of guests on to cover a broad range of topics and I've learned SO MUCH from listening.

I've been listening to @BlackWorkTalk for a while now and their latest episode, which was a panel at the Labor Notes conference, was utterly amazing. I was taking SO many notes.
Highly recommend this episode, and the podcast in general. open.spotify.com/episode/7uW…

Inflation jump is driven heavily by energy prices--both oil and energy, followed distantly by grocery prices, but other price increases were more modest
Guiliani was involved in this police riot in 1992. Any surprise Trump worked out of the same playbook in 2021? @BillFletcherJr @dorianwarren @WSpriggs
