I’m told that my book “The Hammer” made the USA Today bestseller list, which I did not know existed. Nevertheless my publisher says it can now be called a National Bestseller—wow. Help depose some celebrity memoirs by buying yourself a copy today:

Native Floridian here. Go back to Boston, scab.
Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien here. Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for @SenAshleyMoody. Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs. The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers.

Making numbers go up isn’t compatible with human freedom. It’s time to flip the tables in how we determine progress. via @hamiltonnolan inthesetimes.com/article/aga…

The insurance crisis is real, it could cause a global financial meltdown if left unsolved, and yet it is also a comforting distraction from the real crisis.

No group in America is as scared of the DSA @DemSocialists as the police. This fact was on full display at a police union convention this summer.

The IUPA is the only police union member of the @AFLCIO. In 2020, the AFL rejected calls to kick IUPA out. Six years later, the AFL's convention was a celebration of the Minneapolis resistance to ICE, while the IUPA convention celebrated ICE as a partner.

Why do activists try to influence politicians who can be influenced rather than those who can’t be influenced? It’s a big mystery.
If you want to know why anti-Israel activists decided to protest New York’s anti-Zionist mayor rather than any of the people running American foreign policy, you have to understand the central role of organizing chum in a lot of left politics.

The most important political task in America is clawing back wealth from the very rich. The most important ballot measure in America is the California billionaire tax. The most important litmus test for presidential candidates is support for wealth taxes.

It’s no shock that the Right and Big Tech are targeting the same three institutions—if Democrats don’t take action to defend them, we can kiss our democracy goodbye. via @hamiltonnolan inthesetimes.com/article/thr…

People including the owner of this website and his closest allies do not want a free press to exist and journalism itself will be healthier when we get comfortable acknowledging that these people are our enemies, and yours.

So excited that @SidneyHillman recognized my exposé on Cesar Alarcón, the union-buster who set up a sham union Golden Krust, as one of the best stories of the week.
