The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Heard Trevor and Armine on CBC’s The Current this morning giving their reactions on the federal budget. Always great to hear different perspectives from awesome economists @trevortombe.bsky.social @armineyalnizyan.bsky.social

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Mamdani: So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Super early results in NYC. Turnout is the highest since 1969 with over 2.3M votes.

I'm not in today's federal budget lockup (a rarity in 30+yrs) because I said YES! to providing a keynote before budget day was announced. CSA's all-star team is sure to ignite sharp post-budget thinking about how we shape a thriving Canada now. www.csagroup.org/public-polic... Join us if you can!

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

They are destroying what SHE built. #TeenVogue

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

Holly schnikey what a chart (corporate consolidation)

The U.S. has lost both. By design. Government of the richest, for the richest, by the richest.

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate. Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

Fascinating admission by Powell that central banks can't really address supply shortages with rate hikes/cuts when it comes to labour. And that labour supply is what is shrinking in the U.S. (of course also labour demand, becaue of the tariff uncertainty) www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/ar...

Best, most succinct history of game/changing union organizing in America, including a fabulous explanation of where the term redneck comes from

Today's Bank of Canada rate cut will be queried by the press here www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scdw... If I was there I would have 4 questions 🧵 1. Does the Bank think that Canada will avoid a recession in 2025, despite the economic turbulence unleashed by the tariff war?
