AI will make the rich unfathomably richer. Is this really what we want? | Dustin Guastella The ‘knowledge economy’ promised cultural and social growth. Instead, we got worsening inequality and division. Artificial intelligence will supercharge it

"Why are investors so bullish on the AI boom? Partly because this technology promises to lay off more workers, more rapidly, than any innovation in recent memory."

Democrats tumble in new poll In a survey from the Wall Street Journal, Democrats hold only a 33 percent approval rating.

We need progressive candidates in the Democratic Party to wrest control of Congress away from the right.

“Until they reconnect with real voters and working people on who they’re for and what their economic message is, they’re going to have problems.”

Trump Has Put a Target on SEIU, and the Labor Movement Is Fighting Back The arrest of labor leader David Huerta in Los Angeles has put unions on the leading edge of resistance to mounting authoritarianism.

'Trump is destroying working-class people and their communities, she said, but he’s chosen the wrong target: ​“The majority of us are working-class people who contribute to this country, so we aren’t the backyard nor the garbage dump of any politician.”' #work #workers #workerissues #unionstrong

Nike garment workers from Indonesia rally at Beaverton headquarters Three Indonesian garment workers are visiting Oregon this week to demand higher wages and better human rights from Nike.

These women had to come all the way from Indonesia to Oregon to demand the wages that they are owed. We need an international criminalization of wage theft. #solidarity #worker'srights #workerissues #wagetheft

Mass layoffs at Bonneville Power Administration raise concerns about reliability of power grid Losing 20% of BPA's workforce could leave the Pacific Northwest in the dark due to unplanned outages, according to a former BPA administrator.

These layoffs saved tax payers exactly $0. The BPA is a non-profit that runs on charges for wholesale electricity, not taxpayer money. They risk leaving the Pacific Northwest in the cold and dark because...why? #DOGE #Trump #workerissues

Congressional Republicans’ Budget Plans Would Force America’s Working Class To Foot the Bill for Tax Cuts for the Wealthy New budget proposals envision a massive tax giveaway to those at the top financed by working-class Americans, including cuts to health care and food programs.

Trump's tariffs will hurt consumers and businesses, Doge has laid off thousands of workers and hollowed out federal departments that provide public services, and the GOP Congress is trying to deprive people of the social safety net so the rich can get richer. A Dark New Deal. #resist #workerissues

Judge orders DOGE employee to testify in lawsuit against the Trump administration The federal judge called the Department of Government Efficiency's work "opaque" as he ordered an official to shed more light on its activity and structure.

"The unions that filed the lawsuit are seeking to block DOGE from accessing Labor Department data, arguing that access to such sensitive information systems would violate the Privacy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act." #resist #unionstrong #workerissues #workers'rights

More than 150 show up to Belton town hall, express frustration with job cuts A town hall at a Belton, Missouri, coffee shop drew a large and frustrated crowd Monday morning.

"At one point, a former IRS employee tucked into a coffee shop couch disagreed with Alford's salary assessment of IRS workers and stood and yelled, "I made $40,000 a year! I made $40,000 a year! ... Why did you take my job?"'

"Unions don't organize workers -- workers organize unions."

-- Martin Glaberman and Seymour Faber

Don't wait for a union to organize you. Learn how to organize one for yourself and your co-workers, or how to join an existing one in your industry. #resist #organize #unionstrong #workerissues

Georgia Republican faces town hall backlash over DOGE's 'chainsaw approach' to federal cuts Rep. Rich McCormick, who represents a safe GOP district, came under harsh criticism that focused on the Trump administration’s moves to slash federal jobs and budgets.

Yes.

Also, he admitted that Musk and Trump's plan is to replace workers with AI.

'McCormick responded that “a lot of the work they do is duplicitous with AI.”'

"Duplicitous" certainly is the word for it!
