In the latest Second Thought video, we learn Why Work Is Getting Worse – “We’re not going to find a solution in some mythologized past. It’s only going to be when people have actual collective autonomy to make economic decisions and aren’t forced to generate profits for a small group of wealthy businessmen that work can actually, and durably, improve.”...yeah, I would say so (have to remember this for Labor Day)...
...and I touched on this a bit on Friday with the Trae Crowder clip, but here is Max Burns of Rebel HQ telling us more about MAGA nitwits like Kid Rock attacking Bud Light (privileged white dudes with guns and some hurt fee-fees...more here)...
...and Sam and Emma of The Majority Report speak with Mehdi Hasan about Netanyahu and Israel (and get in a plug for Hasan’s book, which I know nothing about, but considering that it’s from a straight shooter like Hasan, it’s probably good)...
...and returning to this country, Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report talks about Bari Weiss running with a story from this Emily Yoffe person about a child taking puberty blockers as part of gender-affirming care, with the mother claiming that her child is being abused by the hospital performing these procedures despite the child’s responses to the contrary (NSFW/H)...
...and John and Brett Erlich of The Damage Report discuss the expulsion of Justin Jones and Justin Pearson from the Tennessee state house (GREAT idea from John to make this into a campaign issue; I’d like to see an actual peaceful protest on the steps of the state capitol over getting the two reinstated, but I’ll take what I can get at this point)...
Update: A terrific development is here...and isn't this interesting?
Update 4/12/23: And then there were two (here).
...also, Joy Reid interviews MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin about the horrible abortion pill decision by Texas judge (and Trump appointee) Matthew Kacsmaryk (Biden has already appealed the ruling, as well he should...and I thought this was a good column by Michelle Goldberg in the New York Times about the utterly awful Comstock ruling underpinning the Kacsmaryk decision; Comstock should be cast into the legal dustbin at this point – Goldberg is kind of a mixed bag as a columnist I know, but I think she was spot-on here)...
Update: More here.
...and as the over-arching theme, if you will, of “governance” by Not Your Father’s Republican Party is revenge-based violence, as Thom Hartmann tells us, adding that isn’t the last move as part of their fascist descent – it’s the first...
...and happy belated 60th birthday to Julian Lennon (very mildly NSFW/H).
