There's a connection between the studios pretending they can't properly pay show writers AND companies pretending they can't find anyone to hire AND empty storefronts pretending they can't find anyone to lease to. The studios can pay. The companies can hire. The places can lease. They are CHOOSING not to. I hope the WGA strike breaks the fuck out of the studios and the studio execs are crying in their gold plated cereal bowls. Respect the picket line and don't be a scab. WGA hasn't called for a boycott, so streaming whatever shows is fine, for now. (This blog is pro union and pro labor. The only union that's trash is any cop union, obvs.)

I am not going to share Drew Barrymore’s non-apology, because it’s not something she should get attention and accolades and pats on the back for. I am going to say this about it:

Apologies do not work when you continue to do the thing you are apologizing for.

President Joe Biden

I want to thank the workers, carriers, and port operators for acting patriotically to reopen our ports and ensure the availability of critical supplies for Hurricane Helene recovery. Today, our ports are open, dockworkers have secured record wages, and supplies can keep moving.

Power of the People: Working to Fulfill Democracy's Promise

Who We Are

Power of the People is a coalition of anti-corruption humanitarians that seeks to fulfill Democracy’s promise of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” and demands basic human rights for all through establishing an Economic Bill of Rights. We seek a nation free of corporate and governmental corruption that ceases to infringe on the inalienable rights of its people. We call ourselves by different names: democratic socialists, progressives, New Deal Democrats, leftists, etc. Either way, we all believe in a better future and a politics of love that answers to the demands of the American people.

What We Believe In

The Right to a Living Wage

The Right to a Union

The Right to Healthcare through an expanded and improved Medicare for All

The Right to Universal Quality Education from Preschool to College

The Right to Good, Affordable Housing

The Right to a Clean and Healthy Planet through a Green New Deal

The Right to an Endowment of Resources at Birth and a Healthy Childhood

The Right to Sound Banking and Financial Services

The Right to an Equitable and Fair Justice System for All People

The Right to Democracy and Peace Here and Abroad

Where We Started

The founding members of Power of the People were volunteers for the Marianne Williamson 2024 Presidential Campaign. Marianne Williamson was a social worker and humanitarian who challenged Joe Biden for the Democratic Party's nomination in 2024. Among other things, she ran with the intent to institute a 21st Century Bill of Rights. For these beliefs, Marianne was consistently slandered and discredited by the corporatised mainstream media and the Democratic establishment. Eventually, the media blackout became so choking that she chose to suspend her campaign.

We loved Marianne Williamson, but we had one primary disagreement with her: her decision to suspend her campaign. Even if she had little chance of winning, her message was important nonetheless. We are here to continue her message at the local, state, and federal level, with or without an official campaign. We hope to bend the arc of history to justice with the power of solidarity & love.

Stay tuned for more! In the meantime, read what we agree with at Marianne2024.com/issues, promote Marianne's message at Wethepeople2024.me, and contact our media lead @veganvarian

last week, some of my coworkers filed a petition to unionize. and i learned that because i’ve now attended my third mandatory training about it as a supervisor. 

truly, i’ve never been more upset to be in charge at my job than i am now that i’ve realized i’m not eligible to join a union.

of course, since supervisors are allowed to share Facts about unions, i spent today’s mandatory training putting together a list of union facts, including citations, to share.
