Friendly reminder that we're actually the working-class left podcast (featuring interviews with actual workers) that everyone claims doesn't exist but should.

@dvewlsh I do wish we could see more actual working class leftists get media attention. But, there's no infrastructure for that. Only way to do it is if the NYC guys throw you a bone and some RTs. The Trillbillies are a good example of that.

The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell their paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillian_alv https://t.co/lHsB7Ja1o6

[In These Times @inthesetimesmag]

“I will never regret going on strike.”

After the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette strike, @maximillian_alv reports former staffers are building PAPER, the Pittsburgh Alliance for People-Empowered Reporting, to preserve local journalism in the city.

[Maximillian Alvarez @maximillian_alv]

It is objectively good that Newsom asked for a federal emergency declaration for Orange County & Trump approved it. It is a national travesty that one was never signed for East P@lestine & so many other communities that begged for one, still need one, & never got one

[In These Times @inthesetimesmag]

An explosion and days-long fire at Smitty’s Supply in Roseland, Louisiana blanketed homes with smoke, soot and oily residue. Months later, residents say they still don’t know what’s in their soil, water or backyards.

I've been interviewing people in and around East Palestine & reporting on that tragedy for 3 years straight. Your post fills me with so much rage. Your callous stupidity & partisan point-scoring bullshit is such a slap to the face of the people who are dying there. You are scum

[Maximillian Alvarez @maximillian_alv]

Really appreciate brothers @DavidGriscom & @MattLech having me on @LeftReckoning for an important discussion about my reporting on East Palestine, OH, & the reality that corporations & the government are turning working-class communities into toxic sacrifice zones. Watch 👇🏽

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

"Facing Unprecedented Labor violations, Starbucks Workers Overwhelmingly Agree to Strike Indefinitely"

Now that's what we call a headline 🤭 #NoContractNoCoffee

[Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare]

Ah, this is so amazing! @maximillian_alv talked to rank-and-file union members with the Minnesota Union Leadership Program about what it means to be part of the labor movement in these difficult times. Thanks so much for covering this, Max! https://t.co/h7cVxuMu2m

[The Real News @TheRealNews]

🚨 WHY THIS STARBUCKS STRIKE IS DIFFERENT

NEW: Microsoft has cut off services for the Israeli military after the Guardian exposed that they were being used for surveillance of Palestinians. This historic win shows the power of good journalism and movement pressure.

[The Nation @thenation]

“Sending multiple militarized police forces after protesters demonstrates that Microsoft views organizing as a serious threat to its bottom line,” Julius Shan, who was fired for protesting Microsoft's contracts with the IDF, told @maximillian_alv. https://t.co/TqtyvYMRf1

[Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare]

Read this piece by @maximillian_alv. This is a remarkable story, and these workers are AMAZING. https://t.co/xax8d1o5YK

[Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare]

These workers were fired by Microsoft for taking action in solidarity with Palestinians, and they're STILL organizing to oppose their former employer's complicity with Israel's genocide. That's dedication. Listen to this interview by @maximillian_alv https://t.co/msczMcAKOf

[Maximillian Alvarez @maximillian_alv]

🚨 New @TheRealNews: Redmond PD & @Microsoft claim forceful arrests on Wed were necessary bc No Azure for Apartheid protestors became “aggressive” & “threatened” others. I was 10ft away filming the whole time—they're lying. Watch my uninterrupted, 37-minute vid on YT for proof.

[In These Times @inthesetimesmag]

“This is a working class problem,” @TheRealNews Editor-in-Chief @maximillian_alv says. “And it’s not just happening to the chemically poisoned residents living in and around East Palestine, Ohio—this life-destroying scourge is coming for all of us.”

a week since our union convened and we are still thinking of the powerful message l class-war correspondent, @maximillian_alv left @NOLSW2320 members: what good is a union hell? https://t.co/7osBedRQkA

[The Real News @TheRealNews]

🚨 RED ALERT 🚨 Israeli forces imprisoned & beat @Shut_downAmazon, US labor leader, after capturing the @GazaFFlotilla ship Handala on Saturday. Every union member, every labor leader who took pictures with Chris over the years, should be speaking out NOW!

[The Real News @TheRealNews]

🚨 Gaza journalist’s URGENT MESSAGE: ‘We need to eat! We need this war to stop!’

In this testimony video sent to us over WhatsApp, Palestinian journalist & TRNN contributor @ruwaidaamer8 describes the inhumane nightmare that is unfolding in Gaza. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE!

[The Real News @TheRealNews]

"Incarcerated workers are a part of the working class,” award-winning journalist @GrimKim says. And we are “not telling the real history of labor in this country if [we’re] not focusing on the organizing efforts and the labor of people who are in prison
