My latest on how nurses are leading the US labor movement.

Young people eager for a comfortable career resistant to automation and the chance to join a vibrant labor movement would do well to consider a nursing career.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

huge solar factory in michigan unionized, by worker votes and grit!

as far I recall this is the biggest factory to unionize since VW in Tennessee, '24. and hopefully just the first in a chain of plants at this anti-union corp (makes fiber optic lines, much else) to go union

Dolly Parton was a poor girl from a Tennessee cabin who never forgot it, never stopped singing about it, and never treated anyone as beneath her. https://t.co/0fQdHslJkT

This is beyond horrific. The U.S. just deported someone to Haiti who came to America at 6 years old. Now he’s stuck in a country gripped by gang violence where he doesn’t have family or any connections. And for what? What are we even doing here?

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops.

But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents.

I’m heading to Danbury.

The people of the United States are obviously not prepared for all the unintended consequences of the destruction of dollar hegemony, but that is the necessary and logical outcome of squeezing the last bit of coercive juice from dollar supremacy.

Oh, so this is what happened. Argentina has toxic beef that it can't sell. Someone made a call to Trump, offered to cut him in on the action, suddenly 660 million pounds of inedible meat-like substance is about to flood the U.S. market. Just follow the money, it tells the story.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

It was only five months ago that China averted disaster by rejecting contaminated beef from Argentina.

On March 19, 2026, Chinese authorities turned away a 22-ton shipment after detecting chloramphenicol.

With serial-lying psychopath Trump as president, God help us.

When Dolly Parton released her iconic song "9 to 5," a movement of working women was taking off.

Today we say goodbye to someone who helped catapult working women's demands for rights and respect into the public debate: https://t.co/aVZZSZdYsN

Brooklyn-based Japanese artist Mayumi Nakao. Love her style. Reminds me of the old WPA murals.

@Tyler_A_Harper I think this conflates the wealthy with the pmc. Although I think the former have an easier time integrating themselves with the downwardly mobile pmc.

Our postindustrial neoliberal reality is correctly understood as a vicious economic system, but something I took from @gabrielwinant work on healthcare is how within this dystopia are glimpses of another, better world.

Amidst all the talk of the manosphere, here is a fascinating article about the potentially beneficial effects of our new labor market on masculinity.

While the decline of manufacturing employment has undoubtedly harmed young, non-college educated men in the short term, the new healthcare economy that replaced it has the potential to reshape gender relations for the better by pushing more men to engage in acts of care previously reserved for women.
