The research for Episode 2: Secessio Plebis has taken me from Livy to Machiavelli, and from Shakespeare to Marx. Coming next Tuesday to whichever podcasting app you prefer!

Hard not to see this as the politics of gender, care, and the COVID crisis played out in a poll.

I mean, is there anything funnier than a big boat getting a stuck?

@thocpodcast Science studies would say that’s more of a problem with our understanding of what constitutes science than with political science as a discipline!

@AgeofVictoria @HerstoricalMnts @TimeTravelTalks @KaraDiDomizio @lelahistory @christanyc @mynameispurpose @jessicabmanor @athompstone @snapshotsmade @JulesHalvy @WaH_Pod @WhatsHerNamePC I feel like there could easily be novels/movies/miniseries about her life & work, and I’m always surprised that there aren’t many. I’m excited to get to the Matchgirls strike on my podcast so I can talk more about her!

@HerstoricalMnts @TimeTravelTalks @KaraDiDomizio @lelahistory @christanyc @mynameispurpose @jessicabmanor @athompstone @snapshotsmade @JulesHalvy @AgeofVictoria @WaH_Pod @WhatsHerNamePC That alone makes her a fascinating woman! She’s one of those individuals in history where, once you’ve heard about her, it’s hard to imagine how you’d never heard of her before. A 100% fascinating person!

This is what a labour movement with its back up against the wall looks like. No more Mr. Nice Girl/Guy.

Solidarity with @BAmazonUnion and @LALabor.

Amazon is an innovator: the company has invented some of the most sophisticated techniques ever seen to avoid taxation, the minimum wage, worker safety, and climate justice.

We paid an impromptu visit to the Bessemer Amazon facility earlier, and something caught my eye through one of the windows. I hopped on a table outside to get a closer look, and spotted this anti-union banner hanging in the employee locker room. Shameful.

[Simon Black @_SimonBlack]

Too many labour leaders think a phone call with the Prime Minister is an indication of their power and influence.

Unless the PM is calling you to request an end to a strike, mass demonstration or occupation, it isn’t.
