(By *American Zen*'s Mike Flannigan, on loan from Ari) *J*ust ignore Labor Day and the Halloween decorations that already went up last month, forget about Thanksgiving. Get a jump on your judge-shopping for Xmas! Donald Trump did! Federal Judge Aileen Cannon puts a new spin on the phrase, "Trump-appointed judge". The 41 year-old Cannon was appointed to the federal bench by Donald Trump right after he lost the 2020 election. And now, it's becoming increasingly obvious why he'd chosen this particular jurist out of Fort Pierce. Indeed, Trump's lawyers, rightly sensing they... read more

Sen. Klobuchar says Big Tech money hasn’t stopped her antitrust push ... yet
Sen. Amy Klobuchar. | Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images “It is an incredible amount of money I’m up against.” Amy Klobuchar’s antitrust push is not dead, the Democratic senator told Kara Swisher at the Code Conference on Tuesday. “Never count us out when the cause is right and it’s something we need to tackle,” she said. Klobuchar has been at the forefront of the antitrust push in Congress, sponsoring several bipartisan and bicameral bills aimed at Big Tech that would better regulate them and curb their immense power. Despite auspicious beginnings and what seemed to be a lot of bipart... read more

SADS: “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome” Explodes as Young and Healthy Adults Die Following COVID Vaccine Mandates
The sheer number of young, healthy adults dying "suddenly" has become so well-known now, that even the corporate media can no longer ignore these record number of deaths occurring among the working class ages between 18-years-old and 65. The correlation between these "sudden deaths" and the roll out of the COVID vaccines is indisputable, but because "correlation does not equal causation," the corporate media and the government health agencies continue to deny that the vaccines are at fault. Finding no other possible cause for these record number of deaths among young and healthy ... read more

Mark Cuban says pharma villain Martin Shkreli inspired him

At least that’s what Cuban told Recode’s Kara Swisher at this year’s Code Conference. “If he could jack things up 1,500 percent or whatever it was, why can’t we cut it, right?

Let’s Stop Pretending America Is A Functioning Democracy
There is a fatal disconnect between a political system that promises democratic equality and freedom while carrying out socioeconomic injustices that result in grotesque income inequality and political stagnation. Decades in the making, this disconnect has extinguished American democracy.

Autocracy, American-Style
The abuse of executive powers has become so commonplace as to be accepted as the norm. We experience it in organizations public and private – ranging from the Oval Office to elite universities to charitable NGOs and foundations, and of course across the business world where the MBA mindset and CEO hubris reign. In this era of impunity, autocratic behavior is taken as a perquisite of office, if not indeed part of the job description. A general condition of social nihilism entices and emboldens the willful who crave arbitrary power for its own sake. The drifting attention of our p... read more

Workers Speak Out As UPS Continues Retaliation Against Union Activists
New York city, New York - Starting at 8:00 a.m. on September 1, workers and allies began to congregate at the steps of the Metro Queens UPS facility. The rally built on two-days of tabling, where dozens of coworkers posed for solidarity photos and encouraged coworkers to sign a petition defending “all fired activists.” Veterans of the 2014 ‘Maspeth 250’ wildcat strike, a struggle against the unjust firing of union militant Jairo Reyes, were quick to show their solidarity. So far, approximately 150 workers from the two Maspeth UPS buildings signed the petition, with plans in place t... read more
Companies Are Required To Report Their Union Busting, But Many Don’t

Over $1 million spent on the union-busting firm Labor Relations Institute to stop stressed-out truck drivers at concrete distributor Cemex from unionizing. Without the mandatory filings with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) of 1959, few of us would know about the extent of companies’ union busting or the consultants they e... read more

Time To Blow Up Electricity Markets
Athens, Greece – The blades of the wind turbines on the mountain range opposite my window are turning especially energetically today. Last night’s storm has abated but high winds continue, contributing extra kilowatts to the electricity grid at precisely zero additional cost (or marginal cost, in the language of the economists). But the people struggling to make ends meet during a dreadful cost-of-living crisis must pay for these kilowatts as if they were produced by the most expensive liquefied natural gas transported to Greece’s shores from Texas. This absurdity, which prevails ... read more

From Coast To Coast: Open Letter By Anarchist Prisoner Toby Shone
I’m in favor of strengthening our international networks in the face of an increased technocratic authoritarianism. To remain locked up in our local areas without considering the struggles elsewhere is self-defeating, as repressive operations seek to confine us and stem our anarchic contagion specifically to promote sterility.

Can we join together the struggles of the long-term COINTELPRO prisoners with those elsew... read more
