In this episode, @afacwa.org International President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social reminds us that aviation is the safest mode of transportation in the world. And workers plan to "keep it safe," even if it means delayed or canceled flights. Check your local listings at lauraflanders.org.

Brian Goldstone appears on a PBS News Weekend, speaking from a room lined with bookshelves. A lower-third caption reads: “BRIAN GOLDSTONE — Journalist and Author, ‘There Is No Place for Us.’”

"Homelessness today isn't just the person sleeping outside a Walmart. It's often the cashier or worker stocking the shelves inside."

I joined @pbsnews.org to talk about There Is No Place for Us and the staggering rise of the "working homeless":

Graphic that reads: "The average hourly wage necessary to afford a one-bedroom apartment in the United States is $28.17. The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25." -- National Low Income Housing Coalition

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

please watch this interview and share it. the opening is especially necessary -- homelessness isn't the exception. as rents vastly outpace what wages can afford, many who are working multiple jobs have no place to live.

Zero risk aversion to sprint past the point of no return.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

This Day in Labor History: November 22, 1909. Approximately 20,000 garment workers in New York City went on strike against the horrendous conditions of their sweatshops. This strike, known as the Uprising of the 20,000, was the largest strike led by women in American history to that time!!!

Today’s case study: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

6.1 million Americans will fly over Thanksgiving, and that's made possible by 223,000 cabin crew members who keep flights in the air. But those 223k professionals combined earn less than half of what Elon will bring in if he gets his trillion dollar bonus. @flyingwithsara.bsky.social #teslatakedown

When the employed are pushed into homelessness In America we are taught hard work is the key to success. But despite having full-time jobs, many families are locked out of the rental housing market, due to low wages, soaring rents and poor credit,...

Trump’s Kill Zone in the Caribbean Is an Escalation of the Never-ending U.S. Drug War The strikes on boats near Venezuela mark a new phase in a murderous war on Latin America that has been waged by 10 U.S. presidents.

Trump is bombing boats in the Caribbean almost daily — no evidence, no charges, just killings. How did the U.S. get here?

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

I fly a lot more than most people but every time there's real turbulence I'm reminded that I could never make it as a flight attendant

The FAA announced plans for a 10% reduction of air traffic in 40 markets starting Friday. @flyingwithsara.bsky.social’s statement:

"Safety is not a political game. Recent events in aviation should sober us all and redirect an urgent call to work together to keep Americans safe."
