Greatly enjoyed discussing the political economy of AI, the logic of the Luddites, and much else, with @gritlaura.bsky.social and @faiz.bsky.social

Today on Laura Flanders & Friends: Debunking the AI hype. As energy-sucking data centers take root around the country, communities are pushing back. @johncassidysays.bsky.social (@newyorker.com) and Faiz Shakir (@moreperfectunion.bsky.social) tell us more: bit.ly/4k5S8uu

We talk a lot about Donald Trump acting like a gangster and using his power over American businesses for his own enrichment. But maybe, just maybe, the top 1% are using him to get what they want.

Faiz Shakir @faiz.bsky.social says Democrats need to be FOR something. Not just against Donald Trump. And they can begin to do that in local communities when Big Tech comes to town.

We are in desparate need of more leaders who have the integrity and conviction to go up against massive concentrations of wealth and power

Zohran and Bernie, in profile, in a scrum at a picket line in front of a Starbucks. Zohran is smiling and Bernie is denouncing our rigged economic system, of course

It’s going to be so cool to have a mayor who really cares about working people and goes out of his way to show it.

Faiz Shakir: There can be more taxes on the rich. We have a society that has worked extraordinarily well for wealthy people and not so great for the bottom 60%. The billionaire class has hated Mamdani - Trump's instincts are better, he knows Zohran is looking out for working people.

President Piggy This is what consequence-free misogyny looks like.

On Pod Save America, Faiz Shakir described America as being in a state of moral decay. When the President calls one reporter "Piggy" and his press secretary answers, "Your Mom," to another reporter, you know we're there.

New signups to Bernie's list from the Fight Oligarchy tour: 68% are Democrats, 20% no party preference, 9% Republican - @faiz.bsky.social

🔥 future Senator of Maine @grahamformaine.bsky.social Platner rallying with Bernie…

@faiz.bsky.social: "There’s too many in the Democratic Party who like to criticize Bernie or be in friction with him. Far fewer have seen the political power of embracing him. AOC always has"

We spoke with More Perfect Union founder and Bernie advisor Faiz Shakir With punchy videos about corporate malfeasance, unaccountable billionaires and tech companies that act with impunity, this company has carved out a niche doing what mainstream media won't

"The impact for me right now is documenting the struggle for local communities over oligarchy. These economic justice issues actually are gaining sway with conservatives"

'We Make, They Take': Kudos to @moreperfectunion.bsky.social for its new billboard campaign. Says Faiz Shakir: “We're calling out a simple truth: Working people keep this country running, but corporations keep taking more and more.” @faiz.bsky.social perfectunion.us www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Great team accomplishment

Appreciate the recognition. We will continue to do our part to fight for Anerica's working class.

Watch: Bernie Sanders reacts to Trump's Iran strikes in real time at 'Fighting Oligarchy' rally Bernie Sanders reacts to President Trump's Iran strikes during 'Fighting Oligarchy' rally, as crowd chants 'No more wars' while the senator argues only Congress has power to declare war.

Amazing to watch the anti-war movement erupt in real-time in Oklahoma www.foxnews.com/politics/wat...

Fighting Oligarchy appeals in very red states.

Mcallen came out strong last night. Next up: Shreveport, Tulsa, Amarillo, Ft. Worth

Wrong Again, Democrats: Paying “Influencers” Misses the Boat Party insiders are spending millions to find the liberal Joe Rogan. How about perfecting the message before conducting a search for the perfect messenger?

Thanks to @maddow.msnbc.com and team for the shout-out for @moreperfectunion.bsky.social billboards to save national parks and public lands

This is the best conversation I’ve heard in so long. @faiz.bsky.social is so smart. The pyramid is a great reframe AND his example of a candidate getting any voter USA to agree with them by addressing exploitation of working class = 👏👏👏

Arizona billboards call out federal cuts to Saguaro National Park The group More Perfect Union installed more than 300 signs across the country, calling out the Department of Government Efficiency for federal cuts to the National Park Service.

"It doesn't matter if you're really wealthy. It doesn't matter if you're middle class. It doesn't matter if you're living in poverty, you generally should be able to go to a National Park and have the same experience…" @faiz.bsky.social
