A critical and timely read, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday around the corner. It matters where you buy and how it's delivered.

How Amazon Is Conquering (and Ruining) the Package Delivery Market To fulfill billions of orders, Amazon leans on gig workers and subcontractors—an anti-labor practice afflicting most sectors of the economy. We spoke to the preeminent expert on the subject.

I had a long discussion with @alexshultz.bsky.social of @hardresetmedia.com about how the rise of Amazon undermines work for delivery drivers and wider impacts on labor. www.hardresetmedia.com/p/how-amazon...

Keep Public Funds in Public Schools We need to support our public schools and help them grow stronger. Voucher programs are not the way to achieve this; they move public funds to private education – often for families whose children alr...

How the Trump Administration Is Giving Even More Tax Breaks to the Wealthy

Government by the wealthy, for the wealthy.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Stop and think about this. A DCSD teacher and her family are in a detention camp in Texas because she complied with the law.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

The House Budget Reconciliation bill contains a massive voucher grift. Tell your legislator (especially if it's Gabe Evans, Jeff Crank, Lauren Boebert or Jeff Hurd) that their constituents want public dollars to stay in PUBLIC schools! #copolitics

Colorado would lose billions in Medicaid funding under House Republicans’ plan More than 100,000 Coloradans could lose their health insurance if Congress passes newly proposed cuts to Medicaid, according to preliminary estimates.

Because of TABOR, cuts to Medicaid translates to cuts to K-12, higher ed, health care, etc. In 2026, we need to give the voters a voice in what happens to all our public services. (If P-12 is your jam, get involved here: www.greateducation.org/get-it-done/) #copolitics #edcolo #TABOR #coleg

Tell House Leaders to Stand Up for Public Schools: Let the House Vote on S.J.Res.25-021! We need 250 Coloradans to demand that members of the state House be given the chance to commit to full and fair funding of our schools.

A sinkhole formed under a rural school library. Colorado may cut funding to a program that could fix it. Lawmakers look to limit the state's contribution to the BEST Grant Program that uses funds, including marijuana excise tax money, to pay for critical facility projects at underfunded schools

Tell Your Legislator: We Want Fully and Fairly Funded Schools. YES on S.J.Res. 25-021! S.J.Res. 25-021 gives our legislators the opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to PUBLIC education and to commit to implementing the recommendations of the adequacy study.

Public education is under threat from federal and state cuts, the elimination of the US Education Department, privatization, and right-wing extremism. Take action how you can, where you are, with what you have. Here's an easy one. #coleg #edcolo #GetItDone #TABOR
