BBC interview with kids in 1966 predicting the year 2000. Quite accurate is it? Also do you observe the fluency of the children? Nowdays they would speak with ah, oh, okay, whateva.

I’d like to renormalize the idea that it is good to elect politicians to political positions, and not “businessmen” or “outsiders” or other kinds of people who hate government.

117 House members & 18 Senators have cosponsored Medicare for All. Working people are tired of a failed health care system that allows corporations to put greed ahead of people’s needs. Medicare for All would finally guarantee that everyone in the U.S. gets the care they need.

The Taking Benefits From America's Veterans Act never had a chance of passing because veterans & VSOs hated it. Now, Republicans have released the House for an early recess &, once again, have failed to deliver benefits to America's veterans. When will Republicans put veterans first?

Between 22,000 and 30,000 veterans lost their homes in the last 18 months. Our Republican colleagues wrongfully terminated VASP, and these veterans are paying the price. The men and women who served this country are suffering because of the actions taken by this majority.

AutoZone has reportedly spent $210,696 on managers and lawyers fighting the first union drive in company history involving 11 workers. That's more than $19,000 per worker. The company made $2.5B last year. Apparently the company has plenty of money. Just not for raises.

MIT economist Daron Acemoglu just backed a Senate bill making AI companies pay into a federal fund for displaced workers. He warns, ”AI is on track to displace workers, not complement them.” If AI reshapes work, it needs to work for all of us, not just a handful of elites.

Unions are leading the fight against AI at the bargaining table. At Bath Iron Works, workers won contract language requiring the company to notify them before AI and robotics are implemented. Organizing is how workers keep a seat at the table when technology threatens our jobs.

Union Yes! Union Now! What would you do with an extra $7,700 per year? If 1/3 of US workers joined a union, we could take $1.2 trillion back from the billionaire bosses. That means better pay, better benefits and a better life for working people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
