“If they want to be tough on #China, don’t punish US #automakers & hard-working Americans by handing our clean-car keys to the Chinese,” said Gina McCarthy, former White House #climate adviser & former head of the #EPA. “The #UnitedStates must continue to show leadership on the international stage if we want to have any say in how trillions of dollars in financial investments, policies & decisions are made.”
To all the US federal employees about to be Schedule F'd - don't worry: The #Teamsters have your backs.
#DonaldTrump within 30 minutes of being inaugurated has already declared an #energy emergency to "drill baby drill". It highlights how spineless & corrupt #Democrats are that they never bothered to declare a #climateemergency & a real #GreenNewDeal. We must keep fighting for a Green New Deal.
"Four diseases, all connected, now threaten the nation’s social and moral health: racism, poverty, environmental devastation, and the war economy—sanctified by the heresy of Christian nationalism. Since the 2016 presidential election, when white rage propelled a candidate endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan into the White House, racism has been more prominent in public life."

Fears swirl that an imminently emerging so-called super artificial intelligence could arrive to wreak havoc on labor markets in the next few years, or even months if you want to believe the biggest hype-men.

Administering #welfare payments would be so much more cost effective if the rules were simple. For example, providing a base level of support to anyone earning less than a given amount & adding to it as needed using income data provided through employers’ payg systems. By default, err on the side of paying vulnerable people too much rather than too little.
Why does this not happen? Bc #Labor governments are not willing to face a media onslaught about undeserving bludgers. #DemonisingThePoor is a political strategy bc it works.
Far better to have people who are working hard & struggling to stay afloat blame others who are worse off then themselves, than blame the #oligarchs who continue to accelerate #plunder to maximise their #profit before the whole planetary system goes belly up.
And we, as voters, fall for it. Surely we can do better. #AusPol

#folk #musicians reply with a link to your best recent antifascist, anti-capitalist, pro-labor work.
Lotta people out there who need something to replace country music and it's so frustrating how there are so many based gems out there going largely unnoticed.
The overwhelming majority of pro-Labor responses, as usual, are variants on "not as bad as the other lot". That's a good case for putting #Labor second-last, not for giving them a first-preference.

yeah it reads as: labour MPs notice popular disgust with lack of popular policies, stand for a photo looking unhappy too.
As if bystanders.
The "secret" is no secret: thanks to #Unions, #Labor, and #SocialDemocracy, #workers in #Denmark have power.

Trump’s plan to deport millions will hurt working people, including his own supporters.
Many #immigrants are key workers in agriculture and construction, so #deportation would lead to labor shortages, higher food prices, and fewer homes. It’d also cost billions in lost tax revenue and trigger cuts to services like Medicaid.
This is all driven by fear and scapegoating, while the rich get tax breaks. To fight this, we need worker solidarity across all backgrounds. #labor
