We “hunted” down a very busy and tired Chris Smalls, the worker organizer that Amazon fired. Jef Bezos subsequently maligned him. I had to get up to pull him in as he was about to leave the conference. He had a lot to say in a few words. Right-Wing Dark Money Group Gets $1.6 Billion Donation From Tax-Dodging Business Mogul: One observer called the massive gift “an extraordinary manipulation of loopholes in tax and campaign finance law.” A right-wing dark money group controlled by Leonard Leo—a legal activist who has played an outsized role in packing the U.S. Supreme Court with conservative ideologues—was the beneficiary of a massive, possibly unprecedented donation of $1.6 billion from a shadowy electronics mogul with ties to the Koch network. The enormous infusion of cash, first reported Monday by the New York Times, could bolster and embolden right-wing efforts to drag the U.S. judicial and political systems even further to the right for decades to come, imperiling the climate, what’s left of abortion r

The 20/20 Valuations appraiser who lowballed the black professors Nathan Connolly & Shani Mott’s home by nearly 300K detailed in a New York Times article is a thief. It is an underhanded way to steal wealth in a near antiseptic and subliminal manner. The New York Times reported the following from the article “Home Appraised With a Black Owner: $472,000. With a White Owner: $750,000.” Last summer, Nathan Connolly and his wife, Shani Mott, welcomed an appraiser into their house in Baltimore, hoping to take advantage of historically low-interest rates and refinance their mortgage. They believed that their house — improved with a new $5,000 tankless water heater and $35,000 in other renovations — was worth much more than the $450,000 that they paid for it in 2017.Home prices have been on the rise nationwide since the pandemic; in Baltimore, they have gone up 42 percent in the past five years, according to Zillow.com. But 20/20 Valuations, a Maryland appraisal company, put the home’s value at $472,000, and in

Briege McP refutes an article that compares the Republican Party to Ireland’s Sinn Fein: Professor/Political Activist & PDR Posse Leader Briege McP visited with us to refute an article that compared the Republican Party to Sinn Fein. Republicans’ new voters turn out less while Democrats do the opposite. And that may swing midterm: We must examine the Kansas vote and polling more closely.

Chuck Crews proved that he understands the district he aims to represent. As a chemical engineer, he makes an honest broker between the chemical/oil companies and the community. I found the interview with Mr. Crews very refreshing. As an engineer myself, I understand why he knows at this point in our history why it is imperative that a representative is one who can have a substantive dialogue with the companies that employ a large percentage of one's constituents. Please listen to the entire interview. It is well worth it. Mr. Crews is a template for nonpoliticians to enter the political space. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

Why Republicans Turned Against the Environment: In 1990, Congress passed an amendment to the Clean Air Act of 1970, among other things taking action against acid rain, urban smog, and ozone. The legislation was highly successful, greatly reducing pollution at far lower cost than business interest groups had predicted. I sometimes see people trying to use acid rain as an example of environmental alarmism — hey, it was a big issue in the 1980s, but now hardly anyone talks about it. But the reason we don’t talk about it is that policy largely solved the problem. Lula Holds 12-Point Lead Over Bolsonaro as Brazil’s Presidential Race Heats Up: The leftist champion’s double-digit lead in the polls comes amid fears that the far-right incumbent’s baseless accusations of fraud and threats to stay in office no matter the outcome could lead to violence. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a celebrated leftist who lifted millions out of poverty during his tenure as Brazil’s president, continues to hold a substantial lead over f

Professor/Political Activist & PDR Posse Leader Briege McP visited with us to refute an article that compared the Republican Party to Sinn Fein. Briege McP recently read an article on the Coffee Party USA Facebook page. She was taken aback because she thought it mischaracterized the real struggles in Northern Ireland as it equated the MAGA Republican Party with Sinn Fein. In the Dispatch article titled “Is the Republican Party Becoming the Sinn Féin of America?” the first two paragraphs were justifiably problematic tWhile Briege agrees partially that Sinn Fein had the IRA on the side, it is essential to know that there were two sides to the IRA. “One more political, one more violent,” Briege wrote. “Yet, both socialists, as is Sein Fein. The GOP is not socialist. But to compare our current GOP and the people like the Proud boys or the like would not be Sein Fein and the IRA. Although those people do believe they are fighting for the freedom of their country, they are not. Nor are the GOP. Apples and Orang

This Time the Collapse Will Be Global: The archeological remains of past civilizations, including those of the prehistoric Cahokia temple mound complex in Illinois, are sobering reminders of our fate. I am standing atop a 100-foot-high temple mound, the largest known earthwork in the Americas built by prehistoric peoples.
