The Majority Report with Sam Seder

Sam and Emma host Richard Yeselson. strategic campaigner and editorial board member at Dissent Magazine, to discuss his recent essay in Jacobin "The Defeat at Amazon and the Union Fights to Come.” They contextualize what happened in Bessemer within broader Union history, explore how the Democrats’ failure to push for Union Card Check has led to a pressing need for the PRO Act, and chat what this means for the future of labor in the U.S. Additionally, Kristen Clarke’s evergreen satire turns around John Cornyn’s reverse-racism “gotcha” attempt, and Sam and Emma talk debt reveal day, the influx of transphobic policy in the U.S., and House Committees' approval of D.C. Statehood and looking into a Reparations Process.

And in the Fun Half: Warren from Toronto and our very own Matt Binder help us celebrate recent developments in media unionization, from the Ringer Union’s hard-fought success to Mashable’s current battle. Then, Geraldo Rivera goes gloves-off with Don Bongino on Hannity Primetime Hour, Tucker Carlson and his favorite “scientist”  modernize Reefer Madness, Chris from Michigan talks M4A from the healthcare worker perspective, and Kenny from Cali chats 420 Etymology and Graduate Student Worker strikes. Plus, your calls and IMs!
