“Medicare for All means freedom, including freedom to strike.”

From Deadspin to picket lines at GM and in Chicago, a moral workplace is 2020’s stealth issue | Will Bunch:

"For decades, U.S. workers have stared into the abyss of what could go wrong by standing up for what they think is right — a grand canyon that could mean not just losing a paycheck but losing the ability to see a doctor or to someday pay for their kids’ college education — and then usually turned back away from the abyss. That’s why the showdown at Deadspin, the strikes at GM. Mack Truck or by Chicago teachers, and even a renaissance of whistleblowers in Washington, all feel in some way part of a dramatic sea change in how work gets done in this country.

"And as the spirit of rebellion spreads from the picket line to the cubicle farm, it’s also becoming a below-the-radar issue on the 2020 campaign for control of the White House and Congress. It reflects the growing awareness that the need to cling to employer-provided health insurance and pay for an overpriced university education — either for your kids, or the weight of your own college debt — isn’t just tough economics. It’s a form of social control."

New York cops can't hide their records now.

Opinion | Good Riddance to One of America’s Strongest Police Secrecy Laws - The New York Times : "New York took a step toward reform with the repeal Tuesday evening of a state law known as 50-a, a decades-old measure that has allowed the police to keep the disciplinary and personnel records of officers secret. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is expected to sign the bill. "New York’s 50-a is one of the strongest police secrecy laws in the country, the spoils of the unfettered political power New York police unions have enjoyed. "For generations, the law has been used to keep officers accused of misconduct, as well as the departments they work for, from public scrutiny. "Activists and police reformers have fought to repeal the law for years. Just a year ago, those efforts went nowhere. The State Legislature, even under a new Democratic majority, declined to change or repeal it. Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose administration has interpreted 50-a more strictly than his predecessors, sa...

Ubiquitous video recording hinders police lying.

Video evidence increasingly disproves police narratives : "Civil rights lawyer Michael Avery, who is the board president of the National Police Accountability Project, said false claims by the police had long been known to inner-city communities. "'But what is happening now with video, this is getting out into the larger world, into the media, into white communities, suburban communities, and people outside the affected communities are becoming more aware of what’s going on,' he said. 'It’s a completely different situation.' "When he started practicing law 50 years ago, Avery said, claims of misconduct were hard to prove because it was often one person’s word against 'an officer and the officer’s buddies.' "The habit of police giving false testimony is so widely known in New York that it has long been nicknamed 'testilying.' Officers are rarely held accountable because they enjoy broad legal protections, and prosecutors almost never...

Georgia Elections Catastrophe

Georgia Voting Meltdown Leads to Uproar: ‘I Refuse Not to Be Heard’ - The New York Times : "Georgia’s statewide primary elections on Tuesday were overwhelmed by a full-scale meltdown of new voting systems put in place after widespread claims of voter suppression during the state’s 2018 governor’s election. . . . "With Republican-leaning Georgia emerging as a possible battleground in this year’s presidential election and home to two competitive Senate races, the voting mess rattled Democratic officials and voters, with some blaming the state’s Republican governor and secretary of state for hastily instituting a new voting system without enough provisional ballots in case the voting machines did not function."
