When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

It’s been a long day of bargaining with Vox Media, fighting hard to get a fair contract with better salaries, AI protections, the inclusion of the Dodo in our union, and much more. Come tomorrow, there’s only two days left in our contract — Vox Media, stop dragging your feet.

It was my honor to join my Vox Media Union colleagues in bargaining as they fight for a fair contract. Sites like Vox and the Verge are the last good websites on the internet because of the HUMANS who write and produce the smart, critical content we read, and those humans deserve a fair contract!
thank you so much to @adamconover.net for showing up for us today and reminding Vox Media management the importance of HUMAN labor
