I'm gonna do a big thread of some reported stories I did for Splinter. I hope my colleagues will do the same. Partly just to put them out one more time but also because I still hear people dismissing the death of online news outlets as if only worthless blogs were lost. Ok:
Labor history and desperation in West Virginia.
splinternews.com/how-west-virgi…
A heartbreaking union loss in Mississippi.
splinternews.com/how-the-battle…
The prison journalists of San Quentin.
splinternews.com/the-best-priso…
CTUL, one of America's best worker centers.
splinternews.com/walking-the-fl…
The only boxing gym on the Navajo reservation.
splinternews.com/the-last-great…
Guns and paranoia in Dallas.
splinternews.com/americas-paran…
Scared Nazis in DC.
splinternews.com/all-you-fascis…
The Democratic candidate in the reddest district in America.
splinternews.com/the-loneliest-…
Trump lying in West Virginia.
splinternews.com/donald-trump-w…
Antifa in Philly.
splinternews.com/the-gritty-cit…
Beto on an Iowa countertop.
splinternews.com/this-is-all-so…
The search for America's soul in Pizza Ranch.
splinternews.com/one-nation-und…
Homeless people in New Orleans.
splinternews.com/talking-to-hom…
Prison violence in Alabama.
splinternews.com/the-leaked-pho…
Angry adjunct professors in Florida.
splinternews.com/the-revenge-of…
Leadership drama at the AFL-CIO.
splinternews.com/former-afl-cio…
And a long list of interviews of politicians, union leaders, economists, authors, and activists.
splinternews.com/tag/interviews
Which is just to say that a lot of things don't get written when media outlets close down. It's not just blogs. Although the blogs were good too.

I'm going to do a thread about my reporting on the @AFLCIO. For better or worse, the AFL-CIO is at the center of the organized labor movement in America. Even people who love unions are exasperated at the AFL-CIO. But what it does matters. It's important.
1/ In 2017 I interviewed Richard Trumka, then and still the president of the AFL-CIO. What stood out most to me was when I asked him what his plan for reviving union membership was, he said vaguely, "It's multifaceted." That seemed like a bad sign. splinternews.com/richard-trumka…
2/ Later in 2017, I went to the AFL-CIO convention. I came away from there convinced that the single most important thing the AFL-CIO could do would be to pour resources into new organizing. (That is not what they are doing, for the most part). splinternews.com/what-labor-nee…

1/ In response to criticism over low wages this week, Amazon publicly urged its warehouse workers to "share your experiences working at Amazon." In fact, those workers have already been sharing their experiences for more than five years now.
2/ July 29, 2013: "This was actually the bulk of our training - to have it pounded into everyone's skull not to steal."

3/ August 6, 2013: "What truly is alarming is the amount of people that get injured on the job."

Don’t be creeped out when I tell you this. I like historic sites. Okay, that’s not the creepy part. This is: Buildings + spaces call to me. No. I don’t hear things but sometimes a feeling takes over and tells me to stop and investigate and when I do...
They lead me to fascinating places. If you’re new here, you should know that I’m currently in Memphis, TN. I’m a part of a fellowship that’s going to assist me in opening my first school. Today, a friend of mine came to scoop me for lunch and on the way there I saw something...
It was an abandoned building and the plants had taken most of the lawn over, but something said: STOP. Here’s my friend @PoeticXposure explaining it...

Sure! Make sure to also include the video where Percy explains why he's giving discovery to a non-party to share publicly 🙃

Also: if you picked "Screech and Percy are only in this for the grift money" in the betting pool, please see the cashier to collect your LOLbux

I just got into town and needed a place to stay, but for some unknown reason, everywhere seemed occupied, after checking the last motel available, I was left with no choice, but look for a secluded spot to just pass the night. It was dark, the moon had a faint glow about it, and
with all the occupied houses, one would have expected some domestic noises, but everywhere was quiet, it didn’t bother me anyway. As I walked with my backpack, I saw a house down the street that looked abandoned and overgrown with weed, “perfect spot” I thought to myself, it was
