#661 I want to replace everyone there with a robot immediately (preview)
TODAY: Alex is joined by Jacob Morrison of the excellent Valley Labor Report to discuss the recent Longshoremen strike, their tentative agreement after winning higher wages, and the continued fight for the future of their jobs. Was the strike a nefarious pro-Trump worker action meant to make the Democrats look bad? Is the based right wing going to last a nanosecond before demanding union workers be fired? Will these overpaid, lazy workers ever stop being unfairly exploited by their wealthy union leaders?

#659 I thought they wanted to defund police.. Ironic (preview)
TODAY: We're joined by Ben Clarkson and Matt Bors, authors of the comic series Justice Warriors, to promote the second installment: Justice Warriors: Vote Harder. We talk to them about their satirical, dystopic world of government-operated killdozers collecting rent and taxes from the slums and protecting the insulated Bubble City, a paradise of diversity and tolerance and entertainment. ALSO: 5 University of California campuses receive their yearly shipment of killdozers...er less-than-lethal military policing tools. Seems like college kids have all the fun. PLUS: In red states where the pledge of allegiance is mandatory for students, the "bill of rights" forces them to allow parents to opt out of their child reciting the pledge. One of these permission slips goes viral and confuses a million angry Facebook users.
