An iconic Denver-area restaurant had a surprise guest recently:

“Members of the Casa Bonita United union met up at the iconic restaurant last Friday to eat lunch and chat with their fellow entertainment workers before delivering a letter to management.

Only they didn’t deliver the letter: Brooke Shields, actress and president of Actors’ Equity Association, did.”

Do you shop at or belong to REI?

Some of the shops have been unionized, or are trying to. Management has been repressive; anti-union.

The pro-union folks are threatening a boycott of REI’s big annual sale if management doesn’t start to play nice.

You can add your name in support of said boycott here: https://www.ourrei.com/boycott

"On March 20, members of the ProPublica Guild, one of the largest nonprofit newsroom unions in the U.S., overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike. Out of the roughly 150 journalists, copyeditors, videographers and other newsroom workers in the Guild, 92% of members voted to walk off the job if ProPublica doesn’t agree to their contract terms in the coming weeks.

The vote comes two and a half years into negotiations over the Guild’s first collective bargaining agreement, which started soon after the union was recognized back in August 2023.

One of the sticking points at the bargaining table has been an article that would prohibit ProPublica from laying off employees due to AI adoption. Alongside the dispute over AI, the Guild is also pushing for “just cause” when firing unit members, a provision that would give senior employees more job security during layoffs, and cost-of-living wage increases.

The Guild’s vote marks the first time a major U.S. newsroom has authorized a strike, at least in part, over AI protections."

What is #Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?

The company conducts #MassSurveillance in the service of #StateViolence, from #ICE’s #deportation machine to the #genocide in #Gaza.

By Kenny Morris, Feb 11, 2026

"#PeterThiel is a central co-founder of Palantir. He is a #billionaire venture #capitalist, conservative libertarian, and an early investor in Facebook who made much of his money from founding PayPal. According to Theil, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.

[...]

How can we stop Palantir?

"#AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.

"Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:

- Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
- Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
- Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK].

"Learn more about the company and join the growing campaign to stand up to Palantir."
