Summary

This week, Riley (@raaleh), Hussein (@HKesvani), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and speak with leftist tech writer (and tech industry veteran) Wendy Liu (@dellsystem) about Silicon Valley’s labour force, what it means to unionise tech workers, and how she escaped the thrall of tech-libertarianism. During the interview, Wendy mentions an article by Alex Press (@alexnpress ) about organising the tech sector. You can read it here: https://nplusonemag.com/issue-31/politics/code-red/ You can commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from http://www.lilcomrade.com/. You can also purchase useful kitchen implements from our socialist cookware sponsor, Vremi (https://vremi.com/). Nate (@inthesedeserts) produced this with a special ingredient: care (and impotent fury).
