I'm so getting this book from @js-tan.bsky.social & Clarissa Redwine. bayareacurrent.com/against-tech...

So sad this mentality was born in the Bay Area. Our heritage includes the Summer of Love and amazing, groundbreaking art and music. Now: greed and amorality.

Thanks so much @werd.io !

Barnes & Noble has named "The Nerd Reich" a Best Business Book of 2026.

Funny, I never thought of it as a business book. But it makes sense.

It exposes a cult of apocalyptic billionaires who believe it is their destiny to destroy democracy. Buy it today!

Tech workers had begun to organize themselves into unions and collective struggle which threatened the capital class. Shoutout to @js-tan.bsky.social and Clarissa Redwine's new book on @haymarketbooks.org.

(A friend of mine was part of the organizing effort that resulted in Kickstarted United!)

In 2022, @js-tan.bsky.social & Clarissa Redwine, tech workers turned union organizers, were working 14-hour days organizing a strike at Elon Musk’s newly purchased, workforce-slashed Twitter, calling every employee they could still reach. In the end, just one of the organizing committee was left.

Can Tech Workers Take on the Oligarchs?In 2022, Tan and Redwine, both tech workers turned union organizers, were working 14-hour days trying to organize a strike at Elon Musk's newly purchased, workforce-slashed Twitter. They called every employee they could still reach. In the end, just one member of the organizing committee was left.
