“Look for the union label!” Remember that little ditty on TV that promoted consumption of union-made goods and products? It’s good advice, whether you’re purchasing a car or appliance, clothing, food or drinks. Consumers have tremendous power to affect the common good by focusing their buying habits on union-made, union-grown, union-marketed products. Employers will eventually become more favorable to unionization when they see their unionized competition is gaining on them owing to popular favor.
Maybe the same principle can be applied to organizations that solicit our financial support healthcare institutions and advocacy groups, human rights, arts, environmental, religious, gun control, voting rights, etc.

John Berman about a number of political topics of the day. But it was his dire warning of our current political media landscape that is likely the most eyebrow-raising, at least for readers of a website the covers the intersection of media and politics.
After speaking about the current state of the Covid-economy and a lackluster jobs report last week, Keilar asked her guest about what looks like the now-inevitable prospects of pro-Trump

Liz Cheney as Conference Chair. “When you’re looking at this, obviously we see the state of the party, but what does it say to you about the state of the union, about the state of American democracy?”
Proof That the Pandemic Was Planned & With Purpose
A group of over 500 medical doctors in Germany called ‘Doctors for Information’ made a shocking statement during a national press conference: (1)
‘THE CORONA PANIC IS A PLAY. IT’S A SCAM. A SWINDLE. IT’S HIGH TIME WE UNDERSTOOD THAT WE’RE IN THE MIDST OF A GLOBAL CRIME.’ This large group of medical experts publishes a medical newspaper on 500,000 copies every week, to inform the public about the massive misinformation in the mainstream media. They also organize mass protests in Europe, like the one on August 29, 2020 where 12 million people signed up and several millions actually showed up.
Walter Mondale dies at age 93

(JTA) - Walter Mondale, the former vice president who represented a time in American history when being pro-Israel and progressive were often synonymous, has died at 93.
He passed away Monday at his home in Minneapolis, multiple sources reported.
From the launch of his national political career, Mondale was close to the national Jewish and pro-Israel communities. He found in those organizations willing partners in his endeavors to expand civil rights, and they found in him an avid advocate of Israel.
Mondale acted as a buffer between President Jimmy Carter, under whom he served as vice president, and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and when the talks that culminated in an Israel-Egypt peace deal turned tense. Begin was said to favor the company of the affable Mondale over Carter, who was standoffish.
