“When workers at the historic Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper hit the picket line in October of 2022, they had no idea that they would be on strike for more than three years — or that the strike would end with new owners taking over the paper and most of the former strikers losing their jobs. But now, a new chapter is being written. This week, workers and community supporters launched the cooperative news organization, the Pittsburgh Progress, which aims to uplift the voices of working-class communities. Working People’s Maximillian Alvarez sat down with several former strikers at the Post-Gazette (now worker-owners of the Progress) to discuss what the birth of the Progress means for working people in and beyond Pittsburgh.” (08/25/26)

“Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos joins me for our weekly conversation and we’re both quickly tiring of living under the watchful eye of big brother and his helpers. The excuse of ‘I’m not doing anything illegal’ is small comfort when the definition of illegal changes according to whomever is in power.” (08/25/26)
