We walk through what is happening on the ground there, point to some great reporting and advocacy, and note the mainstream media's lack of coverage.<br/><br/>People to follow: <br/>Kim Kelly <a href='https://twitter.com/GrimKim' rel='noopener'>https://twitter.com/GrimKim</a><br/>Valley Labor Report <a href='https://twitter.com/LaborReporters' rel='noopener'>https://twitter.com/LaborReporters</a> <br/>Haeden Wright <a href='https://twitter.com/HaedenWright' rel='noopener'>https://twitter.com/HaedenWright</a><br/><br/>Timestamps:<br/>00:23 - Intro - John Cena and Bin Laden<br/>03:18 - JD Vance (John Dammit) NY Post article<br/>13:57 - Announcements<br/>17:20 - UMWA Strike<br/>43:51 - Beef with Big John (meta beef)<br/><br/><br/>Support the strike pantry <a href='https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/UMWAStrikePantry' rel='noopener'>https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/UMWAStrikePantry</a>
