Welcome to Thinkwing Radio with Mike Honig (@ThinkwingRadio), a listener call-in show (every Monday night from 9-10PM CT) on KPFT-FM 90.1 (Houston). My engineer and discussion partner is Egberto Willies (@EgbertoWillies).
For the purposes of this show, I operate on two mottoes:
You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts;
An educated electorate is a prerequisite for a democracy.
GUESTS: (More complete biographical info on my guests are below Source links.)
Rene’ Lara, Legislative and Political Director of theTexas AFL-CIO, which is a federation of public-sector and private-sector labor unions in Texas, including affiliates representing teachers, firefighters, plumbers, flight attendants, steelworkers, nurses, communications and electrical workers, and many others.(See more complete bio below topical links)

POSSIBLE TOPICS: Unions and Labor Day, and the future of the labor movement in America
“Without the labor advances won by #Unions, #Capitalism itself might not exist today.” ~ Me
Let’s talk first about Labor Day. How was it created, and why is it in September instead of May Day, like the rest of the world’s equivalent labor celebrations?
The Labor Union movement was strong after WW2. What happened to weaken it?
Conservatives have succeeded in villainizing unions in the minds of many workers. How have they accomplished that?
How can it be reversed?
“We continually try to read Conservatives through Liberal-colored glasses. When we try to see things as Conservatives see them through their own eyes, understanding can arise. From that understanding can come effective Progressive responses.” ~ Michael R. Honig, 4/28/2015 (inspired by Jackson Galaxy)
Is that a trick that progressives and labor groups need to try to learn, and can they?
Is the political labor pendulum beginning to swing the other way now?
Judging from the current political and legal climate, it almost seems like labor organizing needs to start over again.
What will labor organizing look like as the 21st century progresses?
I loved this quote: “We feel that the group’s tactics are over the top,” said Carol Wight, chief executive of the New Mexico Restaurant Association. “I think there are nicer, more effective ways of getting what you want — achieving justice for workers.”
The article makes 2 important points:
Unions, at least in New Mexico, have not shown much interest in organizing low-wage workers;
“Workers Committees” are easier to organize than unions.
What does this development mean for workers in the future?
What does it mean for unions going forward?
Unions need money to do their work, whether it’s paying full-time officials, forming strike funds or funding political action.
Can unions survive in their current form, and if so, how?
If unions have to change, what might those changes look like?
Specifically, does the AFL-CIO and it’s brother and sister unions have new strategies going forward that we can discuss here tonight?

SIGN-OFF QUOTE[s]:
“We’ve got to get back to the focus of what’s going on right now, which is really a moment in American history where we’ve had an unprecedented attack on our elections, and how are we as a nation going to respond? … [W]e see this from the French elections… they intend to continue to [COME AT] this country. So, this is a [PAUL REVERE] moment, the Russians are coming. What are we going to do about it? ~ Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), on “Erin Burnett OutFront” (Video and story atMediaite, May 10th, 2017)COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT from CNN
Regarding the Voting Issue: We are concerned how to identify/fix voter registration problems, machine & system issues, & gerrymandering.
Brent Turner, a member of the National Association of Voting Officials,has asked the 50 states for a forensic analysis. We need complete transparency in the process. I’ve attached some common-sense/proposed solutions to the problem.

Mark Twain Elementary School: Group: Water Warriors

Wetlands are advantageous to the environment as they help maintain our water quality, recharge aquifers, reduce flood damage from storms, sustain many habitats for a variety plants and animals such as migratory birds, and are vital to the economy as they are popular tourist attractions as well as part of the fishing industry.
Unfortunately, wetland acreage has been decreasing significantly because of human development.
Texas has lost over half of its wetlands since European settlement of the area equivalent to seven million acres.
Therefore, the group would like to raise awareness to protect this habitat.
They participated in Marsh Mania last month through the Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) and helped plant over 6000 stalks of smooth cordgrass in Dickinson, Texas. The GBF has preserved, protected, and restored over 16,500 acres of wetland habitat since its founding in 1987.
More stats:
The Galveston Bay watershed has lost more than 30,000 acres of freshwater and saltwater wetlands between 1953 and 1989.
An additional 365 acres of saltwater wetlands and 13,538 acres of freshwater wetlands have been lost to development in a 15 year period (1996-2010) which totals 13% of all wetlands.
Marsh Mania began in 1999 and has involved more than 7,700 community volunteers who have restored over 207 acres of vital salt marsh habitat at 89 sites around Galveston Bay.
Smooth cordgrasses are planted to prevent the weathering and erosion of sediment along the shores of wetlands and create needed habitats for organisms such as migratory birds.

“Let me warn you and let me warn the nation against the smooth evasion which says, ‘Of course we believe all these things; we believe in social security; we believe in work for the unemployed; we believe in saving homes. Cross our hearts and hope to die, we believe in all these things; but we do not like the way the present Administration is doing them. Just turn them over to us. We will do all of them—we will do more of them, we will do them better; and, most important of all, the doing of them will not cost anybody anything.”
“But, my friends, these evaders are banking too heavily on the shortness of our memories. No one will forget that they had their golden opportunity—twelve long years of it.
“Remember, too, that the first essential of doing a job well is to want to see the job done. Make no mistake about this: The Republican leadership today is not against the way we have done the job. The Republican leadership is against the job’s being done.” ~ Franklin D. Rooselvelt, Address at the Democratic State Convention, Syracuse, N.Y. (September 29, 1936) See Video excerpt here.

SIGN-OFF QUOTE[s]:
`[These children] are Man’s,’ said the Spirit, looking down upon them. `And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it.’ cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. `Slander those who tell it ye. Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse. And abide the end.’
`Have they no refuge or resource.’ cried Scrooge.
`Are there no prisons.’ said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. `Are there no workhouses.’~ A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens (A CHRISTMAS CAROL)

SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“In my work with the defendants [at the Nuremberg Trials, 1945-1949] I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” ~ Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials http://www.crisispapers.org/essays8p/empathy.htm(For attribution, I found this information here.

SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“Unhappy events abroad have retaught us two simple truths about the liberty of a democratic people. The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any other controlling private power. The second truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if its business system does not provide employment and produce and distribute goods in such a way as to sustain an acceptable standard of living. Both lessons hit home. Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt, “Simple Truths” message to Congress (April 29, 1938) Click here for full textClick here for contemporary analysis of the speech in TIME Magazine
