WorkWeek looks at the war in Ukraine and the effort by the US to unite the world against Russia is leading to an aggressive shutdown of dissident anti-war voices in the United States. Chris Hedges, a former New York Time journalist who has won a Pulitzer Prize is one of those who has been targeted by the US imperialist propaganda machine.
His show which was on RT was shut down and youtube owned by Google deleted his entire archive of shows over
years. We interviewed Hedges about the war on journalism that questions US imperialism.
Next WorkWeek looks at the re-districting in San Francisco that has led to a major blow-up when Mayor London Breed and the developers who control her tried to ramrod a jerry rigged redistricting plan that broke up districts and communities and also harmed Black, Brown and Asians.

He is running for LA city council on the West Side as the only independent working class candidate. Lloyd talks

forcing them to commute and with the high cost of gas this means economic disaster.
