In cased you missed the news, Melissa Harris-Perry will be the latest addition to the new, post-Olbermann line-up at @MSNBC.  Her new two hour weekend show starts February 4th at 10am.

What Labor and Progressives Can Learn from Occupy Wall Street

I stumbled across this interview which Sarah Jaffe conducted with Steven Lerner, a traditional labor organizer, and was amazed I hadn’t noticed it when it dropped at Alternet.
