Author John Judis will discuss his new book "The Populist Explosion: How the Great Recession Transformed American and European Politics" today at noon at the AFL-CIO. Judis places contemporary trends, including the rise of Donald Trump, in historical perspective. And at 6p tonight, be part of the discussion about what’s ahead for the local and national labor movement under President Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress, as Metro Washington Council Executive Director Carlos Jimenez moderates what's expected to be a lively discussion with political writer Harold Meyerson, UFCW 400's Dyana Forester and Jews United for Justice's Joanna Blotner. "Here’s your chance to vent, to mourn, and to begin organizing," says Jimenez. FREE; RSVP here. See Calendar for details on both events. photo: Anti-Trump protesters block 395 on Monday
