Automakers have long used the threat of relocating to discipline workers, which has led the UAW to embrace Trump’s tariffs. But tariffs won't solve the problem of competition from nonunion firms nor eliminate management’s ability to exploit nonunion labor.

Hospitals in England could shed 100,000 jobs. No impact assessment produced. A Wes Streeting recipe for privatisation dressed up as efficiency drive. NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to the private sector. 30% -40% of money will vanish in profits. Money will buy less. Must resist.

Again, this is how you know the whole DOGE thing is absolute bullshit. We’re apparently on the brink of financial ruin at all times when it comes to Social Security or healthcare or college in this country while simultaneously there’s infinite money when it comes to war.

Five ambulances, a fire truck and a UN vehicle were struck one by one. The bodies of the first responders were then ditched in a mass grave. A war crime. Without anything close to the appropriate level of global outrage.

Ann Arbor City Council ( #A2Council ) has fought for 42 years to smother every resolution against aid to Israel. Even now. Look! -https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/world/middleeast/gaza-medics-killed-israel.html So I don't believe your passion about the height of housing, because you're heartless.

Ann Arbor City Council - #A2Council - ignores the simple policy choice of filling the city with high-quality public housing. About half of Vienna, Austria lives in that very affordable public housing. I've seen it and it's quite pleasant. Read all about it here: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Ann Arbor City Council - #A2Council -is still dedicated to saving Israel from the public's outrage, still invested in the Biden-Harris-Trump genocide on #Gaza.

Ann Arbor City Council is consumed largely by two things: (1) Filling the city with luxury housing and a permanent luxury donor base for their campaigns, and (2) Fueling Israel's ongoing Holocaust against #Gaza -- by stonewalling my resolution to oppose military aid to Israel. Shame on #A2Council.

Only 15 U.S. Senators voted to disapprove pending arms sales to Israel, while Trump and Netanyahu openly plan to ethnically cleanse and annex Gaza. Inexplicable 'nay' votes by Ossoff and Warnock, who voted in favor of a similar resolution in November.
