This is what we get for having fake political parties in the US. A party is an organization you join, pay dues to, and have a voice in. In a real party you vote on which member from among your ranks will represent you, and that person has to follow the platform chosen by members or lose their job.

another Thing I Will Keep Saying: there is of course an important moral case for internationalism. but the practical case for it can start by simply noticing how internationalist the people robbing you are (however nationalist their rhetoric might be)

The labor movement needs more organizers. You don't necessarily need a ton of organizing experience, but you do need to be willing to learn, talk to strangers, travel a lot, and work long hours. It's not a normal job, or life, but also you get to be a union organizer, which is pretty amazing!

Trump gutted the National Labor Relations Board and things are already getting grim. The new board’s first memo signal its intentions to hamstring organizing and worker mobility, allow captive audience meetings, and deny college athletes’ right to unionize. www.nlrbedge.com/p/acting-gen...

DOGE is looking for tech solutions to improve air traffic control because that's how Elon and his friends make money. Meanwhile, what we actually need to make flying safer is better working conditions for the people who have been keeping travelers safe for decades while pleading for more support.

A BBC study just found that generative AI can't even generate news story synopses with any consistent accuracy, and here we are happily pretending it's a symmetrical replacement for education and experience

I think that labor organizing has a lot to offer figuring out how to organize right now, because we’re all basically just individual workers scared of retaliation from the bosses.

People gotta get it through their thick skulls: Elon Musk is not actually good at business. Tesla would have died many times over by now, if not for outright fraud. The tactics he is using on government now have destroyed Twitter as an experience and business. His other companies aren't profitable.

There is something that can compel employers to recognize unions in the absence of a functioning NLRB: worker power. Striking for recognition forces employers to the table and ensures that they take you seriously when you get there.

“They apparently just sort of walked past security and said: ‘Get out of my way,’ and they’re looking for access for the IT systems, as they have in other agencies,” said a former Noaa official. “They will have access to the entire computer system, a lot of which is confidential information.”

This podcast ep about tenant organizing is exactly what we need right now. We can beat the ruling class and build a better world if we want to. That's not cope or empty optimism, it's just true. We can win if we use strategies with a demonstrated record of success and commit to doing the work.

Imagine complaining about fucking puppets when the whole country is falling apart and the newly empowered fascists are determined to make an example out of Chicago. Given the opportunity to defend freedom of expression these ghouls decided they'd rather do the enemy's work for them.
