“The U. S. has directly armed, funded, provided military and diplomatic support for the killing — so residents have a stake in knowing what their support is leading to, and what voices are represented in influential political shows is of tremendous importance.”

While striking remains a risky proposition for most federal employees, there are still meaningful ways to engage in collective action and solidarity. This is evidenced by the @fedworkersunited.bsky.social, an alliance of unionists from across the government.

The Answer to Trump’s Anti-Worker Shutdown Is Solidarity and Labor Militancy
The GOP’s assault on federal employees amid the government shutdown is far more extreme than Reagan’s PATCO union busting. The labor movement needs a more effective response this time.

"It’s not as if there aren’t plenty of media-ready Palestinian or Palestinian-American guests to choose from, chief among them Palestinian-American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who has not appeared on any of the major Sunday news shows since 2019."

Parable of the Sower was one of those glaring gaps in my reading that I finally fixed just a year or so ago, and beyond how good it is in its own right, it was EASILY the eeriest "this could have been written yesterday about tomorrow" experience I've EVER had.

Half of U.S. workers have no retirement plan, and millions of seniors live in poverty. It’s time for universal retirement access—a system that lets everyone build a nest egg, no matter the job.

J. Patrick Patterson brings you the next big idea.
More Than Social Security; Universal Retirement Access for All
Every worker, no matter the job, should have a reliable way to build a nest egg.

Even during the worst phase of the Gaza genocide, the world looks away. Palestinians are being starved, isolated, and killed as Israel blocks aid and intensifies its assault.

Even in a government shutdown, the 13th largest army in the world wages war in Chicago. ICE’s militarized raids & abductions are terrorizing communities—while billions are poured into their hands.

@sarahlazare.bsky.social & @lindsaykosh.bsky.social report:
inthesetimes.com/article/ice-...
A group of uniformed SWAT officers, wearing tactical gear and masks, stand alert on a street. Parked police vehicles and trees are visible behind them. A large crowd of protesters gather around a white van on a sunny day. People raise their fists and signs, including one reading “No Kings,” expressing defiance. A group of Illinois State Police officers, in uniform with protective gear and helmets, stand in formation holding batons, facing a crowd. The officers appear focused and tense, with sunlight casting strong shadows.
