In the U.S., we’re told to love our jobs, and to find meaning in them, as if work were a family, or a religion. On May Day, revisit Jill Lepore on how the unravelling of the labor movement ushered in a new era of work as life.

What’s Wrong with the Way We Work

Americans are told to give their all—time, labor, and passion—to their jobs. But do their jobs give enough back?

Sometimes it is less like political *philosophy* (where the philosopher belongs to a community without community) and more like *political* science - not in the current sense of “a science of politics” but something written with its practical utility for the masses or for the people in view.

Israel military razed Gaza perimeter land to create ‘kill zone’, soldiers say

Combatants’ testimonies describe how areas were destroyed to create ‘a death zone of enormous proportions’ Israel’s military razed huge swathes of land inside the perimeter of Gaza and ordered troops to turn the area into a “kill zone” where anybody who entered was a target, according to testimony by soldiers who carried out the plan. Israeli combatants said they were ordered to destroy homes, factories and farmland roughly 1km (0.6 miles) inside the perimeter of Gaza to make a “buffer zone”, with one describing the area as looking like Hiroshima.

The urge to police the past is hardly an invention of the Trump Administration. It is the reflexive obsession of autocrats everywhere.

🟠 Krizin meydanlara taştığı an: İspanya’da 'Öfkeliler' hareketi ve siyasi mirası

✍ Diyar Saraçoğlu, 2008 sonrası İspanya'daki Indignados hareketi ve neoliberal kriz karşısındaki toplumsal direniş hakkında yazdı.

🔗 buff.ly/xs2t1i6

Fotoğrafta, büyük bir şehir meydanında gerçekleşen kitlesel bir protesto veya halk hareketi sahnesi yer alıyor. Meydan, yoğun bir kalabalıkla dolmuş; insanlar ayakta ya da yere oturmuş şekilde toplanmış. Alanın ortasında bir kişi megafonla konuşurken, etrafındakiler dikkatle dinliyor veya kamerayla kayıt alıyor.
Arka planda mavi, yeşil ve beyaz brandalarla oluşturulmuş çadır benzeri yapılar ve barikatlar görülüyor. Çevrede birçok pankart ve döviz yer alıyor; bazıları İspanyolca yazılmış ve ekonomik kriz, işsizlik gibi taleplere işaret ediyor. Meydanın etrafında klasik Avrupa mimarisi tarzında çok katlı beyaz binalar bulunuyor. Sol üstte sarı balonlar havaya salınmış.
Fotoğrafın sol üst köşesinde “Diyar Saraçoğlu yazdı” ibaresi, sol alt köşede ise biamag cumartesi logosu yer almakta. Görsel, İspanya’daki 15 Mayıs hareketi (15-M) ya da benzeri bir halk direnişini yansıtan, dayanışma, öfke ve ortak mücadele atmosferini taşıyan bir meydan sahnesini betimliyor.
