The "worst problem you've never heard of" is the leading cause of Black land loss in this country.
Over the years, it's seen Black families stripped of hundreds of billions of dollars in land. It's called "heirs' property."

So the Chairman of the Fed released a public message saying that Trump's illegally trying to strongarm him, meanwhile a bunch of 4-stars at the Pentagon opted to retire and remain quiet so Hegseth wouldn't mess with their pension.

This is a moral failure, not a financial failure. Instead of bargaining over fair pay, Conn-Selmer decided to ship its Ohio operations to China. Hundreds of union jobs are on the chopping block so billionaires can reap more profits. UAW members are gearing up for a big fight to keep these jobs.

Stop being a third-worldist mope and start fighting to build effective opposition to opportunism and revisionism in your parties and organizations.
There are material reasons why imperialism is bad overall for US/UK/EU workers, and we have to articulate them while building a movement for socialism.

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

330+ workers across 15 states hope to join the 250+ baristas who have unionized since mid-November alone.

So have an electoral strategy that makes that happen. You're not exactly a victim here.
What outreach + education are you doing aimed at the unorganized?
Yes CA's AB800 adds a bare minimum curriculum component but we all know the very people being endorsed by your union will ensure it's defanged

Studies show that nearly 60 million workers would join a union tomorrow if the law actually protected their right to organize.
