Reproduction of a poster for an election rally in 1935, sponsored by three communist candidates, including JB Salsberg. It says, “Vote Against Hunger, Facism and War! Elect Genuine Working Class Candidates!”

My grandfather’s 1st cousin was J.B. Salsberg, a prominent Jewish labour organizer and the only Communist (Labour-Progressive) MPP in Ontario. He was also an alderman in Toronto, representing Spadina and Kensington Market.

“Vote Against Hunger, Facism and War” is still a pretty solid slogan, TBH.

Sweeping tariff regime would usher in new age of abundance? Hasn’t happened

Manufacturing jobs will come back “very quickly?” Manufacturing activity has seen some of the largest contractions in years in the last few months

Yikes

Sec. Kennedy’s move to bow down to anti-vaxxers & cancel $500 million in mRNA vaccine development funding is bad for public health, bad for science, & will stop U.S. researchers from making discoveries in the fight against cancer, respiratory illnesses, & much more.

These young people are fighting for their lives & lawful democratic governance. Their #CupOfJoe is full of hope for a liveable future.

The Voting Rights Act Turns 60. Its Future Has Never Looked More Fragile. Six decades after the most important federal statute protecting the right to vote was signed into law, advocates say, Black political power is hanging by a thread.

Today marks 60 years since the Voting Rights Act was signed, a hard-won victory that should have secured our constitutional right to vote.

“We’re watching the worst president in history manipulate the worst White House press corps in history every day,” says MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.
And to that I say amen.

Tariffs have been a signature achievement of Trump’s second term agenda.

Administration says effect will be a balanced trade deficit and a rebuilt manufacturing capability. A majority of Americans, however — confused by stop-and-start rollout & higher prices — disapprove. @nytimes.com

Springsteen's label was about to drop him. Then came 'Born to Run' Biographer Peter Ames Carlin describes the making of Born to Run as an "existential moment" for Springsteen: "If this didn't work, he was done." Carlin's new book is Tonight in Jungleland.

Fact check:

mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).

This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.

Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.

The right to vote is the fundamental right from which all of our rights flow.

As we mark this 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we’ve got a lot of work to do to protect voting rights. I’ve never been more motivated to do this work because I believe American democracy depends on it.

RFK Jr. pulls $500 million in funding for vaccine development The Department of Health and Human Services plans to cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu.

RFK Jr. is putting every single American in jeopardy because he's committed to wild, unfounded conspiracy theories about vaccine science. This won't make America more healthy—it will lead to unnecessary sickness and death. apnews.com/article/kenn...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "A rightwing blogger, who has credentials at the WH, came to an area where some of the legislators are staying and started reporting online about it. He then put up a map and put a pin on the map and said, 'This is where these Texas legislators are.' So that started this."

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions.

If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:

I don’t care how many times you shake the Etch A Sketch trying to redraw these lines. I’m not disappearing.

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

This is no accident. Remember, DHS did the same thing a few weeks ago. They love using Nazi imagery.

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.
