A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

This Day in Labor History: September 10, 1897. Luzerne County sheriff deputies slaughtered 19 unarmed immigrant coal miners striking outside of Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Let's talk about the Lattimer Massacre, one of the many uses of state violence against striking workers!

Publication day! This was one of the hardest stories I’ve ever translated, both for the language and content. It’s also one of the most important stories I’ve translated. I hope as many people as possible will read it and reflect on the reality of war.

YouTube video by NBC News U.S. conducts strike on boat from Venezuela

This is the little boat that Trump bombed.

Literaly bombed it with a cruise missile.

11 people murdered.

Where are the drugs that a little skiff like that could carry, crammed with people?

Stop calling it the Venezuelan strike.

It is outright murder in international waters.

"Texas: Land of the free! Also Texas: We want you to surveil your neighbor, see if they've missed their period, snoop through their trash and mail, and sue whoever sent them medication abortion."

Thank you on this labor day!!

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new.

They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational.

It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

A poster in Spanish for an artistic collective "Subterraneous," listing free classes in drawing, painting/color, composition, and Marxist theory, featuring a caricature of Donald Trump with an insect-like body

Pleased to report the long-lived Mexican tradition of political caricature, stretching back at least as far as the great José Guadalupe Posada, is still going strong (as seen in Oaxaca). The poster lists free classes in:
-Drawing
-Painting/Color
-Composition
-Marxist Theory

BREAKING: Israel has killed at least 42 Palestinians in Gaza, hospital sources tell Al Jazeera, as Israeli forces again target people waiting for food and hospitals struggle to treat the wounded.
