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?

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.

Why Electric Literature Is Leaving Twitter - Electric Literature X has become a dystopian shadow of itself—and a very bad place for literature

“8 hours for work. 8 hours for rest. 8 hours for what we will.”

On 1 May 1886, thousands of American workers & trade unionists went on strike for the right to an 8-hour day.

Despite state violence — they won.

🧵What role do trade unions play in Britain, 139 years on?

‘This is what victory looks like’: Inside Israel’s aggressive new security plan Shaken by October 7, the country is seizing territory and flattening villages to build buffer zones while routinely striking neighbours

‘“This is what victory looks like. The IDF is here, and the communities below are protected and active,” Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on a tour of the area last month. “And the [Lebanese] villages on the other side are crushed.”’ on.ft.com/4ie9vqB

Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands Federal officials said Harvard must enact “merit-based reform” in hiring and admissions, among other things. Harvard called the demands unlawful.

"“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” said Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, in a statement to the university"

Democratizing Finance to Defeat the Far Right: Part One — History & Political Economy Project Michael McCarthy and Quinn Slobodian in conversation

“Focusing on the public-private divide is in fact a distraction from a more important issue. The real focus should be on empowering the demos – ordinary people.” @itsmccarthy.bsky.social and @quinnslobodian.com in conversation on our blog. Check back on Monday for part 2!

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.

How Much Discomfort Is the Whole World Worth? - Boston Review Movement building requires a culture of listening—not mastery of the right language.

Organizing on the scale that our struggles demand means finding common ground with a broad spectrum of people, many of whom we would never otherwise interact with, & building a shared practice of politics in the pursuit of more just outcomes.
