Starbucks workers are planning to strike, beginning tomorrow, at locations that are unionized. They need our support to gain a fair contract & a living wage. DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE If you go to non-unionized locations, give your name, to be shouted when your order is ready, as "Unionize Now"

In the end, Deciding to Win reads less like analysis and more like self-justification for a faction of donors and consultants eager to blame the left for their own failures, says Sam Rosenthal of @rootsaction.org.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory belongs to everyone working for human rights and social justice. Despite the efforts by billionaires and supporters of Israel’s genocidal policies, this grassroots campaign has won. (1/2)

It's great to see Pelosi stepping down (maybe) but it unfortunately looks like the Democratic Party's plan is to hand off the seat to local liberal & ardent zionist Scott Weiner. Voters be damned. 👎

A year after Trump won, why won’t the @democrats.org change their playbook ❓ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... The party leadership’s devotion to economic elites continues to evade scrutiny. Read the latest from @normansolomon.bsky.social in @theguardian.com

An optimistic read of the news that Trump wants to restart nuclear testing is that he's responding to Russia's Burevestnik test and isn't clear on the difference between a nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered missile, which is understandable and fine if you're not the president of the United States

NSPM-7 targets individuals and orgs that disagree with Trump, regardless of whether they've violated any laws. This incredible assault on the First Amendment is extremely dangerous. Click to urge your members of Congress to immediately undo the memorandum with actual legislation: bit.ly/undonspm7

Law enforcement needs to rein in ICE's anti-press abuses and investigate ICE attacks on independent journalists in Chicagoland. A coalition of Chicago and national press freedom orgs explained why in a letter to the Broadview Police Department and Illinois State Police today.

A major immigration raid in Chicago last week led to dozens of arrests, including of green card holders and U.S. citizens. While the Trump administration has released a highly produced video of the raid, it still has not answered basic questions about the operation.

For years, local governments & police departments have cooperated with federal agencies through the Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Now, through Trump's new NPSM-7 directive, these task forces will focus on “leftist” groups. History shows us what happens when our movements are targeted by the feds.

What it means to be "at war" has shifted dramatically. Norman Solomon explains. Read the article, now on Salon www.salon.com/2025/09/08/f...

9 decades have passed since aerial technology began assisting war makers—since then, it has become a tool of systemic brutality. Loyal to the “war on terror” brand, the American media establishment barely feigns concern about civilian deaths & suffering. @normansolomon.bsky.social in @thenation.com

Buttigieg has revived a real problem for his presidential aspirations: the perception that he behaves too much like a political windsock, shifting with strong breezes rather than sticking with conviction. @normansolomon.bsky.social in @thehill.com

From Guernica to Gaza, Air War Is a Horror That Lets Its Perpetrators off the Hook An idea has emerged among US leaders that it’s not really a war if Americans are above it all & aren’t dying. But what is it to the civilians below? Read @normansolomon.bsky.social in @commondreams.org:

'Let the Public See Where Democrats Really Stand': Full DNC Floor Vote Demanded on Gaza "We are demanding a roll-call vote so that every DNC member is accountable for where they stand in this historic moment." @commondreams.org @ninaturner.bsky.social @rokhanna.bsky.social

RootsAction statement on DNC’s defeat of resolution for arms embargo on Israel: "A party that refuses to call for an end to arming genocide is a party that is continuing the moral collapse of the Biden administration that made the start of the genocide possible." Full statement below 👇

DNC leaders once again had the chance to take a stand on Gaza and failed. A resolution calling for an arms embargo against Israel has been voted down. Pathetic.

Why has the death (& cover up) of Los Angeles anti-ICE protester Adrienne Villa gone virtually unreported? There is very little information about this alarming incident. An utter failure by local and national media. This deserves much more attention!

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!

Will the DNC End Their Complicity in Israeli Genocide or Double Down? As apologists for Israel, Dem leaders in Congress & at the DNC are doing major damage to the party's prospects for next year’s midterm elections or defeating the Rep. ticket in '28 @normansolomon.bsky.social in @commondreams.org:
