New brick addition to downtown—somewhere on the Harbor. 😂

Two (2) MA fellowships at Concordia in deindustrialization studies.

Big agree with this post—take a look at the gofundme below And not the most important part of the story, but Tom Alter is a remarkable scholar—in a less repressive era/country, some fancy school would recruit him. I recommend buying/reading his work! www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=47...

A university fired a tenured labor historian? The terminated prof is author of one of the great books of this century. This sucks glad this is getting the attention it deserves since it’s disgusting

There’s a good chance that I’ll be wearing this same shirt at the book launch. or the cat shirt. It’s a toss up

My latest—an interview in the @uwapress.uw.edu blog to commemorate the publication of my new book, “Red Harbor: Radical Unionism and Class Struggle in the Pacific Northwest” uwpressblog.com

Thankeee, @dhprice.bsky.social for linking to my new Counterpunch article—The Far Right & the Further Right in Lumber Country. 2 sections of the American Right fighting for power.

I wrote an article for Counterpunch about the Right in US History—specifically from a century ago. Features here include the KKK, a mayoral coup, businessmen vigilantes, and the Congressman whose name is atop the 1924 immigration restriction law—Albert Johnson www.counterpunch.org/2025/08/29/a...

Pie Down Here w/ Robin D.G. Kelley Featuring Robin D.G. Kelley listening back and reflecting upon old tapes of the interviews with sharecroppers he conducted in the 1980s while researching Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists during the Great Depression. This is an episode of Signal Hill, a new aud

How's this?

Woohoo! Look what came in the mail today. At long last, decades after I started my study of community and radicalism in Grays Harbor, “Red Harbor” is here. Big thanks to the @uwapress.bsky.social and the coolest book blurbers around. And that’s Sabo—named for you know who 15 sweet years ago

BREAKING: Workers at Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks just won their union elections. They are the first national parks to unionize in several years.

Howard Zinn, who would've been 103 today, is rightly remembered for works like “A People’s History of the United States.” But he was also an antiwar activist who went to North Vietnam in 1968 to accompany three captured US pilots back home.

I don’t know if this is a good place to advertise Washington State History Museum events. But I see that they are hosting something called “Red Harbor” on Saturday, September 13, for the annual Fenbert “Challenging History” event. I think that means me…in Tacoma, at the History Museum: 5:30 pm.

Death and Life Under Capitalism w/ Sarah Jaffe Featuring Sarah Jaffe on her book From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire. The ordinary death of a loved one under a capitalist order that routinely forbids sufficient time off to mourn. Workplace injuries, deindustrialization, police

Jaz Brisack’s new book," Get on the Job and Organize," is a gripping first-person account of how @sbworkersunited.org—which recently celebrated its 600th unionized store—organized so many small and high-turnover shops, our editor Jenny Brown writes:

Said it before but I guess it bears repeating: Always judge books by covers. And by blurbs/advanced praise. @uwapress.bsky.social

A highlight of my year at Peninsula was scoring this office sign.

Jess ordered us some ass candy recently. Good stuff, always good stuff

Wahhhhhhhhh!!! 😭 😭 😭

So this is another Onion article that is mostly correct. Have you seen the cool-as-hell union gear recently?

A good project that I’ll never do: “History of Washington Bosses and the Making of the Far Right” The “recent history” sections about Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, etc. could be something special (Of course part of their gimmicks is that they not right-wing. 😝 😆 😂)

Hey hey, all of a sudden August is here—MY NEW BOOK IS COMING OUT THIS MONTH! uwapress.uw.edu/book/9780295... A lil something for those with an interest in working-class history, boss studies, and the Pacific Northwest. And the blurbs are so nice—from some cool cats 40% off sale from the UW Press!

“Union Conditions Lengthen Life” Yes, thank you. We know.

So… Wonderful didn’t even pay their fake anti-union protesters the full amount they promised? Lmao this is depraved, but also clown town

My latest piece @thenation.com is the loving, heartfelt tribute you've been waiting for: "Real American Scumbag: Hulk Hogan Was a Racist, Liar, and Scab" www.thenation.com/article/soci...

According to Microsoft, the second job to be replaced by AI will be historians Which reminds me of when the most Microsoft-connected state governor in history took a tour of the Washington State Library and proclaimed to the workers: “You’d all better learn to code pretty quickly.”

Don’t scab

The worst CEO-to-worker pay ratio out of ALL S&P 500 companies in 2024. WOW. When Starbucks and CEO Brian Niccol tries to tell us they can't afford fair union contracts... remember this.

Approximately 1 out of every 6 U.S. teachers works a second job.

I’m just glad my website is coming together so smoothly

What a great damn deal! 40% off

It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the DC33 city worker strike in Philly so far. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country. Hell, I’ll write about it for ya! Email me! www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...

Day 3 of the DC 33 city workers strike, and South Philly STINKS. Tell Mayor Parker to clean up her mess and pay the workers what they’re worth!!! 🚮

Centrist Dems not only enabling this, not only tacitly giving the green light, but crossing their damn fingers.

Writing career peaked early

This is a good point but is also why journalists like Bouie are less likely to get to interview Jeffries in such a context. Chomsky put it well in 1996 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnFU...

Glad that I logged onto Bluesky so that I could see this great news

Anti-scab legislation becomes law today in Canada, meaning federally-regulated employers can be fined up to $100k for using replacement workers when their employees are locked out or on strike. After using scabs for 2 weeks, DHL shut down operations across Canada today.

NYT serving as bag men and boot kickers for the worst people—but points to their tech and artistic workers for making such an attractive map

Putin on Le Figaro helping the world to understand how those in American power operate:

Excited to share the *incredible* cover for the Church Committee Report! The first version of the 1975 report on illegal surveillance & the national security state ever published by a mainstream press. Abridged/introduced by @brianhochman.bsky.social and I. Published by W.W. Norton January 2026.

Police “union” ICE “union” Electric chair operators’ “union”

I am therefore announcing a moratorium on NBC news using the term “experts” until further notice.

We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off. This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive". We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

It's crazy to me that we have on video that cop just deciding to randomly shoot at the back of an Australian journalist while she was reporting, but this level of injuries isn't raising a hell of a lot more concern than the flaming Waymos.
