Can Resistance Revive Labor? On this week’s Labor History Today: Can resistance to Trumpism help rebuild worker power? Jeremy Brecher, author of Strike!, joins labor historian Joe McCartin and organizer Stephen Lerner to discuss their argument that bold, disruptive action—from strikes to economic

People wringing their hands about the Trump regime approving firing squads are missing the point. The Trump administration has already carried out multiple public executions by firing squad, if you count the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. It's already here. crimethinc.com/sacrificialv...

As people prepare to strike for May Day, we recommend this text comparing the last two general strikes that took place in Oakland, California (in 1946 and 2011) in order to distill lessons about how to organize a general strike today: crimethinc.com/twoGeneralSt...

Yet another shooting, this time in DC. Centrists will provide cover for Trump by treating this particular shooting as a more significant tragedy than the tens of thousands of fatalities gun violence causes in the US every year. Let's talk about what it really takes to prevent a Reichstag fire. 🧵⬇️

Happy Partisans Day!! #bellaciao

On #tdih in 1974, the Carnation Revolution took place when a bloodless, anti-colonial military coup in Lisbon overthrew the Portuguese Estado Novo regime which had been waging unpopular wars to maintain its African colonies.

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

On #tdih in 1914, the Ludlow Massacre occurred when the Colorado National Guard & a private security force attacked 1,200 striking coal miners, killing 21 people. The event took place during the Colorado Coalfield War, a period of violent labor unrest in Colorado from 1913-1914.

25 years ago, in April 2001, at the high point of the movement against capitalist globalization, anarchists from around North America converged in Québec City to oppose a summit intended to establish a “Free Trade Area of the Americas” (FTAA). A blow-by-blow account of the resulting confrontations:

April 15 - The American Federation of Teachers is Founded On this day in Labor History the year was 1916. That was day that the American Federation of Teachers was founded at a meeting at the City Club in downtown Chicago. Three Chicago teachers groups helped to organize the meeting. They were co

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) was founded on #tdih in 1967. They were founded to oppose U.S. policy and participation in the Vietnam War. During the Nixon Administration, they were listed as #2 most dangerous group in the US (after the Black Panthers).

23 years after Rachel Corrie's brutal murder by IOF forces in Gaza, maybe some accountability to the American company profiting from demolishing Palestinian homes. I am doubtful that anything will come of this, but happy to see it happening. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Lumberg the boss and consultants “The Bobs” sat around and laughed about how they were fucking Milton over on pay and making him work in the basement spraying cockroaches. He had the last laugh and is an anticapitalist hero for us all.

Political singer & songwriter Phil Ochs died #tdih in 1976. Known for his sharp wit, sardonic humor & political commentary, he is best known for the songs "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" & “I Ain’t Marching Anymore." Active in Civil Rights & anti-war movements, Ochs remains an inspiration to us all.

Melania knows something big is coming regarding the Epstein files and wants to get ahead of it to try and protect herself. There is no other explanation for her speech today.

These stories from @nickturse.bsky.social are important. Besides polls showing Americans overwhelmingly opposing the war and Iran closing the Straight of Hormuz; GI hotlines being flooded with active duty dissent and former brass speaking out has to have had some effect on them giving up the war.

Capitalists care only about money.

Remembering Paul Robeson — pro athlete, actor, singer, civil rights activist, and socialist — who was #tdih in 1898. Here he is performing ‘Joe Hill’ to Scottish miners in 1949.

Happy birthday to Paul Robeson, born #tdih in 1898. Scholar, professional athlete, baritone singer, socialist and antifascist. He fought against the fascists, Jim Crow and McCarthyism. A giant of politics and culture who stood against injustice.

Remembering Ed Herman, born #tdih in 1925. An American economist, media scholar & social critic who has co-authored several works w/ Noam Chomsky, including Manufacturing Consent. He theorized that the US mass media act as a massive propaganda campaign w/out overt coercion.

As Trump threatens to end a whole civilization, it's good to remember Daniel Ellsberg today. Ellsberg, born #TDIH in 1931, was an economist & military analyst known for leaking the Pentagon Papers, which detailed the failing war in Vietnam, secret bombing campaigns & other US government lies.

Anything you hear from any ICE mercenary, FBI agent, DHS agent, Department of Justice stooge, or representative of the federal government—it's a safe bet that it is a lie. That includes sworn statements delivered under oath. Remember that from here on. Whatever they say, it's probably a lie.

It’s unbelievable that Trump is about to invade Iran, “blow up” Iran and consider all options on the table; and Democratic centrists and former Republicans only want to talk about Hasan Piker.

Not normal. Act accordingly.

Meanwhile, in Rojava, negotiations continue amid a fragile ceasefire with the Syrian military. One of the biggest sticking points is the YPJ, the Women's Protection Units. The Syrian government wants to integrate them into the police, but they refuse to surrender their autonomy. For background:
