NEXT WEEK US labor & imperialism pt. 1: the war against communism w/ @jeffschuhrke.bsky.social

new miniseries underway

Willian Giménez González, Chicago day laborer and beloved worker leader in Chicago, is now free from ICE custody. I spoke to him about his ordeal, and what solidarity looks like in this moment. "They should do more to stop this so we can stop living this nightmare," he said.

If you're in NYC, come see me discuss my new book with Sumaya Awad this Friday evening. Organized by @haymarketbooks.org RSVP here: events.haymarketbooks.org/events/hayma...

The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/new-orlean...

"At first glance it sounds impossible—but a strategic look back at the coordinated strikes and militancy of the past two decades shows we might be much closer than we think. We’ve laid the groundwork." by @alexhan.bsky.social for @labornotes.bsky.social labornotes.org/2025/12/mayb...

Rail workers are sounding the alarm. A proposed Norfolk Southern–Union Pacific mega-merger would mean longer hours, more chaos, fewer jobs and even more danger for workers and communities. @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social of the Working People Podcast digs into why this is a disaster in the making.

I've been working for a while on this investigation into the deadly labor that built the US nuclear weapons/energy sector. The federal government built the uranium mining industry disproportionately on Navajo lands where men are 28.6X more likely to develop cancer.

Happening now near Canal Street, federal agents had been staging inside a fed owned parking garage, now being confronted by a group of protesters. masked agents are looking on from above.

"Given the historic role its top leaders have played in one-sidedly bolstering Israel, the US labor movement has a special responsibility to stand with Palestinians in their struggle for liberation.” – Jeff Schuhrke

BREAKING: A new wave of union baristas are joining the longest ULP strike in Starbucks history! 2,500 union baristas across 120+ stores in 85 cities are now on an open-ended ULP strike. We're SIXTEEN DAYS in and only getting stronger ✊

Say it with us 🗣️: What's disgusting? Union busting! We're FOURTEEN DAYS into our national ULP strike. Thousands of workers in over 65 cities are out on strike, and this is just the beginning. #nocontractnocoffee

While ICE abductions, often in broad daylight, have provoked fear and outrage, the escalation is also unleashing a less visible form of economic treachery on Chicago’s immigrant working class: wage theft, lost income, work speedups, and economic slumps that spread through neighborhoods. My latest.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

On Sept. 30, our union family in the Palestinian Postal Service Workers Union (PPSWU) sent a message asking for support and solidarity in the months ahead. View their letter and leave a message in solidarity:

How Zionism got a foothold in the US labor movement. A podcast episode on @jeffschuhrke.bsky.social's fascinating book, from @haymarketbooks.org

“The success of union organizing against racism/imperialism has been deliberately erased history in America. Labour chronicler Jeff Schuhrke’s new book ‘No Neutrals There: US Labor, Zionism, and the Struggle for Palestine’ is essential reading to understand labour’s complicity in genocide.”

Striking for Palestine: The future of resistance in labour struggles in America

Just finished @jeffschuhrke.bsky.social's incredible new book on the US Labor movement's long, sordid history of support for Israeli colonialism. Just like his previous book, Blue Collar Empire, it's an absolute must read for those fighting for international working class solidarity!

I'm reviewing the book in an episode podcast this Sunday. A must read for any socialist, Palestine solidarity organizer, and trade unionists!

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks. This distribution center is Starbucks’ largest on the East Coast, which is why we’re showing up to send a message. We're ready to continue escalating our ULP strike until Starbucks does the right thing. #NoContractNoCoffee

A very stirring review by a noted activist for independent unionism in Egypt. Eager to read No Neutrals There and planning to do it collectively. We need union visions and union models in accord with them that have anti-imperialism at the heart.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

My review

No Neutrals There by @jeffschuhrke.bsky.social “is both an indictment and a summons, calling on workers — and on all of us — to recognise that the struggle for Palestine is inseparable from the struggle for justice.” @ysl.bsky.social

Even beyond the prospects of a ceasefire, the United Electrical Workers are calling for an end to US military aid to Israel—and why other unions should be working towards the same thing.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

In his new book, No Neutrals There: US Labor, Zionism, and the Struggle for Palestine, historian Jeff Schuhrke explains that the U.S. labor movement has never been neutral when it comes to Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

"The labor movement could conceivably do things like this today around Israeli apartheid." Jeff Schuhrke compares US labor's response to South African apartheid versus Israeli apartheid. Full @truthout.org interview: truthout.org/articles/the... Check out his new book from @haymarketbooks.org.

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

Palestine has long been a labor issue, but real solidarity in U.S. unions is now emerging from rank-and-file workers, not leadership that has historically sided with the wrong side.

I posted on Instagram but I feel like the Bluesky peeps would appreciate some nonfiction recommendations. Here's my book stack. I don't have enough characters, so I put the list from top to bottom in alt text. Also, that's Stanley at the top. Stanley the Fox. Also Greg the cup. He's nice.
