Straight up fascist behavior

My mom's new book on organizing is available for pre-order! It's a profound source of wisdom, insight, and inspiration, Bernie knows what's up: "I’ve known Ellen David Friedman for many years. She knows what it takes to organize and give people real hope.” —‎Senator Bernie Sanders

"India is repeating exactly the past that happened in China with overcapacity."

"More than 50 UK higher education institutions... accept an online test from the American tech company — whose mascot is a lime-green owl — as proof that undergraduate students can cope with studying in a foreign language." FT going for the jugular

Taiwan: I therefore made it clear to my interlocutors that Germany's One-China policy remains unchanged, but any effort toward reunification or unification between China and Taiwan can only be achieved peacefully and not by military means." www.bundeskanzler.de/bk-de/aktuel...

As a baseball fan I am willing to swallow this tough pill. But just noting that MLB almost certainly has the highest % of non-citizen players, presumably their political views are somewhat better

In 2025, Taiwan was Singapore's largest trading partner. www.singstat.gov.sg/modules/info...

The president of St. John's University's announcement that the school will no longer recognize its two faculty unions is a shameful union-busting move. SJU faculty have been working for 236 days without a contract. Please sign the petition below to demand a return to the bargaining table.

MAGA can't stop cribbing notes from Chinese gov 传播正能量

Cornell students out there doing the Lord's work

Small town America doesn't want data centers

I graduated from Bard and I agree, he needs to go

Japan: soooo about that $550 billion in investment we promised, turns out the thing is

"'Because there’s nothing in writing, there’s no policy I can point to,' another faculty member told the newspaper. Purdue has since warned faculty against speaking with the media." Fight authoritarianism, get it in writing

Normal boss behavior

I've seen the Chinese gov engage in all kinds of grotesque repression of labor activism, but this is a new level of absurdity. Solidarity to the Hungry Panda workers!

An interview with my mom reflecting on decades of labor and political organizing. I'm biased but it's great. Includes discussion of her role with Jesse's campaigns in the 80s longhaulmag.com/long-talk-fr...

Billionaire stands against taxing billionaires "Zhang... [Argued] that Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, may ultimately lack the power to push through aggressive tax increases on wealthy New Yorkers and should instead focus on 'concrete things' like garbage collection."

A consciously created human catastrophe that everyone in the US is seemingly indifferent to or actively supporting

*Initiate 100 yard stare* Take a seat son. Let's start with the labor theory of value. *Kid runs out of the room*

When they ask you to censor yourself, get it in writing! "we do not need to comply with oral directives. We demand written directives."

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Majority Uyghur workforce at Hesheng Silicon in Xinjiang struck over months of unpaid wages. Unbelievably brave of them, given everything

OMG JUST PAY THEM MORE

Our Climate Jobs Institute is hiring

What does it *feel like* to build worker power? Season two of Haymarket Originals is bringing you inside one of the most dynamic and inspiring organizing drives in the labor movement today. Heat The Ground Up is an oral history of Starbucks Workers United, voiced by the baristas who built it.

Hong Kong is putting a senior citizen in jail because they disagree with his daughter's political views

Please give the Republican Party the strength and wisdom to go all in investigating the world's most popular musician for using potty language on TV

Fabulous news

funny how that’s the case, cause the number 64 is in reference to the fake death toll emitted by the Rosselló Government during Hurricane María, I see some parallels here

goodnight

Obviously not the big story from the incredible show last night, but this is getting scrubbed from China's internet

How it's going in Macau

I actually feel sorry for the losers who are going to subject themselves to the Kid Rock alt half time show, no person should have to endure that

Party of free speech strikes again

I love China and hip hop so I was an easy sell but I can't recommend this @equatormag.bsky.social piece enough. It is so hard to get good essays in English about life in China; this one is about so much more than music (though it's got that too)

Policy of foreign non-intervention: "The [Chinese] consulate general urges the [Kazakh] government to pay rigorous attention and take appropriate measures with severe interrogation results."

Great sloganeering from activists in Singapore

These numbers are pretty incredible

PRC has always treated human labor as any other factor of production, to be developed and deployed as precisely as possible in response to economic demands. A good chance this very elitist system allows China to "win" but with major consequences for social equality and individuals' mental health

Despite current appearances, we will defeat ICE

Ithaca's showing up tomorrow!

Good news. But still abolish ICE.

god bless none of this is true for the vast, vast majority of Chinese workers.

Any analyses out there of the implications for workers of all these new trade deals? I support the impulse to build trade infrastructure bypassing the US, but feels like EU and others are using the crisis to undermine labor. VDL and Modi not exactly champions of the working class

These protests reveal ongoing and systemic crises in schools, hospitals, and workplaces. Respect to these heroes
