Volkswagen will negotiate with UAW at the Tennessee plant where the union won a landmark election (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…), the company just confirmed in a joint statement with UAW. NLRB certified UAW's win, meaning company is legally required to collectively bargain.

The rules-based international order, folks

hearing that the students in our UConn campus jail are not being fed. also we have a campus jail.

New from Shawn Fain:

lmao get bent, bozo

What's unusual is:

FYI Israel said they’re invading Rafah no matter what. That’s why encampments are spreading. That’s why we must escalate. That’s why all eyes on Rafah.

This kind of thing is going to teach these students more about power than four years of political science could ever do

No one asks how Palestinian students are supposed to 'feel safe' at institutions who invest in and profit off of the murder of their relatives.

“this does not help your cause” - guy who hates you and your cause

Liberals purposefully misconstrue the nature of power to diminish movements they don't like. The point of a strike isn't to 'persuade' the boss — it's to withhold labor. The point of a student protest isn't to 'persuade' admins — it's to disrupt campus until demands are met.

It is absolutely nuts for the state party to be saying 'April is slow and quiet' in the midst of historic student activism and widespread state oppression of peaceful protesters, holy shit

Beware of establishment authoritarianism masquerading as progressive media too.

The union of Southwest Airlines flight attendants has ratified a new contract that includes a 22.3% raise starting tomorrow and $364 million in back pay.

They're now the highest paid attendants in the industry.

This deal will change thousands of lives.

Another case of pure projection: what’s more nihilistic than finding it impossible to believe that young people’s moral imagination is so big that it encompasses the Palestinian people being murdered by American weapons?
