From @redemmas in Baltimore to @PilsenCommBooks in Chicago, co-op bookstores show what happens when culture is treated as a public good—not just another product to be optimized, extracted from and sold back to us.

The Trump administration says it “digs coal.” Meanwhile, @grimkim reports, it has delayed a silica dust rule, gutted a mine safety review agency and left coal miners facing greater risk of injury, disease and death. inthesetimes.com/article/tru…

This is essentially the Prairieland model. Define a loose coalition of activists opposed to the government's immigration policies as Antifa, make the case that Antifa is a terrorist organization, & then prosecute them on conspiracy charges. We're going to see a lot more of this.

Five years after Starbucks workers in Buffalo made history, @SBWorkersUnited has grown to nearly 700 unionized stores across the USA.
The workers helped define a new era of labor organizing. Now they’re still fighting for the contract they deserve.

He writes that the threat to the world is coming from Washington.

The announcement of an end to the war does not change the crisis in an oil-rich region, higher prices for working people, and new gains for fossil fuel companies.
Meghan Schneider and Cass DiPaola write on taxing the corporations cashing in.

A possible end to the war does not make it lawful in retrospect.
The U.S. and Israel went to war against Iran without congressional authorization, without UN Security Council approval, and without an armed attack that could justify self-defense.

Higher ed needs a new vision — one that unites students and workers around teaching, learning, and the opportunity working people deserve.
Boards and administrative decisions have made college inaccessible, turning our schools into targets.
It's time for that to change.
Before NYU faculty withheld their labor, they built power: organizing across depts, refusing administration’s narrower bargaining unit, & bringing students into the fight.
When they struck, many students joined the picket line or refused to attend class.

The center isn’t holding, and the base isn’t waiting. As Democratic leadership hems and hawws through war, deportation and billionaire rule, a new Left is organizing in the streets, at work and at the ballot box.

In Michigan, residents fighting a proposed data center are organizing through working groups, monthly meetings, food, child care and a spokescouncil-style structure.
No one is in charge. Everyone is finding a way to help stop it.

Prediction markets are sold as the “wisdom of the crowd.”
But on Polymarket, a Bloomberg analysis found that most profits went to a tiny slice of accounts that looked like automated bots.
Everyone else lost $131 million in aggregate.
