The Santa Cruz Veterans Hall is an example of what urban public space can look like: a place where DIY culture meets veteran community support—underwritten by the county government. @Becsgross explores how this decades-old space has survived and thrived.

It was such a pleasure to learn about the history of the Vets Hall, a venue I absolutely love here in Santa Cruz. You might not expect it, but there is such a rich leftist history embedded in the walls of that space, from both the punks and veterans who've called it home.

We've learned a lot from our comrades at U-Mich & their 2023 strike. Here, they write about the fight for 12-month funding, which they won after a 5 month strike. This is a demand central to our current bargaining campaign, and we too can win it. Read on to find out how:

Zohran’s victory is an earthquake. The left everywhere must dedicate itself to an insurgency against Dem incumbents. The Dem establishment has lost credibility w/ its base in the face of fascist threat. The base is looking leftward for new leadership. We are the opposition party.

The Santa Cruz tendency, in a nutshell

Power is not a dashboard metric, a spectacle, or a performance for the boss to see. Power is a deep structure of rank-and-file workers committed to wielding it through strike action. (10/14)

Workers of UAW 4811 might soon anticipate a triumphant announcement from their bargaining team (BT) lauding the “win” as they pushed the UC to commit to “open bargaining.” Those workers should be wary of any double-speak. 🧵(1/14)

Columbia fired our union president the day before we start bargaining—less than a week after allowing ICE to abduct our coworker. Join us tomorrow to make sure they can hear us from the bargaining table!

This is a worker issue as much as it is a student issue. Thinking about my union sibling this morning. Free Mahmoud Khalil.

Mahmoud Khalil is a former @UAW & @UAWRegion9A member—our union stands with him and against the Trump administration’s attacks on higher education, immigrant workers, and freedom of speech.

I can only react to this image as I am: a Jew. To make Jewish words and phrases interchangeable with ICE detention is to make Judaism the face of fascism. This has happened in Israel and will happen here if we allow it
