Ghilarducci for @ProSyn: “While 55% of Americans say their financial situation is deteriorating, the wealth of the top 1% is reaching record highs. Against this backdrop, defending billionaires from 'oppressive' taxation is politically convenient nonsense” project-syndicate.org/commen…

When we fight, we win—and get some great press coverage to boot! This week, after trying to break our union by illegally firing and disciplining our members, Condé Nast settled with the NewsGuild.

“Employers are not choosing workplace control over the maximization of profits, but seeking to maintain workplace control as the means for maximizing profits” – Vivek Chibber

Why Bosses Spend More Money Stopping Unions Than Paying Workers @Jacobin Columnist @chactivist joins us to break down how the managerial class protects its "zone of freedom" through captive audience meetings and one-on-one supervisor surveillance. 🧵

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

My latest piece for @jacobin takes a deep look into how much employers spend on union busting, why they’re willing to spend so much to keep workers from having a voice at work, and how honesty, clarity, and unity are key to winning. jacobin.com/2026/05/union-bu…

Hey fam is it socialist to advocate for the import of cheap consumer goods from China, "where free independent unions are literally outlawed" (@chactivist), thereby eviscerating domestic unions & manufacturing capacity?

This article doesn’t once acknowledge how disastrous global trade policies have been for the US working class & doesn’t seriously address the problem of having unionized US workers compete with workers in countries like China where free independent unions are literally outlawed.

Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket. The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.

It's time to nationalize the airlines. Air travel is a public good, and taking the profit out of the system would mean cheaper flights and cheaper shipping. Nationalization would also mean the public air service would be bound to serve the whole country, like the post office. Right now taxpayers are already subsidizing the airlines via billions of dollars of bailouts and subsidies. We deserve a say in how they are run. Let's make airlines work for us instead of padding the pockets of billionaires.

People across the world kicked off May Day with large marches and protests as many workers grapple with rising energy costs and shrinking purchasing power tied to the Iran war. Also known as International Workers’ Day or Labor Day, the holiday highlights the struggles and achievements of workers worldwide. Thousands are taking to the streets from Asia to Europe and beyond calling for stronger labor protections, higher wages and greater equality while drawing attention to stagnant incomes and the rising cost of living.

The largest union local in New England is also one of the most militant. Outgoing @massteacher president Max Page discusses how education workers shook off their fear, organized illegal strikes, and won improvements for students and workers: jacobin.com/2026/05/page-mas…

I was an avid @jacobin reader for years before I started writing there. The magazine has played an immensely valuable role in reviving the socialist Left in the contemporary United States and I am so damn proud to get to be part of it. If you aren't subscribed, today's the day!
