Ableism In The Workplace, Culturally Responsive Care & My Burger Bar Story

The history of union-busting is one of denying safety and well-being to workers. We don't want a "right to work", we want our right to collective bargaining, and beyond that we want to live free of capital!

Revolution

Evidence Shows Right To Work Laws Hurt Workers

America is doomed unless it can create and foster communism. Democrats are controlled opposition and our government serves the ruling class.

Class Struggle In Colombia With Rainer Shea

Fuel crisis in Lebanon is a smoking gun for imperialist US sanctions, global capitalism and the fossil fuel industry at large. Antifascists foil proud boys' "summer of peace" rally. Unity workers are blowing the whistle on GovTech contracts for the military industrial complex.

A few corrections: "privatize" (nationalization of resources is what we would support)
"Stock" exchange (we meant to say "stonk exchange")
& WOW the "fortnite sweepstakes" the US Army did weren't even real, they were literally just links redirecting gamers to enlist: https://win.gg/news/twitch-requires-us-army-to-remove-fake-sweepstakes-promotions/

Here is my best attempt to summarize everything I've learned about Israeli apartheid and how I came to support Palestinian resistance.
