We can’t revive labor without reviving workers’ confidence to take action on the job.
In 1936 and into 1937, during a period of union weakness, Flint’s sit-down strikers in the auto industry figured out how to do just that.

Four more have supported abolishing ICE in the past.

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.
In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.
Without the night shift, there is no morning.
NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway
Gov. Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about Trump searching for any justification to deploy the military in a blue city to try and intimidate his political rivals. This is about Trump searching for ways to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections
NPC member Colleen J explains how the Red Star caucus's recent takeover of the Growth & Development Committee has led to internal dysfunction, conflict, and an unhealthy and anti-democratic culture — and forced her to leave.

Sumathy K (NYC-DSA) says: "I could not have asked for a better co-chair than Jeremy. He led NYC DSA in challenging times with the clarity, commitment, and relentless focus on growing the left that we need to win tangible working-class power. He will do the same on the NPC!"
We're excited to introduce Jeremy C for NPC, a longstanding NYC-DSA electoral powerhouse. A socialist who studies teachers unions, political economy, philosophy, and Marxist theory, he recently worked on his 30th (!!!) DSA campaign with Zohran for Mayor.
ICYMI: 9,000 Philadelphia city workers are on strike for the first time in 40 years as they fight for better pay, benefits, and more.

Solidarity!
NEW: in the wake of devastating floods in tx, some officials say NWS forecasts weren't sufficient enough to warn them, while others are warning that DOGE cuts may have made predictions less accurate.
meteorologists told me: NWS did a solid job with the forecasts around this storm
crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants
DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases.
This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can.
ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.
I think the Catholic Church should do this every day in every city

The cities ICE is choosing aren’t random — they are cities with a long legacy of resistance against injustice. They are, much like the millions of immigrants living in this country, scapegoats for what’s to come. They’re pretexts for a massive escalation of violence.
EVERYBODY WATCH.
ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.
Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.
He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.
Don’t turn away.
And for the record, fighting against the unjust kidnapping of our neighbors and loved ones is actually exactly where those we elected should be.
