Ride or die for Scott
I’m sorry but this is actually the biggest story of the night. Scott is a Ford worker out of Local 551 who was instrumental in reforming the UAW, winning direct elections in the union, and electing Shawn Fain The best working class politics story of the night

union eraser @netflix
it’s funny that there are no union jobs represented because I vividly remember a mini-viral (now deleted) TikTok from 2022 where a really annoying woman being interviewed about dating in Boston complained that “every guy is 5’8” & in a union”

look at my beautiful boy up there
Shout out to @DemSocialists for having me speak at the 2026 democratic socialist summit. You can tell a working class movement is gaining steam by how much the corporate media and political establishment are freaking out.

it's so so important to see a high profile elected official actually humanize incarcerated people. i can't think of another instance of anything like this in my lifetime tbh. Zohran is the real deal

This is the beginning of a government crackdown on the militant wing of the labor movement We’ve seen this before with the framing and expulsion of Ron Carey from the Teamsters after the 1997 UPS strike Everyone needs to back the UAW to the hilt. We need Shawn Fain right now

So much of the discourse around flipping non-union indies is insane The entertainment unions want their members to have work and it's immediately against their self interest to make a production unviable to shoot The line of argument is so contrived and tired out

hadn't heard about this but thank god. this is a huge resource for folks especially with other low cost travel like Spirit going away and it would be a big loss for the city if we let it disappear
Chicago City Council just approved the purchase of the South Loop Greyhound station for $19 million. This means, by late summer, the city could be running its first public-owned intercity bus terminal.
