So…it turns out that many people’s support for Ukraine isn’t based on a belief in the universal right to resist occupation and annexation.

[Shawn Fain @ShawnFainUAW]

We just won a just transition at General Motors.

Facing the threat of a strike at its most profitable plant, GM has agreed to put battery production under the master UAW contract.

This is what winning looks like.

It's time for us to move to a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay. Technology and worker productivity has exploded in recent years. That transformation should benefit all, not just the few. It should create more time for friends, for family, for rest, and for relaxation.

Excess parking is a financial drain on cities.
Housing is the heart of cities.

[BrianMier @BrianMteleSUR]

NYT criminalizes Brazil's rural poor today with an intellectually dishonest hit job on the Landless Rural Workers Movement, MST, parroting a neofascist narrative that ignores Brazil's Constitution to maliciously frame it as "stealing" land. This narrative encourages violence. +

NEW:

Harlan Crow paid Thomas for property.

The law explicitly requires disclosure of property sales.

Thomas didn't disclose anything.

Here's Thomas' signature on the undisclosed deal.

One silver lining to the Dianne Feinstein spectacle is that it ends the remaining veneer of “world’s greatest deliberative body” (LOL) and just very explicitly shows the Senate is a retirement home filled with people who know they’re under no obligation to do anything at all.

On Tuesday, USA Cycling champion Ethan Boyes was killed by a driver on Arguello Boulevard in The Presidio. This tragic death may have been prevented by protected bike lanes and other physical infrastructure.

Today, I’m calling for immediate improvements 🧵https://t.co/Zq7UYrKsDp

A Harvard Law professor who founded the school's environment program is paid $350,000 annually by @conocophillips – the notorious polluter developing the planet-destroying Willow oil project in Alaska.

Unethical and corrupt. @JodyFreemanHLS

The latest economic development is that your grandparents are “easing the labor shortage” when they need to come out of retirement to work in fast food

[Daniel Denvir @DanielDenvir]

For those who saw Bernie lose and concluded that a) everything is hopeless or b) everything is hopeless if we can’t organize a revolutionary movement tomorrow: just because we couldn’t from zero to the presidency in a decade does not mean we can’t win. But we gotta build to do it

[Daniel Denvir @DanielDenvir]

Brandon Johnson is latest reverberation of explosive and historic 2012 CTU strike. It demonstrates that left can and must do it all on local level. We need strong and militant labor unions, powerful community orgs, and winning electoral. If we build power then we can win power.

[Streetsblog Chicago @streetsblogchi]

.@CTA proposed doing 'L'-speed bus rapid transit on Western and/or Ashland in the early 2010s, but the project was shelved after a backlash from some drivers and merchants. Could it be revived under the next mayor?

@streetsblogchi @cta Omg Chicago needs that so badly…the radial lines are good, but there’s a huge lack of fast connectivity without going all the way to the loop. Has either mayoral candidate said anything about this proposal?

POV: you're an American who needed a heart transplant

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

BREAKING: The federal e-bike bill is BACK.

A new proposal would give Americans up to $1,500 off a new e-bike.

This bill is similar to its predecessor, which came tantalizingly close to passing last year. BUT there are some key differences.
