Argentina's far-right US puppet President Javier Milei is openly calling for a military coup in Venezuela. Milei (who strongly supports Israel's genocide in Gaza) said Argentina refuses to recognize President Maduro's electoral victory, and called for the army to overthrow him.

DICTADOR MADURO, AFUERA!!! Los venezolanos eligieron terminar con la dictadura comunista de Nicolás Maduro. Los datos anuncian una victoria aplastante de la oposición y el mundo aguarda que reconozca la derrota luego de años de socialismo, miseria, decadencia y muerte.…

BREAKING: Effective Immediately. The Water Transport Workers Federation of India representing workers at 11 major Indian ports will refuse to load or unload weapons to Israel. This is in solidarity with a call by Palestinian trade unions. India sends $7bn in arms to Israel a year

Urgent call for solidarity with unionizing Amazon workers. Call and email today to tell Amazon that they can't threaten to fire workers for protected union activity!!

🎥Our first episode is LIVE! Feat. the union drive @ Amazon’s biggest air hub, KCVG. 100s of workers have signed union cards, w/ bold demands like $30/hr. Corporate media hasn't covered this union drive. Workers need media of our own. Watch & SUBSCRIBE youtube.com/watch?v=jw01q9…

All workers win if UPS workers get $25/hr & a strong contract. Workers Strike Back firmly supports the fight for a NO vote. A strong labor movement is built through robust debate around real issues, not by telling workers who we can or cannot listen to.

Nobody has the right to tell our coworkers “Hey, I know better about your conditions than you do. Do what I say.” Groups like this don’t believe in workers figuring out this world for themselves. They see us as pieces for them to play with.

The housing movement, rent control and no eviction is escalating in a beautiful way! Decent housing is a human right! This is manifesting clearly in this struggle in Seattle! Press Release: cornelwest24.org/press_release_…

Thank @cmkshama. This current @UPS tentative agreement is not “historic”. Another contract that benefits only one party, UPS. Time for all UPS rank-and-file to VOTE NO. Did we just forget that we worked through a pandemic for the last 3 years.

Watch @cmkshama on @RevBlackNetwork: Workers Strike Back stands w/ UPS Teamsters urging workers to vote NO & escalate to win more. Register for our public meeting SUNDAY @ 3 pm ET to discuss the contract & get organized. All in solidarity are welcome: tinyurl.com/WSB-UPSContract

.@CMAndrewJLewis's choice to vote no against the rent control bill is deeply disappointing. You don't represent the entire state—you represent SEATTLE. Seattle has a history of leading the rest of WA on tenant protections, not the other way around. Be a champion for YOUR PEOPLE

Outrageous that @TeresaCMosqueda wouldn’t give union members a straight answer when we asked if she would vote YES on strong rent control & urge other Dems to do the same. No more excuses! Rank and file union members need rent control NOW!

Seattle Workers Strike Back activists, working-class renters, and union members are fighting to win the strong citywide rent control legislation brought forward by socialist City Councilmember and WSB activist @cmkshama. youtu.be/wwph07Uq6tk

Norfolk Southern owes every single family in the area the ability to leave. This whole working class community is trapped. NS should offer to buy out every home at x2 pre-crash market value on top of a $1mil check per family to weather the costs of lost income.

From our organizer in East Palestine: the dam constructed to hold back toxic waste has broken after today’s heavy rain and the area is flooding. Safe homes and independent testing NOW.

Please vote no on the SEA's TA! It is not good enough for educators or children. The staffing ratios still aren't good enough. The compensation is no where near what we need to live in a city like Seattle. This TA does not protect us where we need it! #SEAStrong
