Supreme Court Case On Farmworker Protections Could Harm All Regulation
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
The legacy of Cesar Chavez has been getting another look in recent months. In January, President Joe Biden placed a bust of the 20th-century labor leader in the Oval Office, giving journalists the opportunity to reexamine how Chavez fought for farmworkers, while commentators on social media noted that Chavez’s treatment of undocumented immigrants, at certain points during his life, complicates his image as a tireless champion of migrant laborers. But a sinister reexamination of Chavez’s legacy is also happening. A California labor regulation that resulted from his campaigning is u...
Fauci’s Flipflops
Francisco, Small Dead Animals - 9 hours ago
All the cool kids are wearing them. Fauci has a bad habit of seizing onto a small kernel of scientific data, drawing sweeping inferences upon it through unfounded speculation, and then presenting his own exaggerated spin to the public as if it is a matter of scientific fact. On March 28, 2020 – just shy… Continue reading →
How The US’ Anti-COVID Efforts Have Been Derailed
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
Trump loves anyone who makes him look good. When The Epoch Times unites with the U.S. right-wing forces to make him look like a superstar, he really loves them – that’s the reason the fringe cult publication became the favorite media of the Trump White House. In August 2020, the representatives of the Gateway Pundit and The Epoch Times, a website and a far right publication with long records of supporting President Trump, were admitted to the White House briefing room. Trump called on both of them to ask questions during his televised news conferences. The post How The US’ Anti-...
Washington’s Delusion Of Endless World Dominion
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
Empires live and die by their illusions. Visions of empowerment can inspire nations to scale the heights of global hegemony. Similarly, however, illusions of omnipotence can send fading empires crashing into oblivion. So it was with Great Britain in the 1950s and so it may be with the United States today. By 1956, Britain had exploited its global empire shamelessly for a decade in an effort to lift its domestic economy out of the rubble of World War II. It was looking forward to doing so for many decades to come. Then an obscure Egyptian army colonel named Gamal Abdel Nasser seize...

When Rank And File Postal Workers Whipped Bosses, Union Leaders, And Richard Nixon
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
The day after St. Patrick’s Day in New York City was often little more than an intense, city-wide hangover. But on March 18, 1970 residents of the Big Apple awoke to more than just a headache. Thousands of local Postal workers were on the picket line in defiance of both Federal Law which prohibited strikes by government employees and their own union leadership. Within days business in the commercial and financial center of the nation ground to a halt in those pre-electronic communications days and the strike spread to more than 30 cities with 200,000 off the job. It was a big ...
Our Own Rhodes Scholar does it again!
<b>bob somerby</b>, the daily howler - 9 hours ago
*WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 2021* *Bizarro World meets Manchin:* It's amazing how badly a person can be misled and misinformed by watching "cable news." As a case in point, consider Rachel Maddow's upside-down performance last night concerning the 2013 Manchin-Toomey proposal. Maddow's account of this event lasted at least ten minutes. In the course of her bizarre presentation, she reactivated her angry, sarcasm-loaded loathing of Joe Manchin (D-WVa). She also completely misinformed her viewers about the failed attempt to pass gun legislation in the wake of the Newtown killings. Alas...
