“They Actually Had a List”: #ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark #LaborRights Case
“We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly #ProUnion worker leaders,” said a union official about a raid in western New York.

"An immigration raid in western #NewYork on Friday targeted a group of immigrants involved in a landmark statewide effort by #FarmWorkers to #unionize.
"On Friday morning at around 9:30 a.m., federal agents in unmarked cars and bearing no agency insignia pulled over a bus in Albion, New York, about 35 miles west of Rochester, and took 14 people of Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms into custody. All of the detainees, who hailed from Mexico and Guatemala, were year-round employees of Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms, a family-owned business in nearby Kent, New York, which has been locked in a multiyear battle to prevent workers from unionizing.
"The company is one of five agricultural businesses that, together with a state growers’ association, have tried for years to overturn or chip away at New York’s 2019 #FarmLaborLaw. The law enshrined protections for the right of #farmworkers — whether seasonal or year-round — to seek union representation.
" 'This was strange because they actually had a list of most of the workers on the bus.'
"Several of the workers taken into custody on Friday have been active in efforts to unionize year-round employees, including at least one who has spoken publicly in favor of joining the United Farm Workers of America, according to Elizabeth Strater, director of strategic campaigns for #UFW, the storied labor union.
" 'We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,' said Strater.
"Most of the workers detained on Friday hail from #Mexico or #Guatemala.
"The raid did not appear to be a broad sweep but rather a targeted enforcement aimed at specific people, according to sources who have been in contact with the families and spoke to The Intercept on condition of anonymity to candidly discuss a sensitive legal situation."

Yeah, blame the customer for not understanding the menu or app. It couldn't be the union busting or Schultz.

Listening to Gaslit Nation (America’s Income Inequality Crisis: How Did We Get Here?): https://sites.libsyn.com/124622/americas-income-inequality-crisis-how-did-we-get-here
Move over, first class passengers on the Titanic! America has a new class of doomed elites! Extreme income inequality threatens our democracy and the security of the world, but unions are fighting back, showing our path forward for the safety of everyone. C.E.O.s and billionaires celebrate record-breaking profits, but for everyday workers, wages have remained stagnant, not keeping pace with the rising cost of living. The result? The American Dream is increasingly resembling a Neoliberal Ponzi Scheme, where the promise of prosperity seems to be reserved for nepo-babies. Beyond the obvious moral implications, income inequality has profound consequences for our society. It undermines trust in institutions, worsens political instability, and contributes to declining life expectancy—a stark reality in America today. When the rich get richer and the rest of us get left behind, it doesn’t just create social rifts; it destabilizes the United States, and therefore the world. How do we overcome this crisis? The renaissance of unions will strengthen our economy for all and protect our democracy. This week’s guest Michael Podhorzer has been on the frontlines of this fight for decades, as the former longtime political director of the AFL-CIO – the largest federation of unions in the United States. Podhorzer is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, the chair of the Analyst Institute, the Research Collaborative and the Defend Democracy Project, and writes the Substack Weekend Reading. A 2021 TIME article described Podhorzer as the architect of a broad movement that helped protect the integrity of our vote in the 2020 election. This week’s bonus show, available to subscribers at the Truth-teller level ($5/month) and higher, includes Podhorzer’s insights on how to protect the 2024 election, in an excerpt available to all. Exclusive to our Patreon supporters, this week’s bonus show also includes a deep-dive examination of the recent arrest of Telegram’s C.E.O. Pavel Durov and what that might mean for Russia’s global war on democracy. Subscribe today at Patreon.com/Gaslit to help support our independent journalism! * Big Announcement!

It's wild to me that people still give that union-busting asshole PJ Vogt a fair pass. In addition to being a self-serving corporate whore who has used his influence to talk shit about good people (usually progressives), he's NOT that good of a producer and nowhere nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
Fuck that arrogant piece of shit PJ Vogt. And fuck him hard. Stop platforming that completely inconsequential and vile douchebag.
This post by @jdst258 was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm finally going to start a #Capitalism #NeoLiberalism #ProUnion #ClassWar thread on my "normie" discussion forum.
This is in addition to the #Christofascism thread that's been going for years & the thread to track police & prison misconduct.

What should the focus be? What about the first post? I try to maintain a balance of solid information/links & memes/graphics to grab attention & drive a point home.
What are your best #Anarchism or #AntiCapitalism links and/or memes?
I'm very #ProUnion & would love to get rid of #Captalism but until then, employee-owned cooperatives should be encouraged as much as possible.
I am lucky/privileged enough to work for one now. Beats the hell out of the 10 years I spent at another lab owned by a greedy narcissist.

good morning, enjoy a crime cat.
#TheCrimeCats say don't forget your heroes only profit from your slavery. wonder why any of those artists were ever using a non-union print shop in the first place? because they want to make money. and the only way to make money under capitalism is to have it already or to get it off someone else being exploited.

You've heard of a concept album, but what about a "proof of concept" album?
What if that concept was to use the #Fediverse & collaborate with multiple artists on an #Antifascist #audiocollage
It might sound like this.

@GreenFire two weeks ago I saw the VP motorcade in Las Vegas. Kamala Harris was there to have lunch with unions to celebrate them signing new deals with companies. This present administration is surely #ProUnion #VoteBlue.
