Analysis Warns ‘The Wealthiest’ Will Benefit If Missouri Passes Dark Money-Backed Amendment 5
If approved by voters on August 4, the legislatively referred constitutional amendment would: reduce Missouri’s individual income tax, based on revenue growth, until it is eliminated; prohibit future state individual income taxes; decrease personal property and other local taxes when local revenues increase, but bar funding cuts to public schools; and limit expansions of sales and use taxes, unless they are used to lower income tax.

Review: Elem Klimov’s ‘Come and See’
The 1941 Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union is, without a doubt, one of the most harrowing events in history. To attempt to artistically represent these cruel years is a daunting task. Nevertheless, Come and See, a stunning film from 1985 directed by Elem Klimov, succeeds in doing the job. The film follows the story of a young boy named Flyora, who joined the Soviet Resistance against the Nazi war machine as a partisan. While the film is often portrayed as ‘anti-war’, this is a somewhat shallow understanding of it.

I Am Not to Blame for Unemployment Hell, and Neither Are You
Last fall, I was laid off from a staff position in higher education along with the rest of my team due to budget cuts. Seven months and one hundred applications later, I still do not have a job, and my unemployment benefits have expired. It’s a distressing situation. It’s also not exceptional. The number of workers who have been unemployed for twenty-seven weeks or longer, a category known as “long-term unemployment,” has grown to nearly two million and now constitutes 25 percent of the total unemployed population. Many workers are giving up on finding a job altogether. In June, the unemployment rate actually went down, but only because seven hundred thousand unemployed workers stopped searching and are no longer included in the official count. The crisis has been worse for black workers, who are disproportionately represented among the unemployed. Despite this trend, neither Congress nor the White House have discussed expanding unemployment benefits, as was done during the 2008–2009 financial crisis and the pandemic. Instead of addressing the problem, Donald Trump tried to hide it by attacking the Bureau of Labor Statistics, cutting the federal agency’s funding and firing its commPost too long.

US justice department investigating UAW president over corruption allegations
Last month, the union’s court-appointed monitor released a report alleging that Fain improperly used his authority to push for a financial bonus for his fiancee and get worker’s compensation for his sister, Bloomberg reported. When Rich Boyer, UAW’s vice-president, refused to approve the benefits, Fain removed him as chief negotiator with carmaker Stellantis NV. The report ultimately deferred a decision on disciplinary action, and a federal grand jury subpoenaed the monitor over its report.

Guggenheim museum workers, public defenders in New York City vote to authorize strike action
Staff at the Solomon R.

The vote, which passed by a 93 percent margin, marks a serious escalation in a struggle that has drawn in workers across New York City's major cultural institutions and coincides with parallel strike preparations by public defenders and legal aid attorneys in the city, also members of the UAW.

>South Africa’s anti-immigrant groups move from ultimatums to door-to-door threats. The objective seems to have changed: it’s no longer simply about demonstrating, but rather about undertaking what have come to be known as “door-to-door” campaigns. That is, going house to house to find foreign citizens and urge them — sometimes politely, sometimes forcefully — to leave the country. And, unlike other episodes of racial tension in the country’s history, the protagonists of these protests are, for the most part, Black South African citizens who are targeting Black immigrants.

Nationalism is such a fucking insidious disease.

Who Is in Charge in Venezuela?
On June 24, the collision of the South American tectonic plate with the Caribbean one caused a major release of energy from the depths of the Earth, leaving a trail of destruction in Venezuela. The 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that rocked the country caused thousands of deaths and the collapse of hundreds of structures. While we try to process the trauma and return to something that resembles “normalcy,” Venezuela, already battered by years of sanctions and the recent US military attack, now faces the challenge of rebuilding itself in the broadest sense of the word and in an ever more complicated context. With that in mind, we have to start by asking: who is in charge of the country and its future?

Britain’s Year of Arresting Pensioners As Terrorists Has Taken a Hatchet to Our Civil Liberties
A year and a day ago, octogenarian priest Sue Parfitt told Novara Media, “we cannot be bystanders”. Moments later, she became one of the first people in the country to be arrested under a draconian new law that many didn’t believe could be enforced. Parfitt had, of course, defied the proscription of direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, after a ban came into effect at 00.01 the night before. Onlookers, who surrounded the group and chanted “free, free Palestine”, said they were shocked to see her and 28 other mostly elderly protesters bundled into police vans simply for holding up paper signs. Parfitt said she hoped “common sense would prevail” and that the new law would be immediately overturned. We expected that might happen, too. In the first few weeks, the UN, Amnesty International, many other NGOs and dozens of public figures condemned the ban as a “disturbing legal overreach” with chilling repercussions for freedom of speech and assembly. As more and more people vowed to break the law, things looked pretty bad for the British government and its loyal, miserable police force.

Because the Greece of the Iliad and Classical Greece were separated by about 500 years, they were radically different civilizations. Just as England in the 1200s and England in the 1700s were both England in the past.
One example is the status of women. By the Classical period, especially, Greek society had become more strongly patriarchal and male authority was formalized through legal and social institutions. Respectable women were expected to remain largely within the household and when they appeared in public, they were to be veiled.

Critics warn EPA proposal could weaken Texans' voice on pollution from data centers, concrete plants
A proposed change to a federal rule could eliminate Texans' right to weigh in on permits for facilities considered "minor" air polluters, critics say, including small industrial operations like concrete batch plants, rock crushers and some power projects that fuel data centers. The change would remove a federal requirement for public feedback and leave it to states to decide whether to include members of the community before officials approve or deny facilities' air pollution permits that fall below "major emissions" thresholds.

Who Is Ukraine’s Recovery Really For?
More than two hundred businesses were present at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, Poland, at the end of June, eighty-two of them from Ukraine. But out of Ukraine’s eighty-three sectoral trade unions, none had so much as a stall, let alone a seat on a main panel. That asymmetry is telling; and for Ukrainian activists, taking part in the conference was something of a cold shower.

Beyond “Trumpification”: Latin America’s Deepening Organic Crises
A widely held view, especially in the mainstream media, interprets the recent electoral results in Peru and Colombia as though all of Latin America could be painted with the same brush, reducing the region’s political landscape to a single story: the rise of the Right. The Economist, for example, claims Latin America is “going Trumpy.” But what we are actually seeing is massive polarization, which is leading to extraordinarily close general elections. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori won by a razor-thin margin of 0.3 percent (just 49,641 votes), with the difference coming mainly from overseas votes, particularly those from the United States. Her center-left opponent, Roberto Sánchez, has denounced the results as fraud, calling for protests. Fujimori will be the country’s ninth president in ten years, amid a deep political crisis. In Colombia, right-wing Trump admirer Abelardo de la Espriella won following an extremely polarized election. However, his opponent, Iván Cepeda, has stated he will call for “civil resistance” if the president-elect does not renounce his U.S. citizenship. Trump’s support in Colombia and votes from overseas residents in the case of Peru appear to have tipped the election in favor of the Right by a very narrow margin. However, from 2015 to the present, there have been 25 presidential elections in South America, and in 18 of them — over 70 percent — the respective ruling parties were defeated. The Right’s recent electoral victories must be understood within this polarized, contradictory context in order to draw lessons for how to defeat these reactionary forces.
