United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7, the union that represents the JBS workers in Greeley, is lobbying at Colorado's State Capitol to further protect its members. According to Kim Cordova, president of UFCW Local 7, the union is asking state lawmakers to pass a law that would require companies to allow employees to have reasonable bathroom breaks without fear of punitive measures.

USC student prepares to file lawsuit against DHS after losing eye during DLTA 'No Kings' rally
An 18-year-old USC freshman who lost an eye is calling for justice after a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officer fired a projectile at him during a "No Kings" rally in downtown Los Angeles last month. Tucker Collins is preparing to file a federal civil rights lawsuit, alleging the DHS officer is responsible for his life-altering injury.

Democratic senator dumps on DSCC's "big mistake" in Maine
"We want to push the caucus to fight even harder against the lawless Trump administration. I think we've made some progress since this time last year," said Van Hollen, himself a former DSCC chair. "We are also very unhappy with the fact that the DSCC has been putting its foot on the scale as the party organization in the Senate in some of these races. So that's what formed the Fight Club."

War on Iran: Why the Islamabad talks failed
What happened in Islamabad is not an isolated event, but rather part of a longer American strategy in the region. Indeed, the American-Zionist war on Iran did not emerge in isolation. It is the direct extension of a broader strategy that accelerated after October 2023, when Israel’s failure to achieve decisive outcomes in Gaza exposed the limits of military power and deterrence. Washington responded not by reassessing its regional posture, but by doubling down, expanding confrontation, tightening sanctions, and eventually moving towards direct military aggression against Iran. Iran entered the talks with a structured position. Through Pakistani mediators, it submitted a 10-point proposal intended to frame negotiations. The details were not publicly released in full, but the outline was clear: a cessation of hostilities, recognition of Iran’s rights under international law, phased sanctions relief, and reciprocal security guarantees. Initially, US President Donald Trump signalled that the proposal could serve as a basis for dialogue. That signal proved misleading. The US delegation did not engage the proposal as a negotiating framework; instead, it moved quickly to impose a separate set of demands. Within hours, the Iranian proposal was effectively sidelined. Reports from the meeting indicate that Trump personally dismissed the framework, instructing his team to proceed on the basis of American conditions. What followed was not a negotiation, but the imposition of American demands. The talks stalled at that point. The remaining hours were spent attempting to bridge a gap that had already become unbridgeable.

The Left Needs an Alternative Cosmopolitanism Interview with Lea Ypi
The standard critique of the liberal international order comes from the Right these days: the nation-state is supreme, global institutions are a racket, and cosmopolitan elites have sold out ordinary people. The standard defense comes from liberals who conflate the internationalism of the postwar order with the economic system it upholds and defend them both at once. Not satisfied with either position, political theorist Lea Ypi instead urges us to develop what she Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

That seems the most common take among normie krauts on Econ YouTube. They think all those billions of euros, instead of going into infrastructure, will be wasted on the bureaucracy to pad the economic data.

>>2784329
i don't follow these people at all but of course libtards would decry 'waste on bureaucracy' instead of wondering wether making germany 'war ready' is a good call and wether 'infrastrucutre' means modernizing schools and hospitals etc. or building drone factories.

>1) Random acts of violence will never harm the state in any meaningful way
But if powerful people are targeted in can create a sense of urgency and fear in the bourgeois class to make concessions because they think their power is weakening.
>2) It gives the state justification (in the eyes of people who are captured by bourgeois ideology) to violently crack down on your movement
They literally already do this, no matter what people do. Not fighting back accomplishes just as nothing
>3) The state is a million times stronger than you
You may as well give up on possibly of communism or revolution ever being a real possibility then by this logic. Also the state is made up of people who could be swayed by revolutionary actions.

I honestly have no how leftcoms even envision how communism will ever be achieved according if these are their views. Do you just expect people to one day just magically just think communism is based or something? Even if you're waiting for capitalism to collapse in on itself you will still need direct action to signal that is it or to kickstart the revolution once it finally does.

>>2782723
I of course agree regarding aventurism & systemic change. However intelligent adventurism is primarly about propaganda: embasing your friends while demoralizing the ennemy, than it is about achieving change by itself.
Take the Kirkocaust for example, it was completely destructive for the right domestically, a depraved act of leftist (?) violence yet it sent the entire american RW media ecosystem into a death spiral and a billion low-info normies still make fun of their dead patron saint a year later. It was a succesful mass demoralization campaign that took the right off it's cultural pedestal. It also made the domestic american far-right look like impotent weaklings as they did nothing to avenge him besides posting weepy fedposts on xitter talking about the day of the rope any time now in 40 minutes just wait, even the stone cold sleazy-irony posters were posting like sentimental Matt Walsh for a week. Just a total memetic destruction.
Tyler Robinson (PBUH) was way more important than Luigi, who killed some replaceable nobody CEO (the upper class wagies).
Adventurism can have virtuous effects.

Hospital at centre of child HIV outbreak caught reusing syringes in undercover filming

Not long after her brother contracted the virus, Asma was also diagnosed with HIV. Her family believe both children contracted it from injections with contaminated needles during routine medical treatment at a government hospital in Taunsa, in the province of Punjab, Pakistan.

They are two of the 331 children that BBC Eye has identified as testing positive for HIV in the city between November 2024 and October 2025.

After a doctor at a private clinic linked the outbreak to the hospital, called THQ Taunsa, in late 2024, local authorities promised a "massive crackdown" and suspended the hospital's medical superintendent in March 2025 – but a BBC Eye investigation can now reveal that dangerous injection practices continued months later.

Correct. We already had the technology to enable a 4-day 6-hour workweek in the 1950s. It's capitalism that forces immense waste, busywork and duplicate work in order to prevent the breakdown of the MCM cycle

>>2783699
Not really. If you believe in materialist logic, if it hasn't happened yet it's because it's simply not enough. Advancement in technology/automation needs to be so overwhelming to force changes in the economic structure. That's how we went from slavery to feudalism to the current feudal-capitalist hybrid. For examples most programmers became obsolete in the labor market in just the past few years. Now you need the same for all other professions.

You get called Malthusian today just for (rightfully) pointing out that there shouldn't be billions of any large mammal, including humans.

>>2783713
>if it hasn't happened yet it's because it's simply not enough
Capital already produces more than enough food for everyone globally. In America alone, half of food is thrown out before it even reaches the overweight population, and the overweight population throws out half the food they buy after it reaches them. And during crises of overproduction capital will still pour milk down the drain or put non-expired food in locked dumpsters. Artificial scarcity is the problem, not actual scarcity. The problem isn't a lack of productive forces or too many productive forces, but private ownership over the means of production by a bourgeois ruling class. We could produce enough to meet demand without overproducing and distribute it to everyone based on need but instead we throw out 75% of food in the richest country on Earth and put unexpired food in locked dumpsters and pour milk down the drain. We give people fake do nothing corporate jobs if they're lucky and we also at the same time maintain a huge reserve army of unemployed people who are so desperate they can be brought in as scabs if the employed try to organize
>>2783748
>You get called Malthusian today just for (rightfully) pointing out that there shouldn't be billions of any large mammal, including humans.
The problem with Malthusianism isn't the desire to limit reproduction, but the tendency to treat reproduction as the central, primary, or only problem. In the most "developed" (or if you like, imperialist) nations the birth rates are in decline because the population has access already to abortion, birth control, contraception, and sex educaiton. In the peripheral nations they are gaining access to those things as well, even if at a slower rate. We will actually have to scale back the forces of production to match the lower population if the average couple has fewer than 2 children make it to adulthood for a few generations in a row. In any case the forces of production can still increase in efficiency to better serve a smaller population which is the whole point of refinement of the productive forces, by abridging labor processes, miniaturizing machinery, maximizing resource efficiency by using less to do more, etc.
