Palestine has long been a labor issue, but real solidarity in U.S. unions is now emerging from rank-and-file workers, not leadership that has historically sided with the wrong side.
The Future of Palestine Solidarity in US Labor Will Come From the Rank and File

I posted on Instagram but I feel like the Bluesky peeps would appreciate some nonfiction recommendations.

Here's my book stack. I don't have enough characters, so I put the list from top to bottom in alt text.

Also, that's Stanley at the top. Stanley the Fox. Also Greg the cup. He's nice.
