An enjoyer of playing academic. Above average knowledge regarding women and Labour in Wales.
Below average knowledge in pretty much anything else
I can only assume that the release of The Last Class and this new Game Changers episode on the same day was a deliberate effort to divide the Reich family. Currently @rbreich.bsky.social leads by 1 signed copy of his new book. This means the ball is in your court @samreich.bsky.social.

The men’s national team has lost 18 games in a row, the women’s side also has a double wooden spoon, and on top of it all, your club might be cut. No wonder apathy is taking over.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election.

A new generation of leaders is here.

An excellent, full-throated call from within the Labour Party to both renew and expand Welsh home rule and to address the glaringly imbalanced distribution of power across the UK. And from #Pontypridd no less.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years.

We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power. 

If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.

They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."
Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban?

ICE recently conducted a raid of farm workers, seemingly focused on pro-union worker leaders.

On Friday in New York the federal agents stopped a bus and, armed with a list, appeared to single out those who have been doing union organizing for years.

So far, Trump has... 

-Fired federal workers who investigate firefighter deaths 

-Rolled back a rule that would have protected miners from contracting black lung

-Planned to shut down 11 of OSHA’s regional offices

Don’t believe his pro-worker posturing for a second.

With every week of additional horrors in the news I find a different part of my lecture course I feel I should expand.

“Yeah, need to add more on McCarthyism and education …”

“Well, probably could beef up wartime internment …”

“OK, so time to revisit the depths of the Great Depression …”

Workers who want to join unions should not be afraid of big corporations like Wells Fargo.

Workers must be able to bargain for better wages, better hours, and better working conditions without illegal corporate intervention.

We must pass the PRO Act.
