Black women rally behind Biden and Harris amid calls for ticket change

More than 1,400 Black women and allies have indicated their support for President Biden and Vice President Harris in a letter released Thursday. Highlighting the fact that millions of Americans cast ballots for Biden and Harris in the primary, the women said attempts to change the ticket “disregard” and “circumvent the will of millions of voters who participated in…

Viewpoint: I’m a Teamster Against Trump | Labor Notes

I worked hard to elect Sean O’Brien. He is the right president for the Teamsters union. Donald Trump is the wrong president for my country—and I will work like hell to defeat him.

Labor Notes has chronicled our union’s new militancy, including the UPS contract campaignaggressive strike actionorganizing at Amazon, and more.

A Trump victory imperils all of it.

In 2020, I was on the verge of losing my pension. Every single Republican Senator opposed the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Relief Act. The election of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff with strong Teamster support saved my pension and the retirement of over 400,000 Teamsters across the Midwest and South.

MAGA Republicans have spread “right to work” like a cancer across the Midwest, backed NAFTA and job-killing so-called “free trade” deals, and gutted workers rights.

In my home state of Wisconsin, MAGA Republicans have made it illegal for elected local leaders to raise the minimum wage or to have project labor agreements that ensure that construction projects paid for with our tax dollars are done by union workers making living wages.

Organizing Amazon? Trump appointed union-busting attorneys to destroy the National Labor Relations Board and fought the joint employer rule that is giving workers the right to strike and picket Amazon for the first time.

Trump’s demonization of immigrants isn’t just immoral; it also makes it more likely that immigrant workers will accept sweatshop conditions and less likely that they’ll organize. The result is a race to the bottom that hurts everyone.

The MAGA movement’s attacks on abortion rights, trans people, African Americans, and truth itself fuels division and weakens solidarity, the lifeblood of the labor movement and of any decent society. The labor movement must be against anything employers can use to divide workers and pit one group against another.

Sean O’Brien has been accused of helping Trump and MAGA politicians cover up this record and rebrand themselves as the party of the working class.

The sad reality is that many Teamsters and other union members already buy Trump’s populist persona and rhetoric. It’s our job to engage with them.

O’Brien’s speech in prime time reached millions of workers tuned into the Republican National Convention. As he railed on against the Chamber of Commerce, corporate terrorism, Amazon, and right-to-work laws, the normally raucous Republican convention crowd got awfully quiet. Their silence spoke volumes.

The RNC is over. The fight to defeat Trump is just beginning.

Dan Campbell has been a Teamster since 1972. He worked as a UPS driver and union representative for several locals and is a member of the Steering Committee of Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU). TDU is a non-partisan grassroots movement.

Y también les hacen creer, tras mucho repetir la información y las noticias, que de acuerdo con las estadísticas, los casos detectados y las experiencias cotidianas, la edad promedio de vida, en un ser humano de la hora contemporánea, es determinado número de años, fortaleciendo así la idea de que una vez que se supera el límite, las personas ya son viejas y casi inservibles, destinadas a refugiarse en su fatal destino de enfermedades, retiro, desempleo e incomodidades. Cada día, científicos, gobernantes y académicos reducen los años de productividad en ciertas naciones, con lo que generan que incontables hombres y mujeres con energía, salud y lucidez se conviertan en parias laborales, en ancianos prematuros, en gente sin presente ni porvenir activo. Parece como si quienes dominan el mundo económica, política, militar e ideológicamente -los nuevos dioses- pretendieran marcar a la gente y volverla inútil a través del exceso de repetición acerca de la edad promedio de vida. Solo hay que imaginar el escenario no tan distante de generaciones de jóvenes desplazados por falta de oportunidades reales de desarrollo, las inteligencias artificiales y sus robots, la sistematización mental y la mecanización física, condenados a enfrentar vidas atribuladas y vacías que más tarde deberán ser sacrificados. Cuando la academia, la ciencia, los hospitales y las autoridades médicas definen y establecen los promedios de vida en la gente del minuto presente, envían mensajes ocultos, señales perversas, con el objetivo de que las sociedades consideren ancianos y fuera de los mercados laborales y de otras actividades productivas a aquellos hombres y mujeres que rebasan los límites de edad. Una persona mayor es libre de estudiar, trabajar, viajar y dedicarse a distintas actividades, sobre todo si se siente estable física, mental y emocionalmente. Nadie tiene derecho de establecer límites a las personas por sus edades; no obstante, alguien, y otros más, están preparando a las generaciones de niños, adolescentes y jóvenes para envolverlos en un concepto de vida marcado por la idea distorsionada de la vejez, por la que sienten repugnancia, sin darse cuenta de que existe una intencionalidad. Y es que muchas de las personas mayores conservan otra clase de ideales, educación y valores, los cuales planea destruir la élite que las considera una amenaza y un gasto excesivo. A aquellos que están vaciando de valores, sueños, ideales, sentimientos, ilusiones, planes y raciocinio a la niñez, la adolescencia y la juventud, no les convienen los ejemplos y los consejos de las personas de mayor edad, en las que, adicionalmente, es preciso gastar cantidades exageradas de dinero en consultas médicas, tratamientos, prótesis, medicamentos y pensiones. Tras mucho difundir tales ideas, resultará más fácil controlar a las multitudes y sacrificarlas a cierta edad. Nadie se opondrá porque todos estarán convencidos de que sus edades ya superaron los límites normales y, por lo mismo, se acabaron las oportunidades y la vida. La esperanza para rescatar a la humanidad de la crueldad y las trampas que están preparando los integrantes de la élite del poder, son la infancia, los adolescentes y la juventud que aún conservan valores y rechazan los disfraces y las superficialidades con las que otros -una minoría- intentan atraparlos y destruirlos.

« Yanomami – lutando pela existência em nossa terra sagrada! » | Barbara Crane Navarro

Júnior Hekurari Yanomami

« Há exatamente 8 anos o povo Yanomami começou a vivenciar um sofrimento, fruto da negligência do Estado Brasileiro que deveria nos proteger, mas nos deixou a mercê dos invasores e da desassistência.

No período de 2019 a 2022 os garimpeiros envenenaram os nossos rios, a nossa floresta, a nossa vida.
Em 2023 nós continuamos a enfrentando a malária, desnutrição, doenças infecciosas e a fome.
Ainda estamos morrendo por doenças que são consideradas tratáveis e com fácil solução.

Agora o mundo aguarda a espera de um novo ano, com novos objetivos, conquistas, sonhos, esperança.
Daqui, eu não sei o que desejar para o meu povo, além de resistência e força para continuar acreditando em dias melhores. Força para continuar lutando pelo nosso espaço dentro de uma sociedade preconceituosa. Resistência para continuar lutando pela existência nesta terra sagrada. »
– Júnior Hekurari Yanomami

Por favor, ajude a natureza, os povos Indígenas e a vida selvagem:
Boicotar todos os produtos resultantes do desmatamento; ouro, óleo de palma, pedras preciosas, madeiras exóticas, soja, carne bovina, etc. !!!
