Somewhat disgraceful interview by Klein, but major props to Coates for having an honest discussion about the apartheid in Israel, and putting it in terms liberals can understand

Seven-month Boston University grad worker strike ends
The student employees won their first union contract after months of bargaining and then a lengthy walkout. But the agreement, which only lasts three years, doesn’t achieve some major demands.

Israel Is Routinely Shooting Children in the Head in Gaza: U.S. Surgeon & Palestinian Nurse
As the official death toll in Gaza passes more than 42,400, the true number may be impossible to know until Israel’s war is over. But medical workers who witnessed the carnage in Gaza’s hospitals are speaking out. We speak with Dr. Feroze Sidhwa about his op-ed in The New York Times that features harrowing stories from dozens of healthcare workers and CT scans of children shot in the head or the left side of the chest. The Times called the corresponding images of the patients too graphic to publish. “I personally wish that Americans could see more of what it looks like when a child is shot in the head, when a child is flayed open by bombs,” says Sidhwa. “I think it would make us think a little bit more about what we do in the world.” We also speak with Palestinian nurse Rajaa Musleh, who worked at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. “I will never forget the dogs were eating the dead body inside Shifa Hospital at the front of the emergency department. This will be stuck on my mind for my whole life,” says Musleh. “My message for the whole world: We are human beings. We are not numbers. We have the right to receive healthcare inside Gaza.”
Been reading a lot of labor union history papers recently. Nothing like seeing 20 to 30 years of people going, "Unions are on the decline" and then finally getting to recent literature and having people open with "Unions are on the rise!"
Pretty exciting new for the board game industry!
Barnes & Noble has agreed to give name recognition to board game designers on their websites. This was done through the pretty newly established Tabletop Game Designers Association!

Recently my university had an inauguration for our new president, which was partially crashed by our grad workers union and the BU - Social Justice for Palestine org.
Obviously the admin didn't want much to do with it, but it looks like this photo got snuck into the photo album.

A big reason we are in this catastrophe is because governments are more focused on criminalizing the people who are protesting the climate crisis, instead of the fossil fuel executives who are responsible for it.

Absolutely frustrating to read this article. Every single thing these swing voters say (NTY notes they aren't the "swing" voters that are just Trumpers and don't wanna admit it) would be solved by actually running on progressive policy.
Frustrating to watch the blue team continue to erode any hope of making the States a better place.
