But his assertion that diversity weakens unions ignores two things. First, labor unions have a long history of multiethnic coalitions. Second, it was the capitalists and political elites who tried to *exploit* ethnic divisions to maintain power. There is only one person here trying to stop unions:
If you read into Filipino American history in the late 19th to the 20th century, you’ll see A LOT of unionizations, strikes, and other labor actions—all working with other ethnic groups!

This seems like an important story.
The US is deregulating banks. Will the rest of the world follow?
New rules will boost lending and profits and entrench American dominance. But critics say they could lead to another crash

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

If you go out tomorrow, please remember that the vast majority of us are doing our level best to turn tables, but waits are unavoidable on a holiday when demand far outstrips supply. Take care of your server or bartender. They’ll be working their asses off so you can enjoy that time with loved ones.

Today's shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., was horrific. It also has triggered a wide array of unverified rumors, allegations and theories.
We're all making sense of this together. But best to share information with care.

Not to be an asshole but we've seen this show before. Putting 9 behind the ball and daring virtually anyone in this PSG squad to shoot from distance is not gonna do it. They will fucking score if you don't possess the ball and try to gain some territory.

The Trump administration’s war on tourism in red states continues
National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

When a school in California is in the Atlantic Coast Conference, this is basically how it should go, right?
UC Berkeley (1) fires losing football coach, (2) will continue to pay him $10.9 million, (3) hires prominent anti-vax wacko as interim coach. Great work, California! #highereducationpriorities @governor.ca.gov
Cal makes an extremely unlikely, controversial choice for fill-in coach
Nick Rolovich is set to lead the Bears for at least one game this season.
