It's time for elite academic institutions to fade away into oblivion. And I say this, having worked at MIT and Harvard. There's a reason why I left.

BREAKING: High school students from across Boston walk out of class to join the MIT student encampment in response to the increasing police repression.

Eleven high schools, including private high school Boston Latin, have walked out to stand with Gaza.

Short Summary

  1. Host introduces guests Jared and Elizabeth Beck, attorneys in the DNC fraud lawsuit, discussing their involvement and the lawsuit's origins.
  2. Elizabeth was motivated by the 2007 real estate crash and political interest; both were involved in Bernie Sanders' campaign and noticed election rigging for Hillary Clinton.
  3. Nico House provided crucial on-the-ground information about systemic rigging, emphasizing the importance of credible sources in their case.
  4. Before the Philadelphia convention, they filed a lawsuit aiming to reimburse Bernie Sanders' campaign donors, viewing the fund allocation to the Democratic party as monetary fraud.
  5. The speakers discuss the DNC operating as a private entity with no obligation to follow its charter or be transparent, referencing historical rigging cases and media criticism.
  6. They express skepticism towards the political process, discuss assassinations of significant figures, and suggest connections between these deaths and efforts to prove DNC primary rigging.
  7. The discussion includes plans to pursue individuals responsible for recording and managing voting data, mentioning deaths under suspicious circumstances and expressing disillusionment with the political system.
  8. The speakers criticize reliance on campaign financing from individuals, express disappointment with the political system, and suggest supporting independent or third-party candidates.
  9. They discuss the inefficacy of lawsuits in changing election results, criticize the political system's corruption, and advocate for political literacy and self-preservation over participation.
  10. The video concludes with a critique of participating in fake elections, the comparison to economic instability, and a recommendation to share the discussed story and read "What Happened to Bernie Sanders" for more details.

#portstrike #sabbysabs #eastcoastportstrike2024 #crudeoilprice #dockworkersstrike2024 #portworkersstrike


Key Points:

  1. Labor Discontent: The dock workers’ strike reflects deep-seated frustrations over wages and job security, highlighting a larger trend of labor unrest across sectors. This could inspire solidarity movements among various worker groups.
  2. Economic Impact: The financial implications of the strike could reach billions daily, emphasizing the interconnectedness of labor actions and broader economic health. Understanding this can help gauge the urgency of workers’ demands.
  3. Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: The strike serves as a wake-up call about how fragile our supply chains are, reminding the public of the essential role dock workers play in the economy.
  4. Potential for General Strike: The situation illustrates how coordinated action among different sectors can lead to a general strike, disrupting industries and raising awareness about workers’ rights and demands.
  5. Automation Concerns: The workers’ apprehensions regarding automation echo broader fears in the job market, suggesting that technological advancements must be balanced with protections for workers to avoid displacement.
  6. Political Landscape: The influence of business interests in labor disputes shows the political pressures involved, indicating that worker strikes can intersect with political action and policy changes.
  7. Broader Demands for Change: If dock workers unite over larger issues like healthcare or foreign policy, it could shift the labor movement’s narrative, pushing for comprehensive social reforms beyond immediate wage disputes.

  2. Reparations Task Force: The New York task force aims to develop recommendations for reparations, but challenges remain regarding its current race-based criteria. This raises concerns about its potential effectiveness and implementation.
  3. Accessibility of Meetings: The upcoming meetings are set to be in more accessible locations and times, encouraging broader public participation. This is essential for community members to voice their needs and concerns.
  4. Lineage-Based Reparations: The call for lineage-based reparations reflects a crucial understanding of historical injustices faced by American descendants of slavery, emphasizing the need for specificity in reparations discussions.
  5. Nationwide Coalition Building: The formation of a coalition among activists across the country signifies a united front in the fight for reparations, which could enhance the movement’s impact and reach.
  6. Discontent with Political Gatekeepers: Many community members are dissatisfied with established political figures and gatekeepers, indicating a shift towards alternative political platforms that better represent their needs.

#kamalalosingworkingclassvoters #sabbysabs #hillaryclintonnews #harrisvstrump2024 #2024electionpolls #presidentialpolls #presidentialelection2024


Key Points:

  1. Polling Trends: Harris’s deteriorating numbers among working-class voters indicate a potential Democratic crisis in upcoming elections. This suggests a growing disconnect between party leadership and grassroots concerns.
  2. Third-Party Dynamics: The rise of candidates like Jill Stein is viewed as a threat to Harris, yet it reflects a desire for diverse political representation among voters dissatisfied with mainstream options.
  3. Union Support Decline: The drop in union voter support for Harris signals a serious issue for the Democratic Party, which historically relied on this demographic for electoral victories.
  4. Trump’s Appeal: Trump’s increasing popularity among working-class voters, especially those without college degrees, underscores a shift in political allegiance that could disrupt traditional voting patterns.
  5. Corporate Influence: The Democratic Party’s focus on corporate donors has alienated many working-class voters, leading to a loss of trust and support.
  6. Voter Connection Failure: Harris’s inability to engage effectively with key voter groups, particularly among minorities and union members, risks significant electoral repercussions.
  7. Gaza Issue Impact: The stance on international issues, like Gaza, can greatly influence voter loyalty, and Harris’s alignment may lead to further erosion of support among critical demographics.

#swingstatepolls #kamalaharrispolls #newyorktimespoll #donaldtrumpvkamalaharris #presidentialpolls #presidentialelection2024


Edit: added summary below

Key Points:

  1. Trump’s swing state advantage suggests a possible repeat of the 2016 election dynamics, highlighting the importance of Electoral College votes. The polls indicate that while national trends may favor Harris, critical battleground states reveal a different narrative that could sway the election.
  2. Kamala Harris’s increasing national support contrasts with her challenges in swing states, revealing a divided electorate. This division underscores the need for targeted outreach to essential voter demographics, particularly in pivotal states.
  3. Demographic shifts in North Carolina could alter its political landscape, making it more competitive. The influx of voters from blue states could influence the state’s voting patterns, making it a key focus for both campaigns.
  4. The drop in support from younger black voters signifies a potential risk for Harris’s campaign. - Understanding the concerns of younger voters is vital for the Democratic Party to maintain its traditional base.
  5. The disparity in campaign spending between minority and white-owned firms raises questions about inclusivity in Harris’s strategy. - This could alienate essential voter blocs if not addressed, impacting Harris’s credibility among black voters.
  6. Republicans are capitalizing on economic concerns, resonating with voters worried about the future. - Trump’s messaging may be gaining traction as economic issues remain top-of-mind for many Americans.
  7. The Democratic Party’s challenge lies in effectively addressing the specific needs of black voters, especially young men. - Failure to engage this group may lead to diminished support and undermine the party’s electoral chances.

"Neither candidate promised not to intervene to force similar Railway Labor Act contracts, which undermines workers’ bargaining leverage." Looks like preventing that Railroad Worker Strike will haunt the Biden administration.

TEAMSTERS: NO ENDORSEMENT FOR U.S. PRESIDENT

International Union Cites Strong Political Divides, Few Commitments from Candidates

(WASHINGTON) - The General Executive Board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Wednesday elected not to endorse any candidate for U.S. President.

After reviewing six months of nationwide member polling and wrapping up nearly a year of rank-and-file roundtable interviews with all major candidates for the presidency, the union was left with few commitments on top Teamsters issues from either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris-and found no definitive support among members for either party's nominee.

In data publicly released earlier in the day, President Joe Biden won the support of Teamsters voting in straw polls at local unions between April-July prior to his exit from the race. But in independent electronic and phone polling from July-September, a majority of voting members twice selected Trump for a possible Teamsters endorsement over Harris.

The union's extensive member polling showed no majority support for Vice President Harris and no universal support among the membership for President Trump.

"The Teamsters thank all candidates for meeting with members face-to-face during our unprecedented roundtables. Unfortunately, neither major candidate was able to make serious commitments to our union to ensure the interests of working people are always put before Big Business. We sought commitments from both Trump and Harris not to interfere in critical union campaigns or core Teamsters industries-and to honor our members' right to strike-but were unable to secure those pledges," said Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien.

"Our mission as union representatives is clear: to be honest and upfront, to be inclusive and, above all, to be transparent with our membership. As the strongest and most democratic labor union in America, it was vital for our members to drive this endorsement process. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents proudly call our union home, and we have a duty to represent and respect every one of them. We strongly encourage all our members to vote in the upcoming election, and to remain engaged in the political process. But this year, no candidate for President has earned the endorsement of the Teamsters' International Union."

During the Teamsters Rank-and-file Presidential Roundtables, the union shared feedback from members in the railroad and airline industries who work under the Railway Labor Act (RLA) and are at the mercy of government intervention that often prevents work stoppages. While 10,000 Teamsters at United Airlines are currently negotiating a new agreement, tens of thousands of railroad Teamsters were forced to accept a new contract implemented by Congress without member support in 2022. In roundtable discussions with Trump in January and Harris this month, neither candidate promised not to intervene to force similar RLA contracts, which undermines workers' bargaining leverage.

While Harris pledged, if elected, to sign the PRO Act, an essential piece of labor legislation strengthening union protections, and criticized dangerous "right to work" laws that are enacted to bankrupt unions, Trump would not commit to veto national "right to work" legislation if he returned to the White House.

"Right to work' laws only exist to try to kill labor unions," said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman. "It is a red line for the Teamsters and must be for any union when a candidate for elected office does not oppose such anti-worker legislation. It's too important an issue for the labor movement as a whole to be left up to state legislatures."

Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.3 million hardworking people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Visit Teamster.org for more information. Follow us on Twitter @Teamsters and "like" us on Facebook at Facebook.com/teamsters.

Apparently, my response triggered Mehdi Hasan because I'm now blocked. 😂😂😂 How dare I call out a genocidal party! 🫣

@SabbySabs2

The point is this Mehdi, you don't REWARD genocide! You're more upset with Jill Stein than you are with the Biden administration that killed those kids you claimed to care about!


@zeteo_news

Could Jill Stein end up playing a decisive role in this election?
