All Out on May Day! Internationalist Group 2008-04-26 1:18 PM
On May 1, all 29 ports on the U.S. West Coast are to be shut down by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) in protest against the U.S. war on Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a historic event of international significance: labor action against imperialist war by a major American union. The strategically placed port workers in the ILWU can bring commerce with Asia to a grinding halt, and they’re about to demonstrate it. The maritime employers are already screaming, and you can bet it’s got the attention of the warmongers in Washington. All labor should take up the challenge this poses: For workers strikes against the war! Meanwhile, immigrants’ rights groups are once again mobilizing on May Day. And on April 30 and May 1, the independent truckers who move cargo to and from the docks may play an important role in a shutdown. The imperialist war on Afghanistan and Iraq is also a war on immigrants, minorities, working people and democratic rights “at home.” We need to defeat this attack here and abroad, in opposition to both the capitalist war parties. The “antiwar movement,” whose aim has always been to pressure the Democrats, is at a dead end. What’s needed is working-class action independent of the bosses. What that takes is a fundamental break from the Democratic Party and the pro-capitalist politics that infuse the labor bureaucracy. (text/html)

The Injustice Continues: MOVE 9 women denied parole Hans Bennett 2008-04-22 10:12 PM
The Philadelphia Inquirer has just reported that the MOVE 9 women were denied parole on grounds that they minimized or denied the "nature and circumstances" of the offense, "refused to accept responsibility" and lacked remorse, and the ‘negative recommendation’ by the prosecutor.

Randi Rhodes & Her Eff’ing Adjectives! Road Sage 2008-04-22 10:04 PM
And of course she was one who could tell the blatant and unmitigated truth. No mealy-mouther her. No—not Randi Rhodes. But then she called Hillary Clinton a “f**king” whore at a speech event in the Frisco Bay area. It got on the Internet via YouTube and made a splash—daring. Some rightly protest that Hillary is indeed a whore—so what is the big deal? But while we are collectively soul searching about her leaving Air America under the situation, we might note that we are all, or most of us, compromisers to some extent with spiritual lessons to learn.

Fascist Threat Against Demonstrators for Mumia Abu-Jamal’s Freedom Kevin Gilroy, Partisan Defense Committee 2008-04-17 6:46 PM
