If the workers of the world want to win, all they have to do is recognize their own solidarity. They have nothing to do but fold their arms and the world will stop. The workers are more powerful with their hands in their pockets than all the property of the capitalists. --Joe Ettor (IWW labor organizer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IASdERt3-m0

The fascist juggernaut continues to attack the rights and livelihood of most Americans while guarding zealously the many subsidies and benefits that are provided to the rich. Here I highlight issues around reproductive and abortion rights and look at both the endless attacks by the right-wing and their allies among the theocratic forced-pregnancy / forced-birth advocates, and some of the actions taken to protect women's reproductive and abortion rights taking place mostly in the “Blue States” of course. Many of these articles are pretty short, and all are pertinent I hope some of our readers and posters take a look at ones that look interesting to them.

This may be a strange subject for someone who runs a blog like this, but I often question the kind of debate we have here. It is kind of an existential question. Why do it? Often we are conversing with people whose minds are made up and closed like steel traps, and whose fundamental values (or lack thereof) conflict with our own.
Quasim tackles this question - his rationale is what he calls Collateral Education. Basicallyit is the idea that you aren't really talking to the individual on the other computer, but instead you are talking to the silent majority who are listening, who are interested in what we have to say, and who could use some clarity in their thoughts and arguments. I think that he has something there. So listen to how he approaches discussion as Collateral Education.
Best wishes to the Class Strugglers out there. Keep up the good work and please plan to attend a No Kings event near you. Stay safe in these perilous times, NB
