El-Sayed's victory was in no small part thanks to the massive member-led ground game by the @UAW.
I followed some of that work for @thenation last month: thenation.com/article/politi…
Wrote about the arrests outside Netanyahu's speech at the UN for @thenation: thenation.com/article/activi…

This is the best article on this by far, with all the details. You will leave sputtering with rage at just how low Neil Barofsky is
In the run-up to the UAW's presidential election, I wrote about the conflict that's quietly played out between union leadership and a federal monitor over the union's stance on Gaza for the past two years: thenation.com/article/econom…

"The United Auto Workers called for a ceasefire in Gaza. The union’s federal monitor didn’t like it—and now he’s investigating Shawn Fain, just weeks before union elections." thenationmagazine.substack.c… by @ellafanger
One of the elements of the UAW's federal monitor situation that has been under-discussed: the extent to which the monitor's reports wade into internal union politics, supporting a more conciliatory, less militant approach to dealing with the bosses.

Jenner & Block, the law firm where UAW federal monitor Neil Barofsky works, is one of the ADL's "Corporate Partners Against Hate."

The UAW's federal monitor Neil Barofsky compared Israel's targeting of civilians in Gaza to the Allies' bombing of Dresden in WWII.
"It is an aspect of war...If [Israel] wanted to commit a genocide, it wouldn't look like this."

Amid the Trump administration’s assault on immigrant workers, thousands at the country’s largest meat processor organized across nationalities to launch a historic work stoppage, writes @ellafanger.

A superb piece by @ellafanger on the historic meatpacking strike. You can really tell when a labor reporter really knows her stuff. Thousands of workers walked out of Colorado slaughterhouse, igniting the first major US meatpacking strike in decades. thenation.com/article/activi…
