Miners at IMIP, world’s largest nickel mine site with 120k+ workers have begun a sit-in at after days of protest for a fair contract.
Workers say there are monthly deaths due to lack of safety measures. Morowali is the world’s largest source of nickel for EV batteries and steel

Solidarity with sit-in-striking miners in Indonesia from union comrades in Kenya.

This is so strong and clear.
You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly.
The UK media is in quite a state.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

I predict Ojeda is gonna make a Republican politician cry at some point. They have no idea what will hit them with this guy.

10 years of imprisonment. 10 years of injustice.
@hdpdemirtas, former co-chair of our sister party HDP (now @DEMGenelMerkezi), is one of the many victims of Erdoğan’s crackdown on the democratic opposition. We have repeatedly called for his release and condemn the continued persecution of opposition leaders and members in Türkiye.
Using sham allegations and instrumentalising the judiciary to silence political opponents is unacceptable. Democracy cannot thrive when dissent is punished.
We stand in solidarity with Selahatin Demirtaş and all those fighting for democracy and the rule of law in Türkiye.
I find it somewhat perverse that .@ivanabacik would appear in a photograph with Keir Starmer on a weekend and then with Francesca Albanese on a weekday.

Hundreds of Minnesotans are leaving their "I voted" stickers at the site where Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE agents.

The entire Democratic Party owes a massive debt of gratitude to Zohran Mamdani.
Before his rapid rise, the party was largely rudderless, suffering from a loss of direction, momentum, and self-confidence. By drifting away from the working class, the party naturally saw voters walk away in response.
Mamdani single-handedly corrected the course, bringing vital energy, ideological clarity, and an authentic connection back to the very people who had been left behind.
Without his influence, the party’s current standing would look very different.

Union Vice President here✊🏻
We support our union brothers and sisters by voting for candidates who support workers, worker’s rights and unions. Your vote for a union busting candidate is a slap in the face to every union member. Shameful and disgusting.
Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien here. Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for @SenAshleyMoody. Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs. The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers.

Your quarterly reminder that President Biden and the Democrats "protected Teamsters pensions" over the objection of Trump, MAGA, and elected Republicans
And this piece of shit has taken every opportunity since then to ratfuck the Dems, big time in 2024 and now here

Ashley Moody NEVER walked the line with you @TeamsterSOB. But ok brother. Shout out to all the rank & file Teamsters that are voting for me. I will ALWAYS STAND WITH YOU!

Working class people’s lives are on the ballot on Tuesday—their healthcare, their rent, their bills.
Haley Stevens just betrayed them by endorsing the very Republican she said she wanted to run against.

haley stevens will you condemn your homophobic husband
On the eve of the eve of the eve of our BIG and important election, a unifying moment has arrived, our democratic nominee for U.S Senate disavows the Rebellion PAC ad made by Hasan Piker’s uncle that claims Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes. We have learned from party leaders and emissaries, as reported in the news media that he has.
On Sunday I will join with the Great Democratic leader, Jim Clyburn and Dr El Sayed for a church service in the beautiful city of Detroit.
The political coalition of Black and Jewish voices that have carried Michigan and this country through so many storms to the righteous path of liberal democracy and equal opportunity for all will ring out. Full statement here:
Anglo-Irish relations or not, I am disgusted that .@ivanabacik would share a platform with such a bloodthirsty war criminal and enemy of civil liberties, as Keir Starmer. An inadequate explanation demands no confidence in her leadership of Labour.
A brilliant evening celebrating Anglo - Irish relations with Sir @Keir_Starmer, @ivanabacik and Iain Paisley.
