Honoured to have been able to write for the Broadbent Institute about the working-class movement my ancestor, William Coaker, led and the lessons we can take from it today to building workers power & fighting the far-right.
"The transformative program of the FPU heightened economic power and instilled a community pride in towns across Newfoundland [...] inspiring hope for a better future and way of life for Newfoundland’s working-class fishermen." – @CoakerDavid

David Ellison is apparently good friends with the owner of Variety so all these hourly DC Studios think pieces could actually be stopped but he doesn’t want that + attending a pro Israel event last night and purposely posting a photo with Gal Gadot sends a really loud message.

Weird, mean, and overall misguided thing to publicly say
Francis Lawrence says he is “more hopeful” that ‘CONSTANTINE 2’ will happen now that James Gunn & Peter Safran have left DC Studios.
“Not that I want anybody to lose their jobs… We have a script, we’ve been wanting to make it, and the people that were at DC were an impediment to us making it.
So, we are now more hopeful as of yesterday’s news that maybe now there will be another opportunity.”

At the end of the day Zohranism is going to remain dominant on the left for as long as it keeps delivering like this
Made free-to-read because I think this is a really important piece. Our preliminary analysis of 2026 shows that while moderate politicians retained an electability edge, it seems to have *considerably* shrunk from the last few cycles, on the whole.

not to sound too much like @Darren_Mooney, but James Gunn knowing he was fired and using his last months rushing projects through production/pre-production so a whole host of artists and production crew could get paid by the soulless megacorporation is really cool, actually.

Israël m'interdit d'entrer sur son territoire ? Je n'ai pas demandé à y entrer.
Si nous arrivons au pouvoir, nous dirons ce que nous aurons à dire.
À savoir : dénoncer le génocide à Gaza, la colonisation en Cisjordanie et l'annexion progressive du Sud-Liban et du plateau du Golan.
Refuser la loi du plus fort ou du plus fou et respecter, en toutes circonstances, le droit international : telle est notre ligne politique.

If you genuinely believe James Gunn’s firing wasn’t politically motivated, you’re delusional and an NPC
Gal Gadot says Skydance co-CEO Ynon Kreiz "gives me hope" against antisemitism.
“I’m frightened by how quickly hatred of Jews is spreading — and how openly it is expressed and accepted. Since the Oct. 7 massacre and the war that followed, I have found myself asking how far this can go. If people get used to hearing and seeing hatred and looking the other way, then where does it end?" Gadot said while honoring Kreiz at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Humanitarian Award Dinner.
"What gives me hope is that people like Ynon aren’t wavering. He’s doing what he’s always done. He’s standing firm. He feels what our what our community is going through. He’s sticking up against antisemitism. He’s bringing his intense conviction and heart to this fight. He’s leading. That leadership is like a beacon of light and in a dark hour nothing matters more than a ray of light to give all of us courage.”

“Jeremy Latcham is a Marvel veteran who, by his own description, now leans toward a faith-based vision, one that's wholesomely heroic and upbeat.”
?????😭😭
Why are you pretending James Gunn wasn’t also a Marvel Veteran? This is getting embarrassing by the minute Jesus Christ.
James Gunn and Peter Safran's short-lived era spearheading DC Studios was less than super, writes Variety's @OwenGleiberman:
"When you look at who Ellison has chosen to replace Gunn and Safran, there's a clear directive there: Jeremy Latcham is a Marvel veteran who, by his own description, now leans toward a faith-based vision, one that's wholesomely heroic and upbeat.
In other words, say goodbye to any vestige of the James Gunn "edge." But if the Gunn edge had truly won an audience, we might be having a different conversation. Taken together, his moves and decisions gave him a (barely) passing grade."

Politico: JD Vance Allies Say Attacks Help Him After Midterms
JD Vance sees an opening in the post-election blame game: Republican hawks are attacking him for opposing the war, Democrats promise retribution — and he’s planning to use both to prove he’s the anti-establishment voice in Washington
Vance allies say the attacks could help him recast the MAGA brand after the midterms and rally voters who soured on the war President Donald Trump launched the US into.
