IWW: **Gains**
https://industrialworker.org/gains/
Critics of the IWW often point to our lack of contracts and NLRB-certified bargaining units as proof that we don’t make lasting gains. But let’s be clear: their definition of gains is shaped by eighty-five years of state-managed unionism. When “success” means sitting across the table from the boss and the government, the question of … Continue reading "Gains"

IWW: **Rebuilding the IWW**
https://industrialworker.org/rebuilding-the-iww/
“Today is not June 27th, 1905 [the founding date of the IWW]. The world has moved forward, of course, but for many people in the working class we have moved backward. Our class is less organized. If anything, the present is as much or more like the 1880s than 1905. It’s not 1905. Our present … Continue reading "Rebuilding the IWW"

Hey, New Yorkers, time to put all that joy and enthusiasm to work: demand that the city council allocate .5% (yes, HALF of a percent) of the city budget to the city's libraries--because fuck Eric Adams, and because you NEED those libraries to work properly.
You can use the link below or contact the council directly, but you NEED to act.

In the same vein, the are budget proposals to cut significant funding to Chicago's libraries. People need to continue speaking out about it, and make the city fix the budget to keep that funding.

For all of you who've now learned about the layoffs at Teen Vogue: the writers and staffers, many of them are left with imminent bills and no income.
If you feel so inclined, after you've cancelled yoru membership, they've set up a group GFM to receive donations for emergency funding as they find their footing.
Remember: you should tip GFM 0; they already charge the recipients as it is.

Teen Vogue has now been folded into Vogue, and all politics reporters, all Black women and all trans people working there were fired on Monday (11/3/25) morning.
That is, none of the people who made Teen Vogue a surprisingly effective civics communication vehicle remain with the magazine.
If you or someone in your family has a subscription, now it's a good time to explain what boycotts are and what they can do.
Note how "facts" becomes "progressive politics"

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
Certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
Today's information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much, as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.
Blueksy post by Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.con:
Thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
Now that this is public, I can confirm that the majority of today's layoffs were women of color. There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
Below there's a previews of a Hollywood Reporter piece, headline reads: As Conde Nast folds Teen Vogue into Vogue's website, News Guild condemns the plan. The union, which reps staffers, say the move was "clearly designed" to blunt the journalism of the brand, which has leaned into progressive politics.
