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

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
Milei, yes, Milei. The one who insults us and says that socialism is fascism.
What I remind Mr. Milei is that when his far-right friends governed Spain, there was no democracy in this country.

The city of Delray Beach also cancelled its annual Pride celebration after concluding that it, too, runs afoul of the new law championed by Governor Ron DeSantis.

10 years ago today we dreamed of détente. Sadly the only path to victory is total war.

If they actually end up cutting Milly Alcock's Supergirl from 'Man of Tomorrow', I will boycott the movie. Full stop. It's 2026 and we should no longer stand for mysgonist bullshit like this.
Craig Gillespie made a terrible movie and the studio decided to release it in that state. Milly Alcock faced months of online harassment from right wing grifters and has since deleted all her Instagram posts about the movie. She is a great actress who fit the role perfectly, she is integral to the future of Superman and an important part of James Gunn's vision for the trilogy.
Cutting her out of the movie is taking the side of the grifters who spent months harassing her for her appearance and blaming her for a movie she had no creative control over. It is reflective of a future of the DC universe where corporate interference stands above creative vision.
All of this is unsurprising, considering David Ellison and Skydance's co-CEO met with Zionist Gal Gadot recently, supporting her in spreading the narrative that criticism of the genocidal Apartheid state of Israel is antisemitic. I would not be surprised if they bring her back as Wonder Woman soon and remove Adria Arjona from Man of Tomorrow as well as, who is rumoured to portray the character in it.
The future of this franchise is fucking bleak, but there is an easy way out of it: Protest with your wallet. Stop watching the movies and shows of the Zionist Republican conglomerate and they will quickly abandon this universe entirely.

This is every fucking moron's first point
Stephen A. Smith wants his daughter to get her first paycheck before supporting Zohran Mamdani
Stephen A. Smith: “My daughter loves Mamdani. And I know exactly why, ‘cause she ain’t pay a damn bill yet.”
Trevor Noah: “I knew you were gonna say that.”
Stephen A. Smith: “She ain’t pay a damn bill. Let me tell you, she’s about to turn 18. And when that happens, fellas, she’s going to have a job. I don’t give a damn if it’s for a month. ’Cause I want to see her face when she sees that check.”
“I’m going to make sure she’s working in New York. I want to see the check. You know what I’m saying? When you went to work thinking that this is the money that you were earning, and then the check comes home and more than half your shit is missing.”
“I want to see what you say then. Yeah, Nyla, I’m talking about you. I can’t wait because I ain’t having it.”
