WHY I VOTED NO ON THE MCCARTHY AGREEMENT
 

This week, President Biden and Republicans reached an agreement on the
debt ceiling. But that deal is not a genuine bipartisan agreement; it
concedes to the unreasonable demands of Republicans who held the debt
ceiling hostage for their own agenda.

Democrats should have abolished the debt ceiling and the filibuster
when we had Congressional majorities. We should have used the 14th
Amendment to achieve a clean debt ceiling increase. But here we are.

If the GOP cared about the deficit, they would not pass tax cuts for
the rich and cripple the ability of the IRS to go after tax cheats.
They would agree to raise revenue and cut excessive defense contractor
spending instead.

The McCarthy agreement puts hundreds of thousands of SNAP recipients
up to 54 years old at risk by implementing new “work requirements”
designed to deny benefits to some of our most vulnerable. It resumes
student loan payments that have burdened tens of millions of Americans
and reinvigorates the cycle of crushing debt that has stunted economic
growth. It fast-tracks the disastrous Mountain Valley Pipeline,
locking us into fossil fuel dependency as the climate crisis worsens.

As a political calculation, the McCarthy agreement allows America to
pay its bills for the time being. But I believe we need to do better.
The concessions made in this deal do nothing but harm hardworking
Americans while giving wealthy donors, corporations, and big-money
interests a pass.

This is not about politics, it’s about people. That’s why I voted
no on the McCarthy agreement. We need to set a precedent of the
Treasury paying bills that Congress has authorized and take the issue
to the courts so that we never have a manufactured default crisis
again.

I will continue to fight for the policies Americans deserve, because
when working people thrive, everyone benefits.

Onward,

RE: WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT?
 

Robert's  intention to end the Voting Rights Act was cited clearly as
his own stated primary goal in The New York Times before his
confirmation in the Senate. Democrats did not use this to disqualify
and campaign against him. I guess we must give credit where it's due.

RE: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAX BILLIONAIRES AT 90 PERCENT?
 

England in the 1950s, when the marginal tax rate was 97.5% and
unemployment was very low (and also the feelings of anti-fascist
solidarity, the joint war effort, were still there) was a place with a
low crime rate, little violence and very little vandalism.

RE: BIDEN’S ANTISEMITISM STRATEGY GETS A LOT RIGHT — BUT HAS ONE

Criticism of Israel has no more to do with anti-Semitism than ANY
criticism of ANY government of ANY country.

Judyth Hollub

      =====

More nonsense about the IHRA definition. Of course it can be abused as
a weapon against critics of Israel, but only by ignoring what it
actually says. Critics like this are doing exactly the same thing as
the abusers because both are ignoring what the IHRA actually says. The
abusers do so to attack all criticism of Israel and the critics do so
to provide cover for perceived allies when they engage in Antisemitic
rhetoric. Both are reprehensible.

Mixing the Nexus and the Jerusalem versions is part of this strategy.
The Nexus is a refinement of the IHRA while the Jerusalem declaration
is intended to contradict it. The Jerusalem declaration has never been
used to identify antisemitism, only to defend leftists and their
allies when they are accused of antisemitism— and that tells us what
it's real goals are.

Stan Nadel

Before there was Israel there was antisemitism. Blood libel, Jew
hating, Killers of Christ, etc. These antisemitic tropes need to be

RE: HISTORY IS A HUMAN RIGHT
 

Very important article, but please don't limit the discussion to just
Black people.

Many other oppressed groups are also being excluded, like Native
Americans and Asians.  Too many times, we only think about
discrimination against Black people and neglect to remember to be in
solidarity with others in the same boat.

RE: THIS YEARS MASS. GRADUATES ARE 400 MILLION IN DEBT
 

WOKE FINALLY DEFINED

June 4, 2023

In the dark ages of 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ own General
Counsel Ryan Newman was obliged to answer in court what “woke”
means. He defined it as:

“THE BELIEF THERE ARE SYSTEMIC INJUSTICES IN AMERICA AND THE NEED TO
ADDRESS THEM.”

[This was during the trial charging that DeSantis exceeded his powers
and violated the First Amendment right to free speech by suspending
Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren. Ryan’s statement
can be readily found in news coverage of the trial]

RE: SUPREME COURT RULES COMPANY CAN PURSUE STRIKE DAMAGES

#SCOTUS rules against #labor, via xxxxxx

"In a loss for organized labor, the Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in
favor of a concrete company in Washington state seeking to revive a
lawsuit against the International Brotherhood of Teamsters alleging
that a strike damaged its product.

The 8-1 decision, written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, means the
company, Glacier Northwest Inc., can pursue a lawsuit against the
union in state court over an August 2017 strike in which drivers
walked off the job, leaving wet concrete in their trucks. The company
claims the union is liable for what it says was intentional damage to
its product.

....Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, saying the ruling
"risks erosion of the right to strike." Jackson's two liberal
colleagues, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, joined the court's
conservative justices in the majority...."

RE: UKRAINE ARTICLES ON xxxxxx
 

Thanks for running the two articles supporting the views of the
Ukraine and Russian left about some of our left who would have them
give up.

Peace, of course, is good. And to get to peace, sometimes you have to
stand up to bullies even though there's a price, whether those bullies
are in a school yard, in a political party, in your own country, or on
a continent of nations.

For nations, we used to call it "self-determination." Is that a thing
any more?

Anyway, I think you ran a letter along these lines back in like
February or March responding to a review of Sue Benjamin's book but
actually running articles is even better. Wish you had run articles
like this sooner but okay. Maybe I missed them. And, I get it, it's
all very contentious.

Thanks.

RE: HENRY KISSINGER IS A DISGUSTING WAR CRIMINAL.

 

As Henry Kissinger celebrated his 100th year birthday, during this
Memorial weekend, mainstream media lauded his brilliance and lifetime
of achievement. Predictably ignored, were the literally thousands of
Cambodian, Laotian and Vietnamese children, whose chance to reach
adulthood was cruelly severed by Kissinger- promoted airstrikes.

The Washington Post ran a proud column by Kissinger’s son David
pondering the secrets of his longevity. The "real secret of my
father’s endurance is his sense of mission." Some might think him a
"cold realist," but his unrecognized idealism is salient. "He believes
deeply in such arcane concepts as patriotism, loyalty, and
bipartisanship. It pains him to see the nastiness in today’s public
discourse and the seeming collapse of the art of diplomacy."

Notably absent from David’s list are other "arcane concepts" –
including human rights, the rule of law, the sovereignty of nations,
the sanctity of democratic governance. Also sidestepped in the
outpouring of tributes were the many places, where Kissinger’s
actions contributed to vast human tragedies, among them, Bangladesh,
Chile, Argentina, and East Timor.

But what of Vietnam, the place where Kissinger left his mark as
ostensible peacemaker? During Nixon’s first term in office, the
National Security Advisor traveled back and forth from Washington to
Paris and Saigon to achieve a settlement. This Herculean effort
finally resulted in the four-power Paris Peace Agreement of January
27, 1973. For this accomplishment Kissinger and his North Vietnamese
counterpart Le Duc Tho were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Kissinger
readily accepted, Le Duc Tho did not.

That Kissinger emerged from this enterprise with an enhanced
reputation was largely the result of the network of relationships with
celebrities, reporters, and columnists, which he had carefully
cultivated. Through these private communications he conveyed the
impression that unlike Nixon and his immediate circle, he was a
moderate "dove" – someone distanced from the carnage taking place on
the ground, who was bending every effort to terminate it.

There were grains of truth. Kissinger desperately wanted to secure a
Vietnam peace agreement, which could solidify his standing with Nixon
and enhance his national profile. But the peace agreement he was
charged with pursuing, was on American terms: mutual troop withdrawal
of North Vietnamese and US troops from South Vietnam, and the
retention of the existing Thieu government, at least for a time.

It quickly became obvious to Kissinger that there was zero prospect
that Hanoi would agree to mutual withdrawal, an aim that he
reluctantly abandoned. However, the retention of an independent South
Vietnamese government was essential for Nixon and for others in the
Administration. If that regime disappeared, it would be all too
obvious that the United States had lost the war.

How to avoid that outcome? Behind the scenes, Henry Kissinger was a
leading "hawk " -at times more aggressive in his approach than even
the President. If there was any group that commanded his respectful
attention, it was the military leadership- in the Pentagon and at
military headquarters in Saigon (MACV). It was no accident that within
his NSC staff, it was Brigadier General Al Haig, who largely eclipsed
the more intellectual experts, including Morton Halperin, Anthony
Lake, Roger Morris and others.

RE: UPS TEAMSTERS ARE READY TO STRIKE
 

The UPS contract fight therefore comes at a pivotal moment for US
labor. What happens here could shape the direction of the movement for
years to come — not only because this contract covers several
hundred thousand workers who move 6 percent of US GDP daily, but also
because the issues at stake in this fight are representative of those
faced by workers across the economy.

This contract fight is about two visions of work in the twenty-first
century. One is promoted by workers: equal pay for equal work, dignity
and autonomy on the job, and a stable work-life balance. The other is
promoted by Wall Street: hypersurveillance, low pay, subcontracting,
gig work, and “flexible” scheduling practices that hurt workers
and benefit bosses.
    .
The expectations of rank-and-file Teamsters are high. If the two-tier
wage structure of drivers is not eliminated on day one of this
contract, it is a strike issue. If part-time workers do not get a
significant pay increase, it is a strike issue. If all workdays beyond
the five-day workweek are not totally voluntary, it is a strike issue.
    .
They kept the economy running throughout the COVID-19 pandemic without
a penny of hazard pay and watched UPS make record profits off their
backs while working forced overtime. Of course they now want their
fair share.

RE: HAVE ANY OF KARL MARX’S CRITICS TODAY ACTUALLY READ HIM?
 

For the most part, NO. Most of Marx's critics don't know how to read.

William Hansen

      =====

The comments I have read from those on Right indicate that they are
woefully ignorant of who Marx was and what he believed. Supposedly,
according to such Wackos, Marx instigated the Russian Revolution. When
a local "Anti-Marxist" posted such a statement I replied noting that
Marx died long before the Russian Revolution and indeed had written
that he neither expected nor encouraged Socialists to attempt a
Revolution in such a backward country. I've read fantastic criticisms
of Marx for not understanding 21st century Capitalism, how is a man
writing and thinking in the 19th century supposed to anticipate the
development of capitalism in the century after the next ??? Silly
people, who deserve dismissal and humiliation.

Lawrence Winans

      =====

They’ll read just the Manifesto and think that means they understand
Marxism.

Meanwhile, actually Marxists have read the Manifesto, Capital,
Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, the Civil War in France,
Grundrisse, Anti-Duhring, etc etc and are still coming to new
understandings constantly. The Manifesto is a long pamphlet y’all.
Barely scratches the surface.

STRUGGLES WITH AIR QUALITY IN FEDERAL OFFICES PUT OCCUPANTS AT RISK OF
COVID EXPOSURE

 

Leadership at the General Services Administration agreed with
recommendations to address the issues from its watchdog.

five recommendations to remedy the issues it identified.  (Caroline

The federal government’s landlord has struggled to maintain air
quality standards in its buildings thus putting occupants at risk for
exposure to COVID-19, a report said on Monday. 

Ventilation in buildings owned by the General Services Administration
is subject to various industry standards and federal guidance, such as
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Occupational
Safety and Health Administration. Between November 2021 and November
2022, the agency’s watchdog conducted an audit of how a
“judgmental sample” of 20 of GSA’s 1,477 owned buildings in
Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia complied with
these standards. 

“[GSA’s Public Buildings Service] is struggling to meet the
[American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning
Engineer] ventilation standard and to comply with CDC and OSHA
guidance,” said a GSA inspector general report.
[[link removed]] “We
found that PBS is not meeting—or does not have complete information
to determine if it is meeting—the [society] ventilation standard for
the majority of GSA-owned buildings. We also found that PBS has not
consistently implemented CDC and OSHA recommendations to improve
ventilation in GSA-owned buildings. 

Overall, the IG said, “these deficiencies increase the risk that
building occupants will be exposed to airborne viruses, including the
virus that causes COVID-19.”

The IG made five recommendations to remedy the issues it identified,
such as taking on a thorough review to determine if air handlers in
GSA owned buildings meet the American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineer ventilation standard and
making sure PBS staff who have ventilation system responsibilities are
trained properly. 

PBS Commissioner Nina Albert wrote in a response to the IG that they
agree with the recommendations and outlines the steps the agency has
taken or plans to take. “PBS considers indoor air quality to be
vitally important for our occupant agencies, especially during this
COVID-19 pandemic,” she said. 

This was not the first time GSA was dinged for air quality issues by
its watchdog. 

The IG released reports about ventilation issues at the GSA
headquarters child care center in March 2022
[[link removed]];
challenges to install CDC-recommended air filters in some GSA
buildings in September 2022

and ventilation issues in unrenovated wings of the GSA headquarters
in November 2022.

Mapped: The Wealthiest Billionaire in Each U.S. State in 2022

The U.S. is home to over a quarter of the world’s billionaires,
representing about 720 of the roughly 2,700 that exist globally.

While the country has more billionaires than any other, the U.S. share
of global billionaires has actually been shrinking in recent decades.
In 2010, about 40% of the world’s billionaire population lived in
America⁠—and today, that number is closer to 27%.

But who is the richest billionaire in every American state in 2022?
