RE: TRUMP INDICTMENT  

The two most pressing issues to follow the Trump indictment are

(1): an outburst of opprobrium from vigilantes -those very
un-regulated militias, and elected Republican office-holders who have
de facto groomed them, and who will now use their offices to cheer on
civil war (see the ‘marching orders’ issued by Rep. Clay Higgins
of Louisiana), and

(2): As the indictment was filed in Florida, there is a very good
chance that the case will be assigned to Aileen Cannon, the federal
judge who overreached both Trump’s lawyers’ requests and
established law in her rulings last year -which were later negated by
other justices.

WHAT DAY IS THIS  (WITH THANKS TO A. A. MILNE AND ILLUSTRATOR E. H.
SHEPARD)

VOTING RIGHTS AND TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

Unfortunately, the entire discussion of "voting rights" revolves
around gerrymandering and other voter suppression methods. Always
forgotten is the more than half-million people in Washington, Colony
of Colombia who have no representation in the Senate, no voting
Representation in the House, and even not the right to govern own City
without any activity leading to the "suppression."

They don't even play the game of trying to show that there is
representation. "Gerrymandering" gets justified with ridiculous
claims, "voter suppression" actions like long lines, short voting
hours, few voting places and no water is described as protecting the
accuracy of the vote. No excuses are given for our lack of vote and
little attempt to provide it. As our license plates say,

"Taxation Without Representation."

This article should be taken down. The very basic vetting was not
done. A simple google would have found a lie in the second paragraph.
The writer used a mainstream propaganda tale that Kyle Rittenhouse
killed black men. They were not black men.

Even CNN has been forced to tell the truths to this propaganda tale.:

The lies are still around and you just copied and help disseminated
the lie. You can't help facilitate bullshit. Eventually you'll become
antiquated if you do enough. And you'll lose me. I've found inaccurate
stories on your site, but all in all, there's some pretty good reads.

      =====

Moderator's Note:

While Ishmael Reed's article deals with a new level of attacks and
murders of African Americans, the sentence in the article reads:

"Contrast those who in the old days lynched for free with Kyle
Rittenhouse, who raised 2 million for a defense fund. He killed two
demonstrators."

Because of the focus of his article, one could assume that the
inclusion of the reference is that the victims of Ritenhouse are
African Americans. Another assumption could be that the perpetrators
of right-wing vigilante racist violence used this assault, like they
use similar assaults to raise mega funds for their racist agenda.

We thank the reader for pointing out the confusion this has created.
We have reached out to Ishmael Reed for a clarification.

RE: IOWA GOVERNOR SIGNS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ROLLBACKS OF CHILD
LABOR LAWS IN THE COUNTRY  

Every single one of those amendments is terrifying on their own but
the last one to limit the states' ability to impose penalties for
future violations by employers should chill EVERYONE to the bone. That
basically says that employers will get a free pass to break labour
laws and do as they please with employees. 😡

HERE LIES LOVE Will Add 12 Local 802 Musicians To Broadway Production

HERE LIES LOVE BEGINS PERFORMANCES AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE ON

Broadway's Here Lies Love
[[link removed]] and
the AFM Local 802 musicians union have reached an agreement on the
issue of orchestra size for the production. According to recently
released statements from both camps, the production will open on
Broadway with 12 union musicians in its pit.

The statement from the union reads, “After negotiation, we have
reached an agreement that will bring live music to “Here Lies
Love” with the inclusion of 12 musicians to the show. Broadway is a
very special place with the best musicians and performances in the
world, and we are glad this agreement honors that tradition.”

A statement from the show's producers reads, “On behalf of our
entire cast, company and creative team, we have reached an agreement
with Musicians Union Local 802, per the collective bargaining
agreement. We look forward to welcoming audiences to experience the
revolutionary musical experience that is _Here Lies Love_ at the
Broadway Theatre beginning on Saturday, June 17.”

RE: THE SURPRISING PERVASIVENESS OF AMERICAN ARROGANCE  

Dear Kevin Young, Charles Patrick, and other Putin apologists:

Do a thought experiment. Russia invaded the US 8 years ago and took
several states (pick the one you live in). Then he comes back and
tries to take our entire country, slaughtering Americans, destroying
our cities, kidnapping our children to turn them into "good Russians."
And he is doing this all under the mystical belief that Russia has the
right - the obligation - to destroy "Western decadence." And he has
made it clear that when he finishes with the US, he plans to take the
rest of North and South America. (Remember, this is a thought
experiment.)

If allowed to keep large swaths of Ukraine, Russia will invade again
to take more - all of it. Any negotiation that leaves Russia
controlling a part of this nation is a win for Putin. "Not one more
penny for the war in Ukraine" is a false framing. These progressives
are saying "not one more penny to defend against invasion."

I have opposed illegal invasions all my life. And let's clarify our
language. We were not engaged in a "Vietnam War." We were engaged in
the invasion of Vietnam - and all such acts since then were invasions.
This is not a "war in Ukraine" it is the invasion of Ukraine." I
supported the complete withdrawal of the US from Vietnam. I support
the complete withdrawal of Russia from Ukraine.

I too am appalled by progressives willing to yield another nation to a
Russian invasion. Would they do that if it were their own country? If
you support giving away parts of a country to an invader, you cannot
lay claims to a progressive stance.

RE: THE ARC  

(posting on xxxxxx Culture
[[link removed]])
 

Kenneth Pobo's poem "the Arc of History" seems representative of a
regrettable tendency that bends towards resignation and defeat. There
is something to be criticized in the optimistic fatalism of the MLK
quote: "We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is
long but it bends toward justice." But let's criticize the fatalism
rather than the optimism. We act. The arc of the moral universe must
be bent to our will.

MLK coined this phrase to help galvanize the civil rights movement.
Today, the palpable agency of the 60s is not manifest. Let us not
therefore—in our justifiable contrarianism—render defeat as an
immutable natural law. Maybe pessimism has a shorter half-life than we
think.

      =====

This reads like a “Hit Peace” and urgent warning to be aware,
wary, and demarcating-critical of these socialists activists,
organizations, and global alliances. The absolute rejectionist tone
marks the individual and organizational subjects as surreptitious
villains with through and through inappropriate and unacceptable
invariably incorrect and harmful politics and alliances. The schematic
“Pro Russia Pro China intransigent critical framework does not
provide or even hint at the almost inferred ideological and political
correct line somewhere and/or among some people and organizations to
be found in opposition to this of Dark Money confederacy in which
Socialist Cuba is noted.

Why this factional critique? Why no identification and examination of
the wider entangled global alliances (BRICS, CELAC, UNASUR, Bank of
the South) obviously not always wholesome ideological and political
motives and goals in the real-time regional-global economic, political
development, military alliances and dangerous maneuvers certainly
connected to the Russia-China pivots in an increasingly deadly
confrontational oppositional power flows against US-EUROPE-NATO,
Australian, Japanese, etc.al. global dominance alliances.

Why no political education approach to identifying, unraveling,
bridging where possible, continuing productive debate where warranted
these real, not ideal, global developments? Why not focus-critique
motives, goals and contradictions of realpolitik multipolarity, not
general critical rejection of Russia and China state actors at large,
and crude condemnation bounty like organigrama and portrait specific
targeting?

I raise and critically reject this all too familiar sectarianism. I do
so not out of fealty to abstract unity, nor uncompromising allegiance
to some inflexible Left code of Principles and Decorum. I critique
this approach to progressive and left debate and alignments from some
actual vantage of critical sectarian engagements over years and
decades with some the targeted socialists whom I respect despite some
noted and likely significant differences of analysis and in overall
progressive and Left political practice. I do so because this sort of
self assumed journalism (not necessarily this journalist) narrows the
larger ideo-political landscape and de facto dismisses hundreds of
young progressive, and self and organizational declared socialists.
multiracial-cultural—ethnic-gender-class in their composition whom
I’ve critically engaged and still engage who work in strategic
ideological, political, and organizational alliances with some of
these individuals and organizations, even if I do not.

What are they to learn, take away, seriously engage from this attack
mode of progressive and Left shallow analysis and portrait attacks?

I have and do critically participate on some of these targeted media
platforms, consistently proactive and critical about Russia and China,
Multipolarity, BRICS, and so on, expressly regarding working class and
exploited and oppressed sectors, and related unacceptable ideological
and political contradictions among the aligned in this momentous,
urgent, and global power shift. One of the leading Left organizers in
the spread of identified organizations critiqued referred to me as the
most ecumenical Marxist I know”. Although I am not all-embracing,
and I have my no-cross and rejection lines, I neither embrace shallow
analysis , nor abstractions, nor mechanical application of agreed upon
principles.

We can and must do better or remain isolated from the always messy.
complications and contradictions in the worldwide freedom struggles
against Capitalism-Imperialism and a wide range of intra-systems
competitive, confrontational, and revolutionary social movement and
state governance projects.

END CRYPTO’S PRESUMPTION OF LEGITIMACY AND OTHER QUICK HITS  

It’s Time That The Media Accept What Even Wall Street And Venture
Capitalists Have – Crypto Is One Massive Grift. Those Involved With
It Should Be Treated Accordingly.

This week the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced
lawsuits against both Binance
[[link removed]] and Coinbase
[[link removed]] – the
world’s largest
[[link removed]] and
second-largest cryptocurrency exchanges respectively. The SEC has
taken its time to build the caselaw needed to go after these massive
cryptocurrency exchanges and it has spent the past two years winning
130 cases related to digital assets. While some have attacked this
process
[[link removed]],
SEC Chair Gary Gensler understood the need for legal precedent before
going after the crypto industry’s largest fish. After years of
catching minnows, Gensler clearly feels he is finally in the position
to crack down on the entire crypto ecosystem that has flourished by
plainly violating securities law. 

But Gensler isn’t the only one who believes the crypto ecosystem is
built by grifters and upon a foundation of violations of American
securities law: the investor class has now accepted this too. While
cryptocurrency was once the new frontier of investment, venture
capitalists and Wall Street are both rightfully fleeing the industry.
In the past 12 months, every facet of the industry has faced a scandal
large enough to tank its credibility forever. Amazingly though, the
political press refuses to update their priors. Cryptocurrency is
still treated as a legitimate industry at the forefront of tech
innovation. 

Let’s do a brief (and incomplete) summary of the largest
cryptocurrency news of the past year. 

MAY 2022 – Luna and UST stablecoins – crypto tokens that were
supposed to retain a constant value through algorithmic processes
– collapsed
[[link removed]].
The collapse resulted in a loss of $60 billion in the crypto market
and drove the crypto firms Celsius, Three Arrows Capital and Voyager
Digital into bankruptcy. The founder of Luna and UST, Do Kwon,
was indicted
[[link removed]] for
his role in the fraud back in March. 

JULY 2022 – Crypto lender BlockFi
[[link removed]] which
had once been valued at $3 billion, was forced to look for an
emergency bailout as a result of the Luna collapse and a massive $100
million settlement with the SEC for violations of securities law.
BlockFi received a buyout offer from FTX which allowed the company to
continue operating… until it was forced to declare bankruptcy after
the collapse of FTX. 

NOVEMBER 2022 – Crypto currency’s third largest exchange, FTX,
which was once valued at $32 billion, collapsed as it was revealed
that the company had been committing fraud
[[link removed]] for
years and stealing customer deposits to use in its crypto trading
firm, Alameda Research. FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was indicted
[[link removed]] on
multiple counts of fraud. Customers lost almost $9 billion
[[link removed].]. 

MARCH 2023 – Silicon Valley Bank
[[link removed]], Silvergate
Bank
[[link removed]],
and Signature Bank
[[link removed]],
three of the traditional finance industry’s most crypto-friendly
banks, collapsed in a larger
[[link removed]] bank
failure than the 2008 crisis. All three of the banks had significant
risks as a result of their relationship with crypto.

IT WAS ANOTHER BIG WEEK OF RESTAURANT CLOSURES IN NEW YORK CITY

A regularly updated roundup of closed restaurants in New York City

Updated Jun 9, 2023
Eater New York
[[link removed]]

Three years after New York’s first indoor dining shutdown,
restaurants continue to close due to the lasting financial impacts of
the pandemic. At least 4,500 food businesses have shuttered since
March 2020. Since it’s difficult to track
[[link removed]] closings
in real-time, experts say that number is likely much higher — and
could take years to fully assess.

WE CAN’T SURVIVE ON $7.25: TEN YEARS OF THE FIGHT FOR $15 AND A
UNION - NEW YORK - JUNE 5 - AUGUST 3  (CUNY SCHOOL OF LABOR AND URBAN
STUDIES)

 

Ten years ago, 200 fast-food cooks and cashiers walked off the job in
New York City demanding $15 an hour and the right to a union. Nobody
gave them a shot. But they believed. And over the past decade, that
belief in the power of working people joining together, making a bold
demand and taking militant action built a movement that spread from
coast to coast, around the world and across industries.

We Can’t Survive on $7.25, a new exhibition commemorating 10 years
of the groundbreaking Fight for $15 and a Union movement, will open
June 5 at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies in Midtown. It is
built around art that workers carried on strike lines in their
decade-long fight for higher pay and a union that transformed the
politics of the country and has been a driving force for higher pay
and unions for all and against systemic racism, sexual harassment and
the failure to protect workers during a global pandemic.

“All of the posters, picket signs, banners, and flags in the exhibit
were held in the hands of working people as they went on strike,
chanted in harmony, and marched together declaring, ‘We are Worth
More,’” said artists Claire Rabkin and Cora Lautze of Roses Too,
the curators of the exhibit. “These pieces hold the stories of a
movement that won more than $150 billion in annual raises for 26
million workers, narrowed the racial wealth gap, inspired a wave of
organizing efforts across the service sector and made unions more
popular than they’ve been in more than half a century.”

WE CAN’T SURVIVE ON $7.25: TEN YEARS OF THE FIGHT FOR $15 AND A
UNION WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FROM JUNE 5 THROUGH AUG. 3, 2023,
Monday through Thursday 9am-6pm, on the 18th floor of  the CUNY
School of Labor and Urban Studies in New York City. Admission is free
for all visitors.
