Today, growing demands by labor unions to keep jobs out of the hands of “foreign” workers as a purported defense against neoliberal globalization should concern us. The demand for increased enforcement against migrant workers reproduces the logic of scarcity upon which austerity depends, maintains the international division of labor upon which capitalism relies, and aligns with far-right racism. The perceived loss of national and economic sovereignty, as argued by both the far right and many labor organizations, is blamed on migrant workers, thus rendering their protection of the working class as racially and nationally inscribed. As Lauren Berlant notes, the “implicit whiteness and maleness of the original American citizen is thus itself protected by national identity.” Instead, we should assert that migrant workers don’t suppress wages; bosses and borders do. Labor movements must align with migrant worker organizations demanding an end to a system of indentureship that establishes highly racialized, gendered, and nationalist labor pools and regimes of citizenship. We need full immigration status and labor protections for all workers.

The Inflation Reduction Act: A Green Facade Masking Protectionism and Global Inequality

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), signed into law by President Biden on August 16, 2022, has been lauded by its proponents as a monumental step in addressing economic and environmental issues in the United States. But let’s peel back the polished rhetoric, and what do we find? A web of contradictions, protectionism disguised as progress, and a policy framework that, despite its lofty…

While I’m thinking about Iathrim-Dwarvish cultural exchange, let me present an AU:

Instead of a physical altercation over the nauglamir-silmaril, the dwarves just... withdraw all of their services from Doriath. Conclusively. Doriath is now under dwarven boycott until they return stolen cultural artifacts and re-negotiate labor prices.

Do the Iathrim know how maintain Menegroth on their own? I doubt it! A handful might have the skills, but I doubt there are enough of them to maintain the whole city. See also: jewelry manufacture, access to metals, and (with Nargothrond gone) access to... any trade at all.

Biden showing Netanyahu ‘he’s serious’ with weapons transfer ‘pause’: Analyst

The US has paused a shipment of bombs to Israel - saying it has not addressed Washington's concerns about a major ground operation in Rafah.

The events in Rafah are unfolding as ceasefire negotiations - brokered by Qatar and Egypt - are being held in Cairo. Israel's Prime Minister says the proposal Hamas has agreed to, falls short of Israel's demands.

Hamas says if Israel's military aggression continues in Rafah, there will be no ceasefire deal. The senior spokesperson for Hamas, Osama Hamdan, says it's now up to Israel whether or not a deal goes through.

Al Jazeera's Mohammed Jamjoom has the latest from the Jordanian capital, Amman.

The reported decision by the Biden administration to pause a shipment of US weapons to Israel is a “very significant move”, according to Amir Oren, a journalist with the Haaretz newspaper. With the US saying it opposes a major Israeli assault on Rafah, which started on Tuesday, Oren told Al Jazeera that the reported move was an act of “deterrence” by the US.

“Biden had to show Netanyahu that he’s serious,” Oren said. When asked if the US move was purely symbolic given it would not prevent the Israeli assault on Rafah, Oren said, “No battle is the very last one.”

“[Israel] must replenish its stock in order to netaprepare for Lebanon for instance, or for another Iranian contingency,” he told Al Jazeera. “So [pausing weapons transfers] doesn’t have to do only with what is happening tomorrow, you must think about next week and next year.” The Biden administration has faced sharp criticism over its policy of arming Israel, which critics say violates US laws banning military aid and weapon sales to countries engaged in rights abuses.
