    Fateh's higher education bill included tuition-free public colleges and universities and tribal colleges for students from families whose income is less than $80,000 a year.[18] It also included an increase to Hunger Free Campus grants,[19]emergency assistance grants.[20]

    Fateh was the chief Senate author of a bill to provide minimum wages and worker protections for drivers for rideshare companies such as Uberand Lyft.

  • www.yahoo.com Poll: Zohran Mamdani's policies are popular with Americans outside New York — even if Mamdani is not

    A new Yahoo/YouGov survey finds that about twice as many U.S. adults say they would vote for a candidate with Mamdani’s platform (50%) than say they would not (26%). Could it be a blueprint for Democrats elsewhere?

    Most children - and some adults - remain in ignorance of many dark Thomas the Tank Engine moments. Despite the evolution of Thomas the Tank Engine to Thomas and Friends, the strange but revealing description of these animated steam engines is in the intro lyrics: "They're the really useful crew,...

    itsgoingdown.org Beyond Electoral Socialism: Why Winning Elections Alone Can’t Ensure Structural Change

    Andrew Lee looks critically at the history of socialist politicians being elected to office. Originally posted to In Struggle.  There’s a lot of understandable jubilation at Zohran Mamdani’s upset victory in the New York City Democratic primary for mayor. Nationally, liberal talking heads have been ...

    Beyond Electoral Socialism: Why Winning Elections Alone Can’t Ensure Structural Change

    > There’s a good reason for this, and it’s not (just) that their beliefs were insincere. The whole point of thinking about structures like capitalism, patriarchy, or white supremacy is recognizing structural power beyond the intentions or beliefs of any individual actor. The problem with capitalism isn’t that particular business owners are greedy, it’s that the system of private ownership requires exploitation and poverty. The problem with patriarchy isn’t that all men happen to be evil and all non-men happen to be saints. The problem is the system that secures wealth, power, and safety for one gender at the expense of others.

    > We should think about state power in the same systematic way. It’s true—some politicians are especially terrible, just like some bosses are particularly noxious and some men are exceptionally patriarchal. But there are structural reasons for all men to take advantage of the privileges of patriarchy, whether we’re personally bigoted or not. Similarly, there are structural forces pressuring leftists in elected office to abandon their positions, entirely independent of their degree of personal ideological commitment

    Armed Attack Against the Autonomous Purépecha Community of Cherán K’eri

    > Since the early morning of July 2, 2025, the community of Cherán K’eri has been under armed attack by unknown subjects seeking to enter the areas of Rancho del Pino and Cerrito del Aire. In response, our Community Round (autonomous security force established by our system of self-government) has resisted the aggression, activating the barricades to protect the population. At the moment, one person has been reported killed and another injured, both members of the Community Round. This fact fills us with indignation, sadness, and rage.

    > This attack is not an isolated act. It is part of an escalation of violence that has intensified in the state of Michoacán, where organized crime fights over territory with total impunity, seriously affecting rural and Indigenous communities. In recent weeks, the aggressions have intensified in different regions of the state, including the Purépecha Plateau, where communities like Nahuatzen, Arantepacua, Capácuaro, and Santa Fe de la Laguna have also been the target of threats, armed incursions, and territorial dispossession.

    Invisible, Misrepresented, and Harmed: ME/CFS Voices Demand Accountability from SBS​

    SBS Insight Invisible Illness – Statement by 4 Studio Participants

    Published: 23 June 2025​

    Invisible, Misrepresented, and Harmed: ME/CFS Voices Demand Accountability from SBS​

    A Joint Statement from Participants and Advocates in Response to the 20 May 2025 Episode of Insight​

    This statement has been prepared by a group of individuals who participated in the recent SBS Insight episode on invisible illness. We are united in our deep concern over how the episode was produced, edited, and presented and the serious harm it caused by misrepresenting Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) and its impact on the wider chronic illness community.​

    We believe this broadcast represents a clear breach of SBS’s own Code of Practice. The program:​

    • Failed to uphold editorial integrity by platforming a participant with undisclosed commercial interests (Section 3.1: Editorial Independence and Integrity);
    • Presented medically inaccurate and misleading portrayals of ME/CFS (Section 3.2: Accuracy);
    • Minimised the diversity of lived experiences in favour of a single recovery narrative (Section 3.3: Diversity of Views and Perspectives);
    • Caused emotional harm to participants and viewers alike (Section 4.1: Harm and Offence);

    As a public broadcaster, SBS has a duty to ensure ethical, accurate, and inclusive storytelling, especially when dealing with marginalised communities.​
