Taft-Hartley Act (1947)

Mon Jun 23, 1947

On this day in 1947, the Taft-Hartley Act became U.S. law after a heavily bipartisan vote, greatly restricting the legal rights of organizing workers during an unprecedented wave of strikes after World War II.

The Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, better known as the Taft-Hartley Act, was enacted despite the veto of President Harry S. Truman, with many Democrats defecting from the party line to support the union-busting measure.

The Act was introduced in the aftermath of a major, unprecedented wave of strikes in the aftermath of World War II, from 1945-1946. Strikes were strongly repressed during World War II to not hamper the war effect. When the wartime restrictions ended, millions of workers across the country went on strike.

The Taft-Hartley Act prohibits unions from engaging in "unfair labor practices." Among the practices prohibited by the act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns. The Act also allowed states to pass right-to-work laws banning union shops.

A pamphlet supporting a third, progressive party, published in 1948, had this to say on the vote:

"Every scheme of the lobbyists to fleece the public became law in the 80th Congress. And every constructive proposal to benefit the common people gathered dust in committee pigeonholes. The bi-partisan bloc, the Republocratic cabal which ruled Congress and made a mockery of President Roosevelt's economic bill of rights, also wrecked the Roosevelt foreign policy. A new foreign policy was developed. This policy was still gilded with the good words of democracy. But its Holy Grail was oil...

The Democratic administration carries the ball for Wall Street's foreign policy. And the Republican party carries the ball for Wall Street's domestic policy. Of course the roles are sometimes interchangeable...

On occasion President Truman still likes to lay an occasional verbal wreath on the grave of the New Deal. But the hard facts of roll call votes show that Democrats are voting more and more like Republicans. If the Republican Taft-Hartley bill became law over the President's veto, it was because many of the Democrats allied themselves to the Republicans."

It’s funny how people act as if there was such a time when “American Democracy” really was a great thing.

It’s always been elite coded and elite controlled.

Berlin: proposal to remove 30 km/h zones because air quality improved, thanks to 30 km/h zones


The absurdity of the proposal is already in the title, and shows how motonormativity is spread all over the world.

Berlin has a very good public transit system, and a few 30 km/h zones cannot be that bad.

I would love to hear opinions from someone who lives there!

crossposted from: mastodon.uno/users/rivoluzione…


Non solo in Italia: a Berlino vogliono togliere le zone 30, perché l'aria è migliorata, grazie alle zone 30.

L'assurdità della proposta è tutta nel titolo, e dimostra quanto la #motonormatività sia diffusa. #Berlino, una città con #trasportoPubblico davvero eccellente, può concedersi tranquillamente zone dove la velocità non la fa da padrone.

Yep sounds absurd. As I unterstand it the problem is that you need a reason for 30 km/h zones. The reason was the air quality which is now better so there is no reason anymore.
Some zones may be kept because the streets are used by school kids.

I think this is still absurd and good 30 km/h zones with synced traffic lights can yield a good traffic flow.

in reply to Ekpu

The fact that they have improved air quality is not sufficient reason? Do they think air quality is like painting a house, that it only has to be done every couple of years?

gigarivista scottiaca con segretissimo numero, trovato così nel vedere colì


A distanza di 2 anni (…io pensavo 1), chi si ricorda Scottecs Gigazine? Probabilmente nessuno, neppure io onestamente. Però, l’altro giorno mi è tornato in mente che esiste, giusto per caricare su TomoStash una manciata di volumi molto vecchi che ho trovato sull’agrodolce Archivio di Anna… e ok. Però poi ieri ho aperto il sito ufficiale della rivista gigante, per includere i link e per copincollare le descrizioni dei tomi, e lì ho scoperto non una, ma ben due (2) cose assurde… furbuffe, quasi. (!) 😱

Innanzitutto, esiste un numero speciale del Gigazine, il Numero Zero XL, che è esclusivamente digitale e gratuito!!! Non l’ho mai sentito prima, e in effetti è bello nascosto sul sito, tutto in fondo alla lista dei prodotti… sarà un regalo per i ficcanaso, e io approvo. La cosa strana però è che non si vede alcun tasto per scaricare, o che… l’unica cosa che a fatica trovo è il tasto “aggiungi al carrello secondario”, scrollando in fondo alla pagina, dove appare come flyout, ma… clicco e non funziona, semplicemente il testo si trasforma in una rotellina che gira all’infinito. Per sicurezza ho provato anche dal browser dei pensionati, che “non si sa mai che su Firefox magari è tutto rotto, specialmente il mio con 31 estensioni“, ma niente. 😓

Grande terrore, quindi. Ho temuto di non poter mettere le mani su questo PDF elusivissimo. Giusto un attimo prima di aprire i devtools del browser, per capire cosa va storto e non posso sistemare (qualcosa nel loro tema di Shopify, il JavaScript tira un errore Uncaught TypeError: this.form is null: initCartBar@theme.js [...]), però, per nessun motivo particolare se non il fatto che ci fosse un pallino “1” nell’angolo, il bottone della chat ha catturato la mia attenzione, e l’ho cliccato… e lì ho riso. Perché tra le tante “risposte immediate” c’è “Non riesco a scaricare il Numero 0 XL, che ho quindi cliccato, e il bot ha risposto “Gigaciao! Non ti preoccupare, utilizza il link qui sotto e scarica il Numero 0 XL! https://gigaciao.com/a/downloads/-/92f4529bab5bf4e…“. 🤯

Cioè… fatemi capire bene… Loro sanno perfettamente che il loro sito è rotto e il download non può partire, e non solo non sistemano semplicemente lo spacc nel codice, ma nemmeno mettono il link diretto al download nel testo della pagina… No, bisogna che l’utente abbia l’intuizione di scavare in altre parti del sito, in questo caso la chat di supporto, per trovare lì finalmente l’oggetto digitale tanto agognato! Regà, boh, è così assurdo che a questo punto non posso non pensare non sia stato fatto apposta; va bene i problemi, va bene l’incompetenza, ma qui siamo oltre: mi sa che è davvero una caccia al tesoro per chi ha abbastanza pazienza come me. Vabbè, tanto ora il numero 0 è ricaricato sul mio sito… e comunque ci ho perso solo 2-3 minuti, ma in cambio ho subito questa user experience assurda da raccontare. 👌

Experimental Piefed support is now available for Voyager


I'm excited to announce that Voyager now has experimental support for logging in with Piefed! You can try it out today on:

This will roll out to the official app stores and vger.app soon(tm), once I’m confident there are no major regressions. If you prefer not to switch to beta builds, just hang tight.

Please note that Piefed support is EXPERIMENTAL! There are still many things that don't work quite right, which I'm hoping to improve over the coming weeks.

The basics including scrolling home/all/local, viewing posts, blocking, commenting and voting should work well. However there are some known issues:

  • Can't sign up for a Piefed account in-app, only log in with an existing one
  • Subscribed communities list is empty (should be fixed soon!)
  • Inbox tab doesn't load
  • Comment search doesn't work
  • Profile upvoted/downvoted doesn't load
  • No moderation tools
  • Mark as read doesn't persist
  • Creating/editing posts is currently untested
  • ...probably a bunch of other stuff too, please let me know below!

Behind the scenes, this interoperability is made possible thanks to aeharding/threadiverse, a new library I am working on to normalize various threadiverse-software APIs. It's open source so any project use it, but it's under heavy development right now. What's cool about this is in the future, adding support for mbin, or whatever else is possible!

Again, feel free to try it out and let me know if there are any more issues to be documented and fixed.

in reply to FancyPantsFIRE

Yeah, piefed thumbnails are pretty small. I don't know if that's a per server config or not though. Probably something to ask the piefed devs
in reply to aeharding

Yesterday I merged in a PR that lets the instance admin set the sizes for thumbnails.

But the real issue is that the thumbnails have a variety of uses - in the PieFed web UI thumbnails are shown quite small so 170px is fine. But some mobile apps might show the thumbnail in a manner that spans the whole screen which is going to need to be at least 350px wide.

I'll make PieFed generate a 500px version of the thumbnail and include that in the API response (as well as the smaller one).



US State Dept. spokesperson says US is the greatest country on Earth... next to Israel.


It truly is impressive how thoroughly Israel has dominated US politics. Like, Russia may have had a huge victory by getting Trump elected, but they don't have shit on Israel. Hell, something like 60% of our elected representatives have received donations from AIPAC, and that's just the stuff that's been reported!

This 88-Year-Old Reporter Predicted How US Would Attack Iran And It has Happened Exactly


Seymour Hersh. Nearly 88, running his Substack, and still outpacing governments, intelligence leaks, and every newsroom, Hersh once again proved why he’s a legend in investigative journalism.

On June 19, he published a detailed exposé revealing that U.S. B-2 bombers and naval forces were preparing a “coordinated assault” on Iran’s key underground nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. He cited unnamed intelligence sources warning the attack was imminent and happening with almost no oversight from Congress or NATO allies.

Many brushed it off. Some called it far-fetched. On Sunday, when President Donald Trump confirmed the strikes and declared the targets “obliterated,” Hersh had already been proven right, two days ahead of the world.

This isn’t Hersh’s first time uncovering what others missed. His 2023 scoop on the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, which he linked to U.S. operations, followed a similar path: ignored at first, later echoed by leaked investigations. The Iran bombing story played out just the same: initial silence, disbelief, then confirmation.

But Hersh’s reporting also points to a bigger shift. More than 60% of Americans now get their breaking news from social media, newsletters, and independent platforms. The reason? Speed, raw reporting, and growing distrust in traditional journalism. Hersh calls it like he sees it, often accusing mainstream reporters of being too close to power to ask real questions.

in reply to geneva_convenience

I posted Hersh’s article in full four days ago: lemmy.ml/post/31954761


Seymour Hersh: What I’ve been told is coming in Iran


Full text of paywalled article below.


This is a report on what is most likely to happen in Iran, as early as this weekend, according to Israeli insiders and American officials I’ve relied upon for decades. It will entail heavy American bombing. I have vetted this report with a longtime US official in Washington, who told me that all will be “under control” if Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “departs.” Just how that might happen, short of his assassination, is not known. There has been a great deal of talk about American firepower and targets inside Iran, but little practical thinking, as far I can tell, about how to remove a revered religious leader with an enormous following.

I have reported from afar on the nuclear and foreign policy of Israel for decades. My 1991 book The Samson Option told the story of the making of the Israeli nuclear bomb and America’s willingness to keep the project secret. The most important unanswered question about the current situation will be the response of the world, including that of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president who has been an ally of Iran’s leaders.

The United States remains Israel’s most important ally, although many here and around the world abhor Israel’s continuing murderous war in Gaza. The Trump administration is in full support of Israel’s current plan to rid Iran of any trace of a nuclear weapons program while hoping the ayatollah-led government in Tehran will be overthrown.

I have been told that the White House has signed off on an all-out bombing campaign in Iran, but the ultimate targets, the centrifuges buried at least eighty meters below the surface at Fordow, will, as of this writing, not be struck until the weekend. The delay has come at Trump’s insistence because the president wants the shock of the bombing to be diminished as much as possible by the opening of Wall Street trading on Monday. (Trump took issue on social media this morning with a Wall Street Journal report that said he had decided on the attack on Iran, writing that he had yet to decide on a path forward.)

Fordow is home to the remaining majority of Iran’s most advanced centrifuges that have produced, according to recent reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to which Iran is a signatory, nine hundred pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent, a short step from weapons-grade levels.

The most recent Israeli bombing attacks on Iran have made no attempts to destroy the centrifuges at Fordow, which are stored at least eighty meters underground. It has been agreed, as of Wednesday, that US bombers carrying bunker bombs capable of penetrating to that depth, will begin attacking the Fordow facility this weekend.

The delay will give US military assets throughout the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean—there are more than two dozen US Air Force bases and Navy ports in the region—a chance to prepare for possible Iranian retaliation. The assumption is that Iran still has some missile and air force capability that will be on US bombing lists. “This is a chance to do away with this regime once and for all,” an informed official told me today, “and so we might as well go big.” He said, however, “that it will not be carpet bombing.”

The planned weekend bombing will also have new targets: the bases of the Republican Guards, which have countered those campaigning against the revolutionary leadership since the violent overthrow of the shah of Iran in early 1979.

The Israeli leadership under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hopes that the bombings will provide “the means of creating an uprising” against Iran’s current regime, which has shown little tolerance for those who defy the religious leadership and its edicts. Iranian police stations will be struck. Government offices that house files on suspected dissenters in Iran will also be attacked.

The Israelis apparently also hope, so I gather, that Khamenei will flee the country and not make a stand until the end. I was told that his personal plane left Tehran airport headed for Oman early Wednesday morning, accompanied by two fighter planes, but it is not known whether he was aboard.

Only two thirds of Iran’s population of 90 million are Persians. The largest minority groups include Azeris, many of whom have long-standing covert ties to the Central Intelligence Agency, Kurds, Arabs, and Baluchis. Jews make up a small minority group there, too. (Azerbaijan is the site of a large secret CIA base for operations in Iran.)

Bringing back the shah’s son, now living in exile in near Washington, has never been considered by the American and Israeli planners, I was told. But there has been talk among the White House planning group that includes Vice President J.D. Vance, of installing a moderate religious leader to run the country if Khamenei is deposed. The Israelis bitterly objected to the idea. “They don’t give a shit on the religious issue, but demand a political puppet to control,” the longtime US official said. “We are split with the Izzies on this. Result would be permanent hostility and future conflict in perpetuity, Bibi desperately trying to draw US in as their ally against all things Muslim, using the plight of the citizens as propaganda bait.”

There is the hope in the American and Israeli intelligence communities, I was told, that elements of the Azeri community will join in a popular revolt against the ruling regime, should one develop during the continued Israeli bombing. There also is the thought that some members of the Revolutionary Guard would join in what I was told might be “a democratic uprising against the ayatollahs”—a long-held aspiration of the US government. The sudden and successful overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in Syria was cited as a potential model, although Assad’s demise came after a long civil war.

It is possible that the result of the massive Israeli and US bombing attack could leave Iran in a state of permanent failure, as happened after the Western intervention in Libya in 2011. That revolt resulted in the brutal murder of Muammar Gaddafi, who had kept the disparate tribes there under control. The futures of Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, all victims of repeated outside attacks, are far from settled.

Donald Trump clearly wants an international win he can market. To accomplish that, he and Netanyahu are taking America to places it has never been.

I try to organise my data in the cleanest way possible, with the less double possible etc... I end up using a lot of symbolic links. When doing maintenance, sometimes I want to navigate in the "unlogical" way the data are organized, but the PWD variable is not necessarily very cooperative. This alias is really useful in my case :
alias realwd='cd -P .'  

Here is an example :
$ echo $PWD  
/home/me  
$ cd Videos/Torrents/  
$ echo $PWD  
/home/me/Videos/Torrents  
$ realwd  
$ echo $PWD  
/home/me/data/Torrents/Video  

I also do some X application, compositor and WM development, and I have a few aliases to simplify tasks like copying from an Xorg session to an Xnest (and the other way around), or reload the xrandr command from my .xinitrc without duplicating it.
alias screenconf='$(grep -o "xrandr[^&]*" ~/.xinitrc)'  
alias clip2xnext='xclip -selection clip -o -display :0 | xclip -selection clip -i -display :1'  
alias clip2xorg='xclip -selection clip -o -display :1 | xclip -selection clip -i -display :0'  

I have an alias for using MPV+yt-dlp with my firefox cookies :
alias yt="mpv --ytdl-raw-options='cookies-from-browser=firefox'"  

I can't stand too long lines of text on my monitor, particularly when reading manpages, so I set the MANWIDTH env variable.
# Note : if you know that *sometimes* your terminal will be smaller than 80 characters  
# refer to that https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Man_page  
export MANWIDTH=80  

I use null-pointers a lot, with a shorthand.
# Note: env.sh actually provide other helpful aliases on their homepage  
function envs.sh() {  
    if [ $# != 1 ]; then  
        1>&2 printf "Error, need one argument.\n"  
        return 1  
    fi  
    curl -F'file=@'"$1" https://envs.sh  
}  

The usual fake editor in my path, so that browsers and other applications open Vim the correct way.
\#!/bin/sh  
# st_vim.sh - executable in my ~/.local/bin  
# for example in firefox's about:config :  
#   - view_source.editor.path : set to the value of $(which st_vim.sh)  
#   - view_source.editor.external : set to true  

st -- $EDITOR "$*"  

My .xinitrc is quite classical, I still have this in it (setup for dwm's title bar, people usually install much complicated programs) :
while true; do xsetroot -name "$(date +"%d %H:%M")"; sleep 60; done &  

I also have a lot of stupid scripts for server and desktop maintenance, disks cleaning etc... those are handy but are also very site-specific, let me know if your interested.

Many times throughout my life, what would seem like a reasonably easy question to answer has changed dramatically.

30 years ago you could look at data collection and go there's no way that they could store a meaningful amount of data about everyone.

20 years ago you could look at data collection and go there's no way they could have the contents of every phone call It's just targeted it's not a big deal

We are the point now, where everything you ever wrote or said could be thrown into a model with such unimaginable levels of lossy compression that they could simply ask it if you are the kind of person who is into whatever the future administration deems as unacceptable and deny you access to things. All you need is a fascist regime or a dictatorship installed and all of a sudden anything you ever did can be used as grounds to lock you up.

On a governmental budget it wouldn't even be that expensive and we're just at the beginning of this.

We have seen that governments can change quickly, We know the data collection is affordable and can be permanent.

Certainly some people privacy-minded to the point of compulsion. But I can't say that anyone is wrong to seek extreme levels of privacy based on trends and capabilities.

Fact check: Viral drone video of Gaza destruction is real




Dal 27 al 30 giugno musica e gastronomia nella Sagra del Salame di Turgia a Devesi Di Ciriè (To)


La frazione Devesi di Ciriè si prepara a ospitare l’ottava edizione della Sagra del Salame di Turgia, evento che celebra uno dei prodotti più tipici del Ciriacese e delle Valli di Lanzo: il “Salam ëd Turgia” in piemontese, o “Salàm eud Tueurdji” in francoprovenzale. Si tratta di un salume preparato con carne di vacca, lardo e pancetta suina, aromatizzato con sale, pepe, aglio, vino rosso e spezie, poi insaccato nel budello torto di bovino. “Turgia” in piemontese indica una vacca sterile, ma può riferirsi anche a un esemplare giovane.

Organizzata dalla Pro Loco Dveisin Festareul e patrocinata dalla Città metropolitana di Torino, la manifestazione si terrà da venerdì 27 a lunedì 30 giugno in località Colombari, in occasione della festa patronale di San Pietro Apostolo. Una quattro giorni dedicata al gusto e alla tradizione, dove sarà possibile assaporare il Salame di Turgia in un clima di convivialità, accompagnato da altre specialità locali. La preparazione del salame affonda le radici nella cultura contadina e nelle famiglie che ne tramandano i segreti, rendendolo simbolo di identità e amore per il territorio.

Il programma prevede musica dal vivo, spettacoli e animazioni. Si parte venerdì 27 con l’inaugurazione affidata a Sonia De Castelli, cantante e volto noto della TV. Sabato 28 spazio alla discoteca mobile Energia. Domenica 29 salirà sul palco Luca Giordano, mentre lunedì 30 chiusura con l’orchestra Enrico Negro. Durante la sagra ci saranno anche momenti divertenti, come il Chupito San Peru e la gara di tiro alla fune domenicale.

Yes, but more specifically the stage of capitalism known as imperialism. Imperialism is the economic inevitability of late-stage capitalist countries, which includes the export of capital and the division of the world along imperialist lines. The US Empire is the current world hegemon, but imperialism also has forces that work against its existence in the imperialized countries, which is accelerating the decline of the US.

"The federal government had promised JJ a $200,000 grant, spread across two years, to cover the cost of a seasonal farmhand from Latin America. In a place where local, legal help was nearly impossible to keep, the extra worker would give him the freedom to handle more jobs and invest in his own equipment. It was an opportunity that could transform his family’s future, but, JJ explained to his friend, President Donald Trump had frozen the money."
