#Cowichan Valley residents adapt to life without #PublicTransit as strike enters 4th month.
#PeopleWithDisabilities , #students & #seniors struggle with the lack of options for #transportation in the Cowichan Valley.
#UniforLocal114 & #UniforLocal333BC the union representing 44 drivers, mechanics& cleaners, have been on strike since Feb. 8. They are advocating for wages similar to their counterparts in Victoria, better access to washroom facilities & more consistent breaks. #Workers have since voted against a new contract with their employer, #TransDev & the strike reaches 105 days, there is still no end in sight. As a result of the strike, #transit in the Cowichan Valley has been on hold, interfering with where and how people move through the community. #HandyDart services are still available but only for medical appointments related to renal dialysis, cancer treatment & multiple sclerosis.
“The FBU just slammed Farage – and Labour – in one fell swoop”
by The Canary @thecanaryuk @UKLabour
“The [UK] Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has warned the Labour government against ‘surrendering to the far right’, describing the rise of the Reform UK party as an ‘imminent threat to workers in the UK’”

For #Marx, the lower phase of #communism marks the /completion /of the
#socialist #revolution. This is the point at which there is no longer a
#capitalist class who may resist #democratic rule, and indeed no #class
divisions at all, hence the point at which the #repressive functions of
the #state are no longer needed and wither away. So whereas #communist or
socialist measures are part of ‘the real movement which abolishes the
present state of things’,38 the lower /phase /of communism is the first
destination. If it is to lead to the lower phase of communism, a
democratic government and a democratised state must make conscious
efforts to get there. That means progressively bringing value production
under #planned, democratic control, for the purposes of meeting #need.
Hence, #value production will recede under a #workers’ state and be
insignificant or non-existent at the point of reaching the lower phase
of communism. [Peter Jones, The Falling Rate of Profit and the Great Recession of 2007–2009, 2021: xxxv]
Για τον Μαρξ, η κατώτερη βαθμίδα του κομμουνισμού σηματοδοτεί την //ολοκλήρωση// της σοσιαλιστικής επανάστασης. Είναι το σημείο στο οποίο δεν υπάρχει πλέον αστική τάξη ικανή να αντισταθεί στην δημοκρατική εξουσία, και στην πραγματικότητα δεν υπάρχουν ταξικές διαιρέσεις καθόλου· άρα είναι και το σημείο όπου οι κατασταλτικές λειτουργίες του κράτους καθίστανται περιττές και σταδιακά μαραζώνουν. Έτσι, ενώ τα κομμουνιστικά ή σοσιαλιστικά μέτρα αποτελούν μέρος του «πραγματικού κινήματος που καταργεί την υπάρχουσα κατάσταση πραγμάτων», η κατώτερη βαθμίδα του κομμουνισμού είναι ο πρώτος σταθμός. Εάν πρόκειται να επιτευχθεί αυτή η βαθμίδα, η δημοκρατική διακυβέρνηση και ένα εκδημοκρατισμένο κράτος πρέπει να καταβάλουν συνειδητές προσπάθειες για την πραγματοποίησή της. Αυτό σημαίνει τη σταδιακή υπαγωγή της παραγωγής αξίας σε σχεδιασμένο, δημοκρατικό έλεγχο, με σκοπό την ικανοποίηση των αναγκών. Κατά συνέπεια, η παραγωγή αξίας θα υποχωρεί υπό ένα εργατικό κράτος και θα είναι αμελητέα ή ανύπαρκτη κατά την επίτευξη της κατώτερης βαθμίδας του κομμουνισμού.
Sharon Graham (Unite) has had it up to here with Labour; if you read her account of their dissembling around the Birmingham bin-workers dispute, you'll not be surprised.
Sadly, Angela Rayner seems not be playing a straight bat, which is disappointing.

Its pretty clear that being 'disadvantaged' either from personal issues (such a social education needs) or the structure/community issues of (local) deprivation & poverty, lead to lower levels of employment.
(Employment is not everything, but in our current society, working *can* be the path out of poverty.)
Focussing on 'basic' qualifications in deprived areas looks a good bet for improving work prospects for the most disadvantaged even if this only part of the answer!

Good news! We've officially added #Cloudflare #Workers support to the #Fedify roadmap. We've created a detailed issue to track our implementation plan: https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/233.
The effort will be tackled in phases, including compatibility assessment, core adaptations for Workers' environment, KV store and message queue implementations, and finally integration with Cloudflare's ecosystem. This will be a substantial project that we'll break down into several sub-issues.
If you're interested in contributing to any specific aspect of Workers support, please comment on the main issue to coordinate efforts.
Well, it's even worse, you get lower quality and human #workers are going to lose more than a job, but their evolutionary biological development skills.
The brain doesn't learn much from automated recursion trash, in the DNA it's muted if not needed. Better learn by reading a book on biology.
#AI is not an invention, it's a data washing machine to award a bunch of business providers. It's not new either, it's basic IT knowledge to gather intel for military purposes.
77 years of nakba: share this video and its 7 demands
Today, we mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba — the planned mass ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinians and destruction of hundreds of Palestinian towns and villages to establish Israel as a settler-colony based on Zionism, Jewish supremacy, and apartheid.
But that colonial project has never stopped. The Nakba isn’t history. It’s now.
Today, Palestinians are facing what Israeli leaders openly call the “Gaza Nakba” — an unprecedented genocide of extermination and forced displacement against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
Only mass, intersectional people power can end this.
So, on the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, watch our video and share 7 urgent demands from Palestinians for meaningful solidarity.

From campuses to city councils, from the streets to the largest trade unions, a global wave of solidarity is rising. Millions of justice activists, artists, workers, students, farmers, and human rights defenders are standing up for Palestinian liberation worldwide. The Palestinian-led BDS movement is reshaping how the world relates to Israel: not as a normal state, but as a regime of genocide and apartheid that must be dismantled to achieve freedom, justice and equality.
