The UAW won’t be fighting its next battle alone, either. One of the most interesting aspects of the new UAW tentative agreements at Ford, GM, and Stellantis is that they are all timed to expire on April 30, 2028. If those contracts expire without reaching a satisfactory new deal, the UAW will be ready to strike on May Day, otherwise known as International Workers Day.

What’s more, the UAW hopes it won’t be hitting the picket lines alone. Fain has called on other unions to time their contracts to expire during the same period and “flex [their] collective muscles.” No, you’re not imagining things — the head of a major US labor union is calling on the rest of the movement to come together and start planning a general strike.

    Unlike Vogue, Teen Vogue has been pretty political ever since one of their writers (Lauren Duca, who is pretty cool) argued with Tucker Carlson on his show in 2016.

    It is, surprisingly, one of the better publications to get news and commentary from nowadays, because nobody really expect it.

      I laugh every time I see teenvogue.com under a headline link because it’s not where I’d expect quality but I know it will be. I take it as a sign teens are becoming more politically active, which is the only way progressives win. It makes me just a tiny bit hopeful.
