Did the French First Lady push the president’s face on the tarmac? Sure looked like it. We unpack the wild viral video of Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron and ask: have you ever been caught mid-domestic? From accidental UFC in Crown Hotel rooms to full towel flicks on Labour Day, the whoopings were out in force—and we're living for the drama.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hello friends and comrades, This week's episode of the Radio Reversal podcast features an interview with Dr Jeff Rickertt, renowned People's Historian, for Labour Day 2025. Han speaks with Jeff about histories of labour organising (particularly here in so-called queensland), the early formation of unions, and the tensions and contradictions these movements expressed and revealed regarding race, gender, and colonialism. They spoke also about the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organising, particularly Aboriginal labour strikes as a strategy in anti-colonial struggle, often outside of the systems of mainstream/whitestream organised labour. They explored labour organising as a site of solidarity and transformative politics, discussing some of the recent examples of labour organising against the genocide in Gaza, and how workers have attempted to leverage their collective power to refuse complicity in this genocide. This is part of our ongoing series on Disasters, Crisis & Collective Futures. The polycrisis shapes and reconfigures the nature of work and working conditions; the possibilities of labour organising to contest the crisis conditions of colonial racial capitalism warrant exploration and action. But organised labour movements can also be sites of liberal reform, sites where (some) workers are strategically drawn back into complicity and cooperation with capital in order to ‘stabilise' the crisis without addressing the conditions of exploitation and injustice that (re)produce it. As we face down emboldened fascist movements, growing political repression and overt genocidal violence in Palestine and beyond, we're looking back to think about the long history of workers organising on this continent, its tensions and contradictions, and what we ought to be doing collectively as workers in this moment.A reminder! On Sunday May 18th, 1pm in King George Square, people are gathering in rememberance of the 77th anniversary of the Nakba and to protest the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. Bring your pots, pans, and wooden spoons to protest the deliberate starvation of Gaza by Israel. Make noise, stand together. We'll see you out there.

On the quiet Labour Day weekend of 1972, three masked men executed a daring heist at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Scaling a tree and slipping through a skylight under repair, they descended into the museum, subdued the guards, and made off with 18 paintings and 39 pieces of jewelry—valued at $2 million at the time, making it the largest art theft in Canadian history.Among the stolen works was a rare Rembrandt landscape, along with pieces by Delacroix, Rubens, and Millet.Despite ransom negotiations and extensive investigations, only two items have ever been recovered, and the culprits remain unidentified.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

Hello friends & comrades,Welcome to another episode of the Radio Reversal podcast, continuing our current series on crisis, disaster & collective futures. This week, we're turning our attention to the recent federal election here in so-called australia. Last Saturday, roughly 1 in 3 people voted Labor, 1 in 3 voted Liberal/National, and 1 in 3 voted for someone else.Has anything changed?With the centre-right-wing Labor party now dominant nationally, what lessons should we take from this election? Is running for elections still worth the time for those of seeking deeper radical change? Where should we all be putting our energy?In this episode, we talk through some of the initial results from the election, and what we might be able to learn from these trends. With help from Mununjahli and South Sea Islander Professor Chelsea Watego's new “Let's Talk Race on the Run” series, we debunk the unhinged-from-reality narrative that this election constituted a “progressive” victory against Trumpism, and work to contextualise the election results in the context of the broader waves of repression that we're seeing in this moment. We wade through the mixed results that we saw for the Greens in this election: minor swings against the party in the lower house, an increase in the Senate vote, and some absolutely massive swings towards some key candidates, including our dear friend Remah Naji in Moreton, and Huong Trang in the seat of Fraser. Notably, both of these candidates ran on explicitly pro-Palestine platforms, and both Remah and Huong are actively involved in activism and community organising beyond the Greens. Both the Moreton campaign and the Fraser campaign drew explicit connections in their campaigns between racial justice, environmental justice, housing justice, and anti-colonial solidarity, focusing more directly on discussions around refugee justice, Palestinian liberation, and Land Back for First Nations communities on this continent. Perhaps not coincidentally, Remah & Huong are both the children of refugees: Remah's family were displaced from Palestine during the 1948 Nakba and she grew up as part of the Palestinian diaspora in Jordan; Huong grew up in the seat of Fraser and describes herself as “the daughter of Vietnamese boat people.” Both Remah & Huong saw significant swings towards them, particularly in the most racially and culturally diverse and working class parts of their electorates. But beyond these interesting shifts in voting patterns, and the rise in the Greens vote in outer suburban, less wealthy, more culturally diverse parts of the city: we also spend some time in this episode coming to grips with the loss of local Greens representatives Max Chandler-Mather in Griffith, and Stephen Bates in Brisbane, as well as party leader Adam Bandt, who is now confirmed to have lost the seat of Melbourne. As the only major political party that has been consistently outspoken on the genocide in Gaza, it should have come as no surprise to any of us to see the forces of Zionist repression at work in a coordinated smear campaign against the Greens in this election: one which sought to position the Greens as, to quote LNP Senator James McGrath on the ABCs election night panel, “a disgusting, racist, antisemitic party full of horrible people.” The scale of scare-campaigning against the Greens was unprecedented in this election, with record amounts of money spent by the property sector, the fossil fuel industry and the zionist lobby. You can see some more targeted commentary on this by Jonathan Sriranganathan in this excellent piece, and in these reflections from the wonderful Omar Sakr. We reflect on what the scale of campaigning against the Greens in this election - and in the specific context of an ongoing genocide in Palestine - might tell us about the danger that any kind of anti-colonial solidarity (or perceived solidarity) poses to the political establishment. We reflect on Dr. Jamal Nabulsi's argument that the scale of violence and repression that we are witnessing in this moment is a direct response to the very real threat that anti-colonial solidarity poses to the settler colonial order. But we also think about the very real limits of electoralism as a standalone vehicle for transformation: if nothing else, the scale of this negative campaigning has laid bare the impossibility of outperforming these powerful forces while we're still trying to win “on their terms”. So - what does this all mean for what's to come? We end this episode with a generative reminder from local organiser Bec from the Community Union Defence League who are right now organising eviction defence, food support and mutual aid for folks sleeping rough in Musgrave Park. In case you missed it, the Lord Mayor, Adrian Schrinner, announced a couple of weeks ago that they planned to forcefully evict all homeless people from parks across the city on the grounds of “community safety” and “public accessibility”, despite the fact that no suitable housing could be provided to folks sleeping rough. I doubt that it is a coincidence that they decided to move ahead with the evictions only a few days after the federal election, perhaps in the hope that many organisers would be burnt out from the long election campaign. What they didn't bank on was the scale of popular opposition to these evictions, and this week we've seen inspiring solidarity with hundreds turning out early each morning to support folks facing move-on directions, to challenge these evictions, and to refuse to allow this violence to go uncontested. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts, criticisms and questions - please do get in touch! And stay tuned for our next few episodes, digging into labour struggles during times of crisis (in honour of Labour Day last week!), and pulling apart the ongoing discourse of “gender crisis” being circulated in right-wing media and its role in whipping up a moral panic about trans liberation and queer justice. Yours in solidarity,The Radio Reversal Collective(Artwork by Anna Carlson for the Anti-Poverty Network & Community Union Defence League for the current struggle for housing justice in Magan-djin.

pWotD Episode 2921: International Workers' Day Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 207,031 views on Thursday, 1 May 2025 our article of the day is International Workers' Day.International Workers' Day, also called Labour Day in some countries and often referred to as May Day, is a celebration of labourers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labour movement and occurs every year on 1 May, or the first Monday in May.Traditionally, 1 May is the date of the European spring festival of May Day. The International Workers Congress held in Paris in 1889 established the Second International for labor, socialist, and Marxist parties. It adopted a resolution for a "great international demonstration" in support of working-class demands for the eight-hour day. The date was chosen by the American Federation of Labor to commemorate a general strike in the United States, which had begun on 1 May 1886 and culminated in the Haymarket affair on 4 May. The demonstration subsequently became a yearly event. The 1904 Sixth Conference of the Second International, called on "all Social Democratic Party organisations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on the First of May for the legal establishment of the eight-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace".The 1st of May, or first Monday in May, is a national public holiday in many countries, in most cases known as "International Workers' Day" or a similar name. Some countries celebrate a Labour Day on other dates significant to them, such as the United States and Canada, which celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday of September. In 1955, the Catholic Church dedicated 1 May to "Saint Joseph the Worker". Saint Joseph is the patron saint of workers and craftsmen, among others.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:01 UTC on Friday, 2 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see International Workers' Day on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.

In this episode, Robbie and Carly discuss the significance of Labor Day and the joys of long weekends. They delve into the importance of sleep with expert Tash Duffin, covering sleep hygiene and tips for better rest. The conversation shifts to car troubles, particularly dealing with unpleasant odors in vehicles. Finally, they wrap up with streaming recommendations, including a new series featuring Robert De Niro and a controversial documentary about Meghan Markle. Labor Day celebrates the contributions of workers. Sleep hygiene is essential for overall health. Avoiding blue light before bed can improve sleep quality. Mouth taping should be approached with caution. Public holidays can be busy for hospitality workers. A good night's sleep typically requires 7-8 hours. Setting a sleep schedule can help prioritize rest. Car maintenance is important for a pleasant driving experience. Streaming mini-series can be a great way to spend a long weekend. Controversial figures often attract viewership, regardless of public opinion. 00:00 Labor Day and Long Weekends02:12 The Importance of Sleep07:19 Car Troubles and Smells11:06 Streaming Recommendations and ReviewsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
2024 was a bit of a rough year, with job losses, hard economic times, and low business confidence. The new year offers a chance to reset. Dr Dougal Sutherland offers his top tips for starting 2025 off with some oomph: If you have a job, count your blessings! Lots of people lost theirs last year and so it's important to remember that even though it may not be the best job in the world, at least you're in paid employment! Plan out your holidays for the year as best you can. Have a look for the public holidays that are happening in 2025, can you make any of these into longer weekends (e.g. four days instead of three) and give yourself that extra time to rest and recover? Looking ahead I can see there is quite a gap of public holidays between Matariki and Labour Day – can you plan for some leave then? Four months is a long time to go without a break, especially in winter. Make a daily ‘Have to, Hope to, Love to list' – “Have to” are things you must do today; “Hope to” are things that you can do if you have time; “Love to” is at least 1 thing per day that fills your cup – make sure to give this as much priority as “Have to”. Take some time to reflect on 2024 – what did you learn from the year? What went well and you would like to keep doing? Anything that you would like to avoid doing again that you did last year? Think about the people in your life – are there some who you would like to see more of? Can you plan ahead to make time for them? On the other hand, is there anyone who it may be better off not to have in your life? Are there some (polite) ways that you ease off these relationships?

Move over, first class passengers on the Titanic! America has a new class of doomed elites! Extreme income inequality threatens our democracy and the security of the world, but unions are fighting back, showing our path forward for the safety of everyone. C.E.O.s and billionaires celebrate record-breaking profits, but for everyday workers, wages have remained stagnant, not keeping pace with the rising cost of living. The result? The American Dream is increasingly resembling a Neoliberal Ponzi Scheme, where the promise of prosperity seems to be reserved for nepo-babies. Beyond the obvious moral implications, income inequality has profound consequences for our society. It undermines trust in institutions, worsens political instability, and contributes to declining life expectancy—a stark reality in America today. When the rich get richer and the rest of us get left behind, it doesn't just create social rifts; it destabilizes the United States, and therefore the world. How do we overcome this crisis? The renaissance of unions will strengthen our economy for all and protect our democracy. This week's guest Michael Podhorzer has been on the frontlines of this fight for decades, as the former longtime political director of the AFL-CIO – the largest federation of unions in the United States. Podhorzer is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, the chair of the Analyst Institute, the Research Collaborative and the Defend Democracy Project, and writes the Substack Weekend Reading. A 2021 TIME article described Podhorzer as the architect of a broad movement that helped protect the integrity of our vote in the 2020 election. This week's bonus show, available to subscribers at the Truth-teller level ($5/month) and higher, includes Podhorzer's insights on how to protect the 2024 election, in an excerpt available to all. Exclusive to our Patreon supporters, this week's bonus show also includes a deep-dive examination of the recent arrest of Telegram's C.E.O.

La fête du travail américaine marque traditionnellement le début des choses sérieuses pour les candidats à la Maison Blanche. Le Journal d'Haïti et des Amériques vous fixe un nouveau rendez-vous chaque semaine jusqu'à la présidentielle du 5 novembre aux États-Unis : tous les mardis, l'un de nos correspondants sur le sol américain revient sur l'actualité de la campagne.Guillaume Naudin ouvre le bal aujourd'hui avec le compte-rendu de deux déplacements importants côté démocrate : le premier à Detroit, dans le Michigan, la capitale de l'industrie automobile. Ces États-là, où le vote ouvrier compte, il faut que Kamala Harris les gagne si elle veut être élue. Et pour cela, elle doit s'adresser à un public qui n'est pas automatiquement convaincu par son profil de juriste californienne. Kamala Harris, en ce jour de fête du travail, s'est donc adressée à des syndicalistes, pour leur dire qu'elle partage leurs valeurs depuis toujours : « Beaucoup d'entre vous savent que mes parents se sont rencontrés pendant qu'ils militaient dans le mouvement pour les droits civiques. Quand j'étais petite, ma mère m'emmenait dans des réunions et dans des manifestations dans ma poussette. Très jeune, j'ai appris que, quand les gens sont ensemble, quand nous parlons ensemble, sachant que la grande majorité d'entre nous avons tellement plus qui nous réunit que ce qui nous sépare, quand nous parlons ensemble, nous pouvons faire des changements extraordinaires. »Deuxième étape : la Pennsylvanie, à Pittsburgh, région très industrielle là aussi où elle a tenu sensiblement le même discours, sauf qu'elle n'était pas seule : Joe Biden a mis fin à ses vacances pour lui apporter son soutien, comme il l'avait promis lors de la Convention démocrate. Un Joe Biden qui a envie d'en découdre et qui, malgré les doutes sur ses capacités physiques et cognitives, va mettre ce qui lui reste d'énergie au service de Kamala Harris.Quant à Donald Trump, il s'est fait discret, pas de déplacement hier. La controverse autour de son déplacement de campagne au cimetière national d'Arlington continue de le poursuivre, et pour éteindre l'incendie, la campagne Trump a donné la parole aux familles qui avaient convié l'ancien président républicain sur ce terrain sensible. Comme Mark Schmitz, père d'un des soldats tués en Afghanistan, qui s'adresse directement à la vice-présidente, sans concession : « Pourquoi nous voulions que Trump soit là ? Ce n'était pas pour l'aider dans sa campagne politique. Nous voulions un dirigeant. Cela explique pourquoi vous et Joe n'avez pas reçu d'appel. Imaginez une seconde que votre enfant soit tué. Et il y a un président des États-Unis qui veut vous prendre sous son aile et vous écouter. C'est ce que nous avons trouvé avec le président Trump. Certainement pas avec vous et certainement pas avec Joe Biden. »Le Falcon de Maduro sous la coupe de WashingtonLes États-Unis ont mis la main sur un avion considéré comme la monture de Nicolas Maduro, un Falcon 900EX, un appareil de chez Dassault, de fabrication française, capable d'accueillir entre 10 et 15 passagers.Qui dit aviation dit maintenance, et lorsqu'il a fallu bricoler ce Falcon, les autorités vénézuéliennes l'ont envoyé en Républicaine Dominicaine. Mauvaise idée : le ministère américain de la Justice a demandé sa saisie, Saint-Domingue a coopéré, et le coucou dort désormais en Floride, loin de Caracas.Le fondement juridique de tout ça ? Washington a découvert que ce Falcon avait été acheté aux États-Unis, pour 13 millions de dollars, par une société-écran basée aux Caraïbes. Puis, d'après le procureur général, sorti de manière clandestine jusqu'au Venezuela, pour servir de véhicule à Maduro et à son entourage. L'administration Biden y voit une violation du décret pris par Donald Trump en 2019 qui a radicalement restreint le commerce entre le Venezuela et des entités américaines.Coup de pression électoralNicolas Maduro n'ayant toujours pas produit les preuves de sa victoire à la présidentielle, le New York Times y voit un geste de mauvaise humeur de la Maison Blanche, et le mandat d'arrêt émis contre Edmundo González Urrutia par la justice vénézuélienne ne va rien arranger. Le candidat de l'opposition, qui affirme lui aussi avoir gagné le scrutin, est désormais recherché sur ordre d'un tribunal anti-terroriste pour usurpation de fonction, contrefaçon de documents publics, conspiration, sabotage de données électroniques et association de malfaiteurs. Huit pays de la région, souligne Tal Cual, ont déjà condamné ce mandat d'arrêt, qu'ils assimilent à une mesure de persécution politique.Le dossier d'Achim Lippold, consacré à l'explosion du trafic de cocaïne entre le Brésil et l'AfriqueAvec le sociologue Gabriel Feltran, professeur à Sciences Po Paris et directeur de recherche au CNRS, plongée dans les griffes de la Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), la plus grande organisation criminelle brésilienne. Coordinateur du rapport de l'ONG Global Initiative, le professeur Feltran décrit les mécanismes de la chaîne d'approvisionnement d'un réseau devenu multinational, présent et influent sur les cinq continents grâce à ses alliances avec d'autres acteurs majeurs de la criminalité internationale, notamment la 'Ndrangheta (mafia calabraise) et les réseaux criminels mexicains, colombiens, russes et africains. « Le Brésil, note le rapport, joue désormais un rôle prépondérant et croissant dans la logistique du trafic de cocaïne latino-américain via l'Afrique de l'Ouest, le PCC jouant un rôle central de coordinateur (à l'instar du Mexique qui contrôle l'entrée de la cocaïne aux États-Unis). »Le satisfecit de la police dans la capitale haïtienneLa Police nationale haïtienne (PNH) se félicite des opérations menées par les forces de l'ordre dans plusieurs quartiers de Port-au-Prince depuis la semaine dernière, à Bel-Air, Solino ou Fort-National. Les policiers affirment avoir repris du terrain, sans bilan précis, mais relatent que plusieurs bandits ont été tués, des armes à feu saisies et plusieurs interpellations réalisées, selon le porte-parole de la PNH hier en conférence de presse. Opération d'envergure menée depuis une semaine, grâce à la coopération entre trois entités : la PNH, l'armée et la MMAS, la Mission multinationale d'appui à la sécurité.À noter et à lire dans Le Nouvelliste : l'extension de l'état d'urgence sécuritaire à l'ensemble du territoire haïtien. Il était cantonné jusqu'ici aux départements de l'Ouest et de l'Artibonite, mais cela permettra à l'avenir, selon les sources du Nouvelliste, « de prendre des décisions qui concernent tout le pays au lieu de ces deux départements ».L'actualité des Outre-mer avec nos confrères de la 1èreCoupures intempestives, mauvaise qualité au robinet : en Guadeloupe, les problèmes d'eau encore et toujours d'actualité.

We continue our summertime trend of posting listicles on holidays as we exchange 10 (or perhaps a few more) theatrical experiences that stuck with us. Many of these are about laughing at funny movies with enthusiastic audiences, but sometimes the experience was seat-grippingly scary...or it might have even been an angry time at the flicks. Documentary festivals and just being in legendary theatres were themes too. So labour through our mere 30-minute chat about (mostly) excellent times we've had watching stuff in rooms with other people in this 607th edition of Have You Ever Seen.

Hey, hey beautiful mama! Can you believe it? The end of summer is sneaking up on us, and I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a mix of “finally, some structure!” and “where did the time go?” As we bid farewell to lazy beach days, endless popsicles, and the sweet, sweet chaos that is summer, it's time to start thinking about getting back into the swing of things with school, routines, and (dare I say it?) meal planning. But don't worry, we're wrapping up summer with a bang and making sure you're all set for the Labour Day long weekend. End music Let's dive into a week of family-friendly meals that celebrate the best of summer, with a little bonus at the end to help you make the most of the upcoming long weekend!

These drumsticks are finger-licking good and perfect for an outdoor feast. - **Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad:** Fresh grilled corn tossed with creamy avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a zesty lime dressing. This salad is vibrant, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with those sticky drumsticks. - **Loaded Baked Potato Salad:** A twist on the classic, this potato salad is loaded with crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and a creamy dressing. It's like a loaded baked potato but in salad form—comforting and indulgent. - **Garlic Butter Green Beans:** Fresh green beans sautéed in garlic butter until tender-crisp, with a sprinkle of parmesan on top. This simple side dish is packed with flavor and adds a healthy balance to the meal. - **Strawberry Shortcake Trifles:** Layers of buttery shortcake, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream, served in individual jars or cups. It's a light, summery dessert that's as fun to eat as it is to make.
