Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 28/04/2026This should be a test for all the countries/teams that have qualified for the World Cup. They should all announce a global boycott of the Cup games in the U.S. This bully action by Trump should not be allowed to stand. 010
Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 17/02/2026What Rev. Jackson said to the strikers: “Your protest for dignity has been heard in this hospital and around the country.” Summit’s opposition to sympathy strike rights, he added, was “another case of corporate greed, arrogance and abandonment.” So little has changed today 000
Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Remembering Rev. Jesse Jackson. Civil rights champion, also a great friend of labor. Here, during the historic 1992 Oakland 7-week strike by 5 unions for sympathy strike rights, with RoseAnn DeMoro (r) then collective bargaining director of the California Nurses Association @CalNurses 110

Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Important point via Zaha Hassan- Marwan Barghouti "was on the list to get out in the prisoner exchange, and his name was removed by the Israelis because of this very truth that he could unite Hamas and Fatah and all of the factions and possibly be a bridge from this moment to a political agreement." 010

Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 26/08/2025It's been only 4 days since the CA bill was enacted - and we've already received two glossy pro-Trump mailers to my household. Who are the billionaires behind the secretive "Right Path California?" Why don't they disclose their donors? Do they also oppose the TX gerrymander (duh, no). 000
Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Trump's billionaires, fine with Texas and other red states trying to steal the 2026 mid-terms with mid-decade partisan gerrymandering, will spend hundreds of millions to block California voters from evening the score. This arrived in the mail even before the ink was dry on the CA bill 000
Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 16/08/2025Wait, I thought Trump promised he would reduce the cost of eggs? 000

Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Maybe this banner is still bloating around the White House basement. Trump should resurrect it, and remind us all how successful that claim was 010
Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 15/06/2025If she really wants to "liberate" Los Angeles "from the socialist and burdensome leadership" as she claimed, she should move to California and run for Governor, not act like a tin horn tyrant and sweep into town on the backs of troops. This was the response to her yesterday 030

Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 21/03/2025We need to address gun violence, and all the guns coming into the city, we have to address guns and public safety on a regional basis.

Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I'm old enough to remember when Trump proposed in his first term that rattled pharmaceutical companies: tying drug prices to what other wealthy countries pay. Is this part of his supposed anti-inflation program? 000
Charles Idelson @cidelson.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Biden's last minute clemency for Leonard Peltier. Welcome news! Classic book about why he should have been freed to go home decades ago. 010
