In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we're doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff. Please consider a tax-deductible donation.
With little sign that the genocide in Gaza is abating, dockworkers in Italy’s major port cities have taken matters into their own hands. Organizing strikes and mass demonstrations, they are moving to block the shipment of arms to Israel — a direct rebuke to the paralysis and complicity of governments and international institutions that have failed to confront the slaughter.
While the devastation continues, these workers are offering something rare: material resistance. By leveraging their strategic position in the global supply chain, they are demonstrating how labor power can be wielded against war and occupation.
The question now is whether this “Italian way” — rooted in solidarity and industrial action — will spread across the imperial core. Can dockworkers and unions elsewhere follow suit? And if they do, could coordinated disruption help bring an end to the genocide?
At a moment when corporate media narrows debate and sanitizes power, the partnership between Chris Hedges’ Report on Substack and ScheerPost stands as a model for independent journalism rooted in moral clarity and public accountability.
Hedges’ reporting and essays — uncompromising in their critique of militarism, corporate dominance, and the erosion of democracy — find a natural home among ScheerPost’s long tradition of adversarial journalism. Together, they amplify investigative work, sharp analysis, and voices too often sidelined by establishment outlets.
This relationship is more than content sharing. It is a shared mission: to challenge empire, expose systems of exploitation, and defend the public’s right to know. Both platforms rely on reader support rather than corporate advertisers, preserving editorial independence and intellectual honesty.
In an age of managed narratives and shrinking press freedom, the collaboration between Chris Hedges’ Report Substack and ScheerPost strengthens a growing ecosystem of independent media — journalism that serves the public, not power.
Editor’s Note: At a moment when the once vaunted model of responsible journalism is overwhelmingly the play thing of self-serving billionaires and their corporate scribes, alternatives of integrity are desperately needed, and ScheerPost is one of them.
