Workers' rights, social justice, all that jazz. If I've blocked you despite not knowing you, it's probably because you were aggressively stupid somewhere.

The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch are the first group of legally licensed sex workers to unionize in U.S. history (!!!). Their new union website states their demands as “safety on the job, better working conditions, and control over their own futures.” unitedbworkers.com

When the CIA did this to the Senate it was one of the biggest intel scandals of the 21st century. But here it’s not just a huge scandal, it’s dumb: Pam Bondi is so bad at her job she brought the evidence herself to an open congressional hearing. www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j...

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it.

“There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

Last night, Trump posted this racist AI-generated video of the Obamas.

Trump's continued attacks on Black and Brown people is an affront to all Americans.

If any other president in history did something so blatantly racist, it would dominate the news cycle for weeks.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Violent settlers in the West Bank are burning Palestinian villages & beating residents with impunity.

These attacks have been met w/ silence from the Trump Admin & Netanyahu govt.

US taxpayers shouldn't be giving the Netanyahu govt an annual $3 billion blank check for weapons.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Not a milestone to celebrate.

California just reported its 500th silicosis case (including 28 deaths, & 54 lung tranplants) among artificial stone workers who make kitchen countertops.

Instead of moving to a safer product, the industry is asking Congress for total immunity from lawsuits.
California Department of Public Health
Welcome to the California Engineered Stone (ES) Silicosis Dashboard. Engineered stone refers to engineered stone countertops, popularly known as “artificial stone” or “quartz countertops.”​ This dashboard contains surveillance data for ES Silicosis cases reported to the state since surveillance began in 2019. Data are updated weekly.
