When you factor in just how many incarcerated people including children have disabilities like ADHD and autism and MI and IDs and are Black or brown or indigenous, it really becomes hard not to describe the facilities of cages they're locked in as "death camps built for genocide of undesirables"

The most dangerous jobs in America remain… fishing and logging
Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.
And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

Most translation funding still goes to bestsellers or colonial languages.
This campaign shifts that balance by supporting translations from under-represented languages, like Shona, Nishinaabemowin, Ukrainian, Malay, Hausa, isiZulu, Tamil, Thai, Brazilian Portuguese, and more.

You know things are bad when the WSJ puts it this plainly:
"The rewards are going toward capital instead of labor. Profits have soared since the pandemic, and the market value attached to those profits even more. The result: Capital is triumphant, while the average worker ekes out marginal gains."

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.
This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

Bad Bunny’s halftime show reminded me of Zohran Mamdani. Asking myself why, I think it’s because they both embody the power of pride of place—especially in contrast to the ethnonationalisic pride displayed by the far-right.

Here's a weird etymological convergence:
both of these plants are called "plantains."
-Plantago major, 'broadleaf plantain', an herb that grows as a weed in soil all over Europe.
-'Musa × paradisiaca', the 'African plantain', which is a relative to the banana, but larger & starchier/less sweet.

And, as always, the heartbreaking part is that I WANT this to work. I'm not doing job protectionism here; healthcare workers need all the help we can get. A robot that could emulate a doctor who has unlimited time for every patient would be a lifesaver!
I hope someone invents one someday.
