Any union that primarily raids other union locals is not a part of the labor movement, it’s just a cartel of dues burglars who leech of real organizing. That’s also true of staff unions that push decerts of existing units, particularly when they do so by lying to and confusing people to get cards.

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died
Has anyone in the Epstein Files who didn’t do anything wrong been punished? Maybe someone who was at a meeting Epstein was at. Never went to the island, didn’t get money from him, nor had a bunch of friendly emails.
Anyone get arrested, fired, etc.? Because moral panics feature that sort of thing.

I hope she does it just so the ruling class has convulsions and continues to clarify who they are
AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand
it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

It’s so wild that there was an attempted coup and the Democrats are so “incompetent” that they couldn’t jail the guy responsible even though they were in possession of troves of documents showing he’s a pedo.
The main outcome of this was a wave of WE LOVE COPS propaganda & Dems abandoning BLM.

Things will have to get much worse but these people literally were in the Capitol during an attempted coup and then went back to normal behavior not long after.
They have to think the system is trying to kill them too and they somehow don’t yet.
Insanity bubble of DC politics.

This is all true but when I have doomerism, it’s from the knowledge that this party — aside from a small minority — is corrupt, ideologically compromised, and will resist with all its will to do what is actually necessary
When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

it’s breathtaking to see how this country is in decline by every possible metric
Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.
