The whole kafkaesque nature of this proceeding would be interesting, if it were not for people being denied due process for selling tamales.

My job as a professor is not to create a serviceable worker. My job is to help foster thoughtful citizens or community members.

If that sounds fanciful it’s bc corporate interests have spent decades framing how we talk about education so they don’t take the heat for immiserating labor conditions.

Do not accept the premise that education is to blame for abysmal jobs outcomes.

“The fantasy economy's framing of economic inequality… focuses exclusively on education…deflects attention away from decades of public policies and changing business practices that have…contributed to stagnating wages”

Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.

A regular reminder that a thriving modern city depends on giving people the option to walk, or bike, or take the bus. Not cars.

Een herinnering dat een bloeiende multimodale stad afhankelijk is van de mogelijkheid voor mensen om te lopen, te fietsen en de bus te nemen. Niet van auto's.

there is no one look.

88 yrs ago today, Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) died in fascist imprisonment, begun in 1926. A co-founder of the PCI, he and other communists and socialists became the first bulwarks against fascism. @chicagosocialistalternative @chicagocommunists @casagramsci @centrogramsci @af_gramsci
The verticle tombstone of Gramsci - it’s an off-white stone with his last name carved. There’s a square stone box at the foot of the upright stone with his full name and birth/death dates inscribed.
