A meditation on power, solidarity, consequence, and choice. There's divination and sisterhood.

“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

I know things are bad in terms of recontracting at university but I have a friend that lives locally and teaches on sociology in #Edinburgh and needs work next semester. He's had a position as senior tutor. He knows what he's doing and is very professional. Any job leads on teaching?

Attention, UK:
"That should mean more job openings for U.S.-born workers, right? Wrong. Over the same period, employers announced more than 946,000 job cuts — the highest year-to-date total since 2020 — while hiring plans have fallen to a 14-year low."

NEW: The Trump administration's brutal removal of so many workers is projected to shrink the nation’s GDP by as much as 6.8% — a deeper hit than the one sustained during the Great Recession.
