Americans favor labor unions over big business now more than ever, analysis of new data @epi.org from me & Adam Reich of Columbia Labor Lab.
In data back 60 years, Americans' sentiments are both warmer toward unions & cooler towards big business than ever before.

gonna tap the sign again: COMMITTING violence against oppressors is between you and your conscience. But PUBLICLY TALKING ABOUT committing violence is very stupid and endangers you AND people close to you. Opsec is very important!
Every person on Bluesky should know:
* Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever
* Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies
* Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured
* Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

criminalization is the mechanism by which the state/cops/people in power can harm and disappear Black, brown, trans and queer, poor, etc. people—and the reality is that who and what is is considered “criminal” is constructed, and can always shift.

we need to be saying again and again and again that even if 100% of these people had a criminal record none of this would be okay. people who are criminalized are humans and deserve human rights. people are systematically criminalized based solely on the color of their skin, poverty, language etc

this is, more or less, tikkun olam: the work of healing the world.
we are not obligated to complete the work, and neither are we free to abandon it.
our lives’ purpose is to do what we are able to make things better for others, and to find joy in doing so.

I think a lot (too much) about the purpose of existence, and the conclusion I’ve come to in my 30 something years on this planet is that the purpose of existence is service to your community, and being privileged means that you have an amazing opportunity to live a life of service to others

When people say "safe," they really mean "I don't want to see homeless people."
Just a heads-up, you're going to see a lot of credentialed liberals on here telling you that if you want to beat Trump, you have to agree with him that cities are hellholes of "chaos" that must be made "livable."
Trying to slipstream with fascism is no way to beat fascism.
