Shocked to learn that despite 1,000 op-eds about how they are now a workers' party, Republicans are doing what they always do when they're in power
We have $ for a dozen ICE agents to hang around for hours trying to arrest 2 roofers working in MN.
Meanwhile, the agency that investigates and prosecutes violations of Americans' right to organize is shedding staff again. Now down to like 1 agency staff per 145,000 workers.

Capitalism needs us to feel bad if we are not in its service.
When we support each other, we weaken capitalism's hold on our imaginations, and capitalists rightly feel threatened.

Most people do all they can to support themselves. People don't want to be mooches. It's just a fact most of us need support from others, but people are socialized not to support each other.

This is nothing but a handout. Nobody cares what the curricular implementation looks like, because the sole purpose is lock-in contracts for EdTech companies (all AI companies are EdTech companies now).
It's hard to overstate how impossible this demand is from Purdue's administration to implement these AI requirements by next fall. We are nowhere close to understanding what AI proficiency means or what it looks like in education.

This is the Jewish-Muslim solidarity I know and treasure. Prayers up for his speedy healing and gratitude for his courage.
The unarmed man who ran towards the shooter, and grabbed his rifle was a Lebanese Muslim and an immigrant to Australia.
As Muslims are so often demonized, worth mentioning that it was a Muslim who rushed to save Jewish lives on Bondi Beach.

Again, even though the Japanese government leading up to 1945 committed terrible atrocities, none of us think that Japanese internment was caused by the Japanese government. It was caused by American racism.
No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.
