In New Jersey, 25% of Black adults are barred from ever serving on a jury.

“We’re whitewashing a space that’s disproportionately affecting Black and brown communities,” said one lawyer. “Which calls into question: who is getting a jury of one’s peers?”

To pull from Adorno this is the very basis of fascism. It's a system that always needs something to lash out at even if you control everything. It's inherently an empty meaningless maw of our group violence
It’s absolutely bonkers that these people are still banging on about bathrooms. You won. You control everything. You’re going to have the worst government in American history, doing the stupidest possible nonsense, just as you dreamed. And yet it’s still just nonstop grievance from them. Good grief.

Dear Editors — If you’re considering publishing an article about issues related to transgender people, then perhaps you should consider assigning that article to a transgender journalist. Don’t have any transgender journalists in your newsroom?

@transjournalists.org has several valuable resources:
Trans Journalists Association
Promoting more accurate, nuanced coverage of trans issues and communities in the media. Supporting gender-expansive journalists in their careers.

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

This is likely part of a general phasing out of products related to the proprietary Lightning port, which was used in many Apple devices for years but has been replaced by USB-C in all of the company's major offerings.
Apple’s headphone adapter for older iPhones sells out, possibly never to return
The end of Lightning is nigh. It’s a bummer for folks with older phones, though.

There’s a lot of reasons to learn labor history, one big one is that many of us have never lived in a time of real worker power, or seen it exercised. We’ve never seen a general strike shut down our city and bring bosses to their knees. But it’s happened before and it will happen again.

I just wanna point out that the existence of the NLRB and labor unions is the “moderate compromise” option and prior to that things like “running gun battles in the street” and “burning the boss’s house down with everyone in it” were on the table as negotiating tactics

the thing about being a political junkie is you have extremely difficult time conceptualizing how someone could be totally ignorant of politics but i would strongly encourage you to imagine the kind of person who googled “did biden drop out?” on november 4th and then cast a ballot on november 5th
