The Luddites weren't anti-progress. They weren't anti-technology. They were pro worker rights. And it's convenient for the tech barons (in any age) to make us believe those are the same thing.

ok so the sports complex expanded multiple times, all in violation of the constitution, and we should vote to make their actions legal because they definitely promise to never do it again, or what?
Major upgrades and expansion of the facilities at Mount Van Hoevenberg Winter Sports Complex have already taken place over the years, most recently in advance of the 2023 World University Games, that were in violation of the “forever wild” clause in Article 14 of the New York State Constitution.

Most of rural Alaska is Alaska Native. Bonus donating to support Alaska Native people on Indigenous Peoples Day.
Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

something i’m not necessarily proud of is i will get actually angry if a bagel spot assumes i want my bagel toasted
One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

👏”You can't beat the mentality that leads to abuse by taking on the abuser's mentality. You can't defeat bad ideas by adopting them. You can't grow a coalition by selling out its members.”
I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Most up-to-date list of “How to Report ICE” zines! If you don’t see your area here, and you have a rapid response deportation defense hotline, put it in the Zine Request form!

There is a Spanish language San Francisco zine, and there are more to come this week.
