On #TDIH in 1974, nuclear plant worker & labor activist Karen Silkwood died in a mysterious car crash as she was driving to meet a @nytimes.com reporter to expose that the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant was putting workers in unnecessary danger & taking quality control shortcuts.

NEW VIDEO: Thanks to our anti-social social order, many people are struggling with a lack of community in their lives. I believe we can change that. Let's revisit the village of the past, then sketch out a radical vision for the future of community.

I am in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org as they strike for the wages, working conditions, and respect they deserve. Starbucks must put an end to their union busting and negotiate in good faith. #NoContractNoCoffee
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

#MusicHistory On this day, 1987, the Leeds, England, goth-rock / post-punk band The Sisters of Mercy, released their 2nd album Floodland. The singles "This Corrosion", "Dominion", and "Lucretia My Reflection" were released in promotion of this must own 80's goth classic!

While @sbworkersunited.org baristas are on strike, our job is simple: DON’T SHOP AT STARBUCKS!

Starbucks baristas are striking for a fair contract — and we’re standing with them. Show the billionaires that our solidarity is stronger than their greed. #NoContractNoCoffee

The government froze food aid. Tribes are thawing old traditions.

Decades of work to rebuild traditional food systems are paying off, but droughts and funding cuts threaten to unravel the progress.

TURTLE BOT!🐢📖📚
I love when something from one of my books shows up in real life! Like Grade 10 student Evan from Ontario 🇨🇦 who built an eco-monitoring turtle bot!

“Take a moment and look at these numbers.
15% of Michiganders use #SNAP.
Every $1 paid for SNAP benefits generates $1.50 in the economy.
More food purchased from grocery stores.. and on and on.”
