This is what I need folks outside the US to remember when they blast Americans “not doing anything” online. There’s lots of excellent people resisting in every way they can but our opposition wants violence. They want any reason to turn on us. Economic resistance is slow but it’s the best way rn.
HAPPENING NOW — “The Trump admin is following a playbook: cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem like peaceful protesters are a mob by firing pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act."

TLDR: I was today years old when I learned that during recessions, wage discrimination gets worse for all Black workers, ESPECIALLY Black professionals.
AND white men are crowded out of riskier jobs and even if they find themselves in those types jobs, they make more than everyone else. 🤷🏿♀️ #blacksky

Because our field treats depravity and inhumanity as professionalism.

if being part of the union does not entitle you to any of the benefits of the union, we do not, in any real sense, have a union
President Trump has so far withheld federal relief funds, with many arguing that California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in the deep-blue state have mishandled the fires and should be forced to rescind liberal policies in exchange for aid.
