I’m thrilled to welcome the @pwhlpa.bsky.social to the @aflcio.org as our 65th union!
Women’s hockey players are inspiring a new generation and building power on and off the ice. America’s unions are stronger with the PWHLPA in our union family. bit.ly/4lkwBis
pretty confident that if our own government bombed, say, Philadelphia, we'd just kind forget about it after a couple more Rocky movies
Killing a bunch of elementary school girls to distract from having raped a bunch of middle- and high-school girls is pretty fucking grim.
TRANS HERO SAVES DROWNING BABY
This story should be everywhere.
I'm imagining an instructor somewhere making a syllabus with chat gpt, assigning reading from books that don't exist
But the students don't notice, because they are asking chat gpt to summarize the book or write the essay
If you’re accepting assignments via Canvas, you’re facilitating cheating & betraying students who want to learn.
Accommodations matter; good ones don’t feed AI.
“But it’s more work!”
Yes, resisting fascism—AI is a component—is harder than looking the other way.
But it does it quickly and congratulates you for asking
One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
I realized that a lot of the guys who have been found in the Epstein files are probably really struggling because the guy they would have gone to for advice about being discovered in the Epstein files was JEFFREY EPSTEIN
We CAN use the masters tools a little bit, as a treat, to tear down the master’s house.
Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds
insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.
legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards
Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it
I’ve harped on this for years but the reason there’s a seemingly (or at least relatively) “low” amount of corruption in US politics is because we’ve legalized all of it.
Graham objected to unanimous consent.
And he blocked the business of the Senate.
Any Senate Democrat could do this.
Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.
there are people going out in the freezing cold and literally putting their lives on the line in defense of their communities and the multicultural secular society they believe in. not interested in what some online wannabe dnc consultant type wants to tell me what is and isn't possible now
One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
no amount of screaming Don’t Build The Torment Nexus is gonna stop them from building the Torment Nexus. so we have one option which is “Make it extremely shameful and socially costly to voluntarily use these devices”
It’s in part YOUR FUCKING FAULT THAT THERE ARE NO FUCKING OB/GYNS IN ALABAMA!
WE SHOULD NOT NEED ROBOTS AND AI TO PROVIDE MFM CARE, GODDAMNIT!
This week, I spoke with a St. Paul woman who told me ICE came to her door and asked her to report on her "Asian neighbors."
The Hmong community, the large majority of whom are in this country legally for decades now, is in hiding.

This is Minneapolis:
-drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents
-go to brunch with your wife
-get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt
-get groceries as helicopters roar overhead
-deliver food & this vehicle passes you
ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.
I WANT LEADERS AS ANGRY AS WE ARE
