You didn't answer the question. How many Palestinian civilians vs how many Israeli citizens have been killed?

Spending your time harassing a woman of color over her correct opinions is probably not a great use of it

I'm not gonna lie a General Strike "organizer" who clearly knows nothing about unions or laws doesn't give me too much faith that this will be successful

Public sector employees are under "right to work" laws because of Janus vs AFSCMEa and we are unionizing at a much faster rate than private workers. And no strike articles do not supercede federal/state laws guaranteeing workers rights to strike if their employer is committing unfair labor practices

In the Bay Area, local prosecutors have charged student protesters who participated in pro-Palestine demonstrations with felony-level charges that critics are warning are setting a dangerous template for law enforcement responses.

I cleared this brain last year with the @lifecanvastech.bsky.social SmartBatch and imaged with their SmartSPIM and I am pretty proud of it. As a computational guy, I was low key shocked that it came out as well as it did on the first try bc I forgot how to pipette

Agreed that it's amazing to see, but it wouldn't have happened without coordinated organizing within and between labor unions and other advocacy groups. People shouldn't expect this level of coordination to happen spontaneously, we should all be organizing our communities and workplaces!

The engagement farming accounts posting flyers for a β€œnational nurse’s strike” with no organization or any contacts named, let alone a strike fund or list of demands, are trying to hurt nurses to build a Bluesky brand.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, β€œIt’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Turns out it requires a fuckload of union-backed, coalition-built, boots-on-the-ground organizing to accomplish rather than a half-assed slogan on the internet (like many folks have mentioned for *years* whenever this exact thing came up)

James thinks the answer to this problem is to tell every American (including the millions who have been in the streets protesting over the last year) to go fuck ourselves, and you agree with him?

Also Americans are throwing our bodies on the line, we're not doing nothing!

This is a definition that has literally nothing to do with working or class.

fwiw these are unionized hotels and their local sent a formal request to employers not to accept ICE bookings or allow ICE to use their facilities www.facebook.com/share/p/1aV9...

The Dem party line has very clearly been that ICE just needs more training. Come back when Schumer or Jeffries starts calling for ICE to be abolished
