Yes but it would take years to come to fruition. This is about the end of the postwar bargain between organized labor and industrial capital under conditions of economic crisis and restructuring. The memo is part of the same ideological ferment of this period, though, for sure.

These people should never work in emergency management again. Ever.

Somehow the fact these lovely people were subjected to this shameful, racist treatment at *Faneuil Hall* - a sacred site in our democracy - makes it so much worse

I don't think Mary Whipple is the voice of the future

Unacceptable. Texas Tech faculty must subvert and resist this policy and make a stand for academic freedom.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Peter Thiel is calling Pope Leo the Antichrist. Honestly, that sounds like something the Antichrist would say.

Above all Trump needs to be seen as a winner. Mamdani is smart to capitalize on this moment.

In a profession where the most prominent journalists are increasingly jockeying for position on the best-seller lists and talk show circuits, you'd think one of them would've figured out that punching the bully back would be the most effective way to distance themselves from the pack.

It's funny seeing how the moment an American pope was chosen, every tradcath adult convert suddenly started going "oh no I need to schism"

Like the whole Catholicism thing stopped being fun for them the moment the pope could go "hey what the fuck are you doing" in English at em

He disgraces everything he touches, including the Democratic party that for decades relied on his anti worker, pro Wall Street advice

Where are those right wing Opus Dei mfers like Leonard Leo and Sam Alito when we're called to welcome and protect the stranger? Funny how their deep Catholicism only comes into play when they want to oppress women and queer folks

Yes, only faculty and students are rising to defend the university.

That he remained an influential insider in both the Clinton and Obama admins tells you everything you need to know about the Democratic party establishment

Oh hey β€” you know that big Chicago raid where Stephen Miller said the building was β€œFILLED” with gang members?

@propublica found 0 evidence of Tren De Aragua, the men weren’t charged with any crimes. πŸ€” (sound familiar Tennessee?)

All for show. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Brought to you by Bill Clinton. Another terrible legacy from the New Democrats.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

It's called rape, @washingtonpost.com
Children cannot consent to sex with adults, let alone consent to prostitution. It was systematic, organized rape.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
