Witnesses testify to alleged unsanitary, squalid conditions inside Broadview ICE facility The question on Tuesday was, what happens inside the walls of the Broadway immigration detention center where attorneys, politicians and protesters have been turned away? The stories from court are sh...

“no beds or blankets, no access to hand soap, showers or hygiene products,” ”the smell of human excrement and other unwashed people”

"Some of these conditions are,” disgusting.” ”To have to sleep on the floor next to an overflowed toilet,"

You’re a better woman than I. I saw the headline and said, “For the love of Christ!” and went back to my 40 year career of ruining the workplace

But across the newsroom and business side, the typical woman earns 6 percent less than the typical man (approximately $7,000 annually). And the typical employee of color earns 8 percent less than the typical white employee. Over just a few years that difference can amount to a sizable sum. Women and people of color are significantly underrepresented in the most highly compensated reporting and editing roles in the newsroom. They also tend to be younger, thanks to the recent push to diversify the company. Both factors help drive the overall pay disparities.

After the NYTimes published the op-ed "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", I remembered that a NYTimes Guild report in 2021 found "Overall, median pay for women was $10,000 less per year than for men, meaning women earned roughly 92 percent of what men earned." nytimesguild.org/papers/2021-...

Anyway, there are moments of crisis and scandal when historically excluded people can start to break through. It is easy for those breakthroughs to be limited and mitigated by pre-existing hierarchies. We need to both see the break throughs and support the structural changes.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I am in NJ and am going to a small one tonight, with other grassroots folks. I am nervous, but hopeful. If the worst happens, I’ll be with a group that has been through alot together. Still, I feel like I’m tempting fate.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @deadder.bsky.social )

Starving people while building a massive ballroom isn't wise.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

🤷🏼

The Community Bookstore! Wow! I remember it well from my Park Slope days 40ish years ago.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

this is insane.

Another disturbing video out of IL, reported by Block Club Chicago: agents/thugs are seen detaining a man, pressing him to the ground as he gasps, “I can’t breathe.” A crowd quickly forms, begging them to stop.

We are outraged over the use of excessive force in immigration & federal operations.🤬

Number 2 & 3 are flights of voter behavior fancy. Not one to pick these things apart, more inclined to just GOTV until polls close. But that’s weird stuff

This billionaire is trolling hardworking educators—and making jokes about gutting supports for special needs kids.

COVID impact clearly reflected in the 2020 totals, but a nice recovery in 2021, with consistent year over year gains

Honestly the best thread I’ve seen in a long, long time..

Joe Biden, an elderly white man in a blue suit, with his head hung down in sadness.

Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

OMG.

This is what's crazy to me I have never really been an early adopter but I've always liked technology and I've always been interested in advancements in my field and tried to stay current... But I can recognize a wrecking ball when I see one. This is not advancement This is destruction of everything

And if you mention it to your colleagues, they look at you as the old person who hates technology. Never mind you‘ve mastered all the tech you needed for the job & life -and then some- up to this point

This is so fucked up.

I genuinely think sometimes rather than explaining or arguing these totally made up controversies people should just be shamed for pretending not to know basic information about the world

Forget the polls. Take nothing for granted. And let's work our hearts out these next seven days.

It’s also why you don’t stop building your movement when you have a big lead - and why you do it in a way that builds community. You have the trust and the broader audience to bring with you.
