I’m going to need to cut this line I like from a piece about the Iran War you’ll read tomorrow, so I post it here to tell my darling I will see it in the gardens of heaven:

This would mean destruction of the dollar system basically. You're not wrong but it radically alters possibility space.

Since 2020 New England had rainy winters that were miserable. The moment I move away they get back to back epic snow fall winters. Idk if I should take it as an omen or just a case of it always snowing more somewhere else.

Idk i feel like the 2010s optimism feels so far away atm. Like surplus population? Capitalism logic says just warehouse them and extract rents.

I dont see more free time. Just crunch and extraction. I wish I could see an alternative.

β€˜Shut up and focus on the mission’: Tech workers are frustrated by their companies’ silence about ICE β€œI’ve hit my limit of what I’m willing to tolerate”

Does your employer have contracts with ICE? Is your workplace unprepared if ICE shows up on site?

If the answer is yes to any of those questions, we can help you organize your co-workers to fight back. 🧡

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Smartsheet Forms

oh hey, New York Presbyterian has put out the call to recruit scabs from the NYSNA members on strike! And they have a web form to do so! And it just so happens that I know that the employee IDs are six digits, and the CWID is three letters followed by four digits and then [at]nyp[dot]org!

Y'all wouldn't catch me in a lame duck season. I'd be granting things left and right. Fuck it, I'm sure the courts will... Oh you mean the courts are overwhelmed so we can help a bunch of people in the meantime? What are you going to do? Not re-elect me?

"Call them."
"I sent them an email."

"It's better to call them."
"I also texted them."

"Just call them!"
"I'll send them another email!"

Ready to fight ICE at work? We can help.

But also I've never seen more chapters run for congress, so I think most folks are on the same page post biden.

I would also say congress has been deeply dysfunctional for a while. And these actions feel like the only way to make congress do anything. And that can lend itself to thinking it doesnt matter who sits in the seats.

I mean i think popular frontism when in opposition is great. Run that playbook everytime. The question becomes what happens when left is still only 35% and loses primary. How do you avoid repeating biden term that caused so much psychic damage.

Marxist gymnastics disclaimer, but because basic precepts of liberalism are under attack i think we are seeing a February revolution coalition more than October.

I think its important to point out as well. But I do think media likes entrepreneurs as main characters more than workers.

Sometimes that business owner hand is being forced by labor but the boss plays it off like it was the plan all along. Similar to when Starbucks gives raises in the hopes of disuading workers from joining the unionwave but say its not related or their woke.
