First time voting to authorize a strike should management continue their unlawful bullshit and I couldn't feel more fuckin ALIVE

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.

@psfrench.bsky.social reports on what's going on in this new piece:

Fluorescent image of a mouse brain, pseudo colored with cyan, magenta and gray

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

Unanimously appointed by every Democrat in the Senate

No it doesn't

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 “national 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, “It’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

I thought it was pretty clear

Why would he say that?

You really don't have to hand it to Hitler

By calling for the abolishment of slavery, progressive Democrats are squandering a clear opportunity to secure meaningful reform of the treatment of enslaved people

ICE should be abolished and the white supremacist thugs who have been terrorizing American citizens and immigrants alike should be arrested and tried for their many many crimes

Yeah there's no way in hell he graduated high school

UAW members remain goated

An old tweet of mine from 2021 saying “We used to have Gingerbread Men in this country. Nowadays all we have is Gingerbread Them. Retweet if you support nuclear war with China”

Government accounts just post like this now and that’s how policy is made
