So well put. Absolutely

Murphy: Kamala Harris ran a campaign asking people to defend democracy, when a lot of people looked at this version of democracy and said, if this is the version of democracy that you're defending, I don't want it. Democrats need to be for a version of democracy that’s clean and not corrupt

New Ohio bill would create state registry of applicants who skip job interviews COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Some Ohio legislators are trying to make it more difficult to skip scheduled job interviews. House Bill 395 would create an online registry of applicants who don’t show up t…

Ohio wants to create a statewide database of people who skip job interviews, presumably to kick people off unemployment benefits.

This is what is happening right now.

We need to believe in ourselves. It’s hard, because we have been trained not to. But it’s our only choice. Work together to bring about change. Much better use of our energy.

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices....

ICYMI: Amazon still doing Amazon things

The company is not only reintroducing new versions of old features that allow police to access footage from Ring users

Amazon is introducing a new Ring feature that will allow police to request *livestream* access to our home security devices.

so when you…

• force this tech on most everyone

• block it from acknowledging trans people even exist

• remove lgbtq people from human rights reporting & allow ICE to conceal info on trans people in custody

…it seems like a good time for cis folks to stop considering political “compromises.”

one thing that makes me optimistic here is that the bystander who bravely intervened and was injured has already raised 60k+ for his treatment

On a very serious note, my dad Sam Weinstein is being persecuted by the UK government because of his pro-Palestine organizing. If you’re in the London area this week, please consider coming out to support him as he faces what is a brazen attack on Palestinians and civil rights.

The Toxic Blowback of Israel’s Bombs How military action in Gaza is polluting the land, air and water far beyond the enclave’s bounds

International law experts from
the Gaza Tribunal present a grim picture of the final phase of genocide and note both the overwhelming global support for Palestine and the concurrent repression against advocacy and protest. This is a critical episode to listen to and share.

Just learned from LinkedIn that a Heritage Foundation affiliate is now FOIA-ing (or equivalent) instructors’ syllabi to go snooping for supposed illegal DEI at state universities. It’s hard to describe how far past McCarthyism we’re headed here.

Van Hollen speaks on effort to block offensive arms sales to Netanyahu Govt as starvation grips Gaza YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen
