Going back to the IWW model where there aren't really any contracts and all agreements are enforced by sudden strikes if the employer breaks them.

Arkansas AG Threatens to Sue Sites for Providing Info About Abortion Pills One of the sites, Plan C, is a well-known resource for information about medication abortion.

got that @autonomynews.co in my inbox and one thing to add to this from @susanrinkunas.com:

this kind of speech is *exactly* the sort of thing the court has said crisis pregnancy centers have a first amendment right to say. it's just the other side of the story.

will the court care? lol lmao

godspeed

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

Correct. The U.S. has a maternity care crisis and 6 in 10 maternity care deserts are in rural areas www.marchofdimes.org/maternity-ca...

every dumpling in its soul is antifascist

Family caregivers worry over planned Medicaid cuts' impact About 63 million Americans, or a quarter of adults over 18, take care of an older or disabled person at home, and many rely on Medicaid funding for help.

The invisible caregivers of our most vulnerable - most of whom are women - are already overburdened. What’s coming as a result of Medicaid changes is going to hurt so many.

The idea that the papers you write in graduate school are the aim, rather than forming the person who has something worth saying and worth learning from, is among other things a crisis of confidence and imagination. We used to worry about impostor syndrome - this is just impostor manufacture.

this explains some things lmao

today is one of those days i can tell is tailor made to piss me off

emily oster joining bari weiss’s right wing propaganda project absolutely checks out.

every time you see "parents' rights" finish it in your mind with 'to abuse their children' because that's ALWAYS what it's about, whether it's sex education, homeschooling, gentle parenting, gay flags in schools, whatever. it's the desire to exert an outsized level of control over their children

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

Israel Detains, Chokes, and Beats Up Amazon Union Leader Chris Smalls Meanwhile, there’s not a peep from mainstream media in the U.S.

Very glad to see this coverage of Chris Smalls being brutalized by Israel in @newrepublic.com.

Work less, be more productive?

Study in 6 countries found 4-day work week led to:
⬆️wellbeing
⬇️burnout
⬆️job satisfaction
Likely due to better sleep, improved work ability & less fatigue. This was compared to companies that stayed with 5-day work week.

Between this and the destruction of public sector production of basically anything, it feels like the billionaire class is engineering a major recession to discipline the masses.

This totally makes sense. A notable public figure in the US (Amazon labor organizer Christian Smalls) is illegally arrested by Israel and subjected to severe physical violence while on a hunger strike… and not one US media outlet of any type has decided that is news.

Politico Pro Headline: "Acting NLRB general counsel takes swipe at union agitators; The new memo to agency staff instructed them to deeply investigate a pro-union worker's genuine interest in a job."

The Trump NLRB wants to make it easier for employers to avoid hiring pro-labor job applicants.

It's illegal to not hire someone just for being pro-union, but new NLRB guidance is making it easier for employers to root out potential hires who might want to organize their workplaces.

Harm reduction self-efficacy and motivations for contactless supply access among a sample of syringe services program participants Background Contactless harm reduction supply methods (e.g., vending machines, mail order, mobile delivery) have become prevalent in the United States. However, this approach has faced some criticisms, including the notion that, unlike staffed syringe services programs, contactless methods do not provide face-to-face support, education, or referrals to treatment, potentially limiting their overall impact. Methods We collected self-reported data from a sample of people who inject drugs who accessed a syringe services program (N=50), including their demographics, harm reduction self-efficacy (i.e., confidence to employ specific health-preserving coping skills in high-risk drug using situations), and motivations for contactless harm reduction supply access via vending machine. We explored differences in the participants' demographics and harm reduction self-efficacy by usual method of harm reduction supply access (in-person vs. vending machine). Results Participants accessed the harm reduction supply vending machine primarily out of convenience (66%) and limited syringe services program hours (56%). Fear of being seen by someone they knew (28%), law enforcement (34%), and social services (22%) were also motivators. Overall, harm reduction self-efficacy was highest for safer injection practices but lowest for reducing drug use. We did not find any significant differences in participants' demographics or harm reduction self-efficacy by access method. Conclusions People who access harm reduction supplies in person and through contactless methods may not meaningfully differ in terms of their demographics and harm reduction self-efficacy, and contactless harm reduction supply methods are more convenient than in-person services. Findings support continued reductions to barriers of harm reduction services.

Our latest paper presents the findings from a pilot study to understand why PWID access contactless harm reduction services. People who used a vending machine did not differ in their ability to engage in harm-reducing behaviors compared to those who used in-person services. doi.org/10.1186/s129...

And guess what prevents hepatitis B? Vaccination! Make sure you’re up to date

this is why trying to isolate abortion from all other sexual and repro health/services is always a terrible move
