Americans Are Overworked. Could AI Change That? - by Juliet Schor - Behavioral Scientist AI promises to help us get more done in less time. It’s an opportunity to reverse the trend of American overwork, but powerful structural factors stand in the way.

Excerpt from my new book #FourDaysAWeek out now in @behscientist.bsky.social. Is overwork in the US a deep cultural problem as is popularly believed? No, the country led the world in shorter hours for decades. A #4DW is possible! behavioralscientist.org/americans-ar...

Gaza is on the brink of a catastrophic man-made famine. Starvation is already widespread; 1 in 3 people are going days at a time without food, and kids are dying daily of hunger-related causes.

After imposing a full blockade for months, Netanyahu is now letting in only a fraction of the aid needed.

This is also a reflection of the fact that the the left needs to have a big tent in a way the right doesn’t. There will be elements of left-wing politics that don’t appeal to everyone, including overreactions. But the pluralism is itself also the point.

This Tuckahoe home won a $1.26 billion contract for an ICE detention center. The owner isn't talking. The company’s website is dated and largely accessible only via login.

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...

If this is how the IDF treats American citizens traveling with media attention, it brings even more credibility to the reports of their abuses of Palestinian civilians. I stand in solidarity w/ my brother Chris, the civilians in Gaza and all working towards peace and dignity for all. End this horror

It’s pretty obvious they’re going to use Maxwell to absolve Trump so it would be wise for Democrats to get out there and remind everyone — she wasn’t a victim and she wasn’t merely an accomplice in luring girls into Epstein’s trap; she was also allegedly an active participant in these girls’ abuse.

If only. You need a new leader.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social do your thing.

I love @runforsomething.net and @amandalitman.bsky.social. They were in the very first cohort of companies who switched to a four day 32 hour work week with no reduction in pay. And they had awesome results. #FourDaysAWeek has the story of these companies.

The Epstein Cover-Up at the FBI Inside the chaotic review process of the Epstein and Maxwell files at the Bureau

EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

Thank you so much @justasocprof.bsky.social What a great thing to hear. I hope you love the new one.

Our country is doing the kinds of things that military dictatorships in Latin America did in the 1980s. I am so sickened. Please share ideas about what everyday people can do. (I am thinking of the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, for anyone who is familiar with them)

‘Catastrophic’: Mass. lawyers say new ICE policy will deny immigrants due process, strain detention facilities - The Boston Globe A July 8 internal memo directs ICE officers to detain people who entered the country without permission for the duration of their deportation proceedings.

A recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo declaring millions of undocumented immigrants ineligible for bond hearings has left many Massachusetts immigration lawyers concerned that people with no criminal record will be sent to overcrowded detention facilities.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you.

Time to rise up.
