The professional managerial union-busting class is relentless in its drive to crush working-class assertions. Here's an example from Duke👇🏽

This has been going on so long I had to check the date.

If unions are pointless, it seems odd that entities would freak out about them the way they do.

The playbook never changes: when workers organize, capital's first move is hiring lawyers to crush it before it starts. Duke just made the calculation explicit. That's actually useful—shows exactly where their priorities are.

Picture of Hammam outside the tent. The floor is sand, the tent looks patched and old.

Picture of Abood sitting on a blanket with a wrapping around his leg. He looks to be in pain.

The crossings in Gaza are closed, goods are expensive, and we are starving.

Just like in Palestine, the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Zionist axis is not only keen on sacrificing children and butchering civilians; it is also invested in destroying history and heritage. Source: @smohyeddin.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DVY2deRDfvU/

So, actually, I guess they were right to worry!

Interestingly, moments after Jennifer Abruzzo delivered her memo in September 2021, I read it out in a Labor of Sport seminar at Duke that included a member of the men's college basketball team and many other athletes.

We then had a discussion about what unionization could look like.

In response, Duke tasked Proskauer, a well-heeled national law firm known for its labor and employment practice, to conduct an “athletics unionization risk assessment.” In attempting to mitigate that risk, the firm focused on how ongoing issues in Duke’s athletics department could trigger labor unrest, treating athlete empowerment as a variable to be monitored, managed and, if necessary, contained.

It is so perfectly Duke that the response to the NLRB's invitation for college athletes to unionize was to immediately contract with the country's top union-busting law firm to conduct an “athletics unionization risk assessment.”

“Nobody knows why the US attacked Iran” - said absolutely fuckin’ nobody with even the most rudimentary understanding of imperialism

Israeli strikes hit hospital in Tehran, witnesses tell Reuters By Reuters March 1, 20262:59 PM ASTUpdated 1 hour ago

Addicted to war crimes.

www.reuters.com/world/middle...

The NYtimes and its pundit class manufactured consent for the war in Iraq - later admitting to using corrupt informants - for the genocide in Gaza, and now for the war on Iran.

We have to see these people for who they are: mouthpieces for American imperialism.

Working on a chapter concerning reciprocity and undergraduate “global citizenship“ and this asshat plays a role as my favorite villain in the enterprise. What a ghoul.

imagine how stupid you have to be to say nobody knows why the US has started a war with Iran smh

ah it was just some old info. Could've easily been confused by anyone. What do ya want

This is worth mentioning to your friends who traded their ChatGPT for Claude subscriptions - Claude helped kill all of those little girls at school in Iran. Anthropic isn’t ethical AI.

Exactly

You know, a known risk of using LLMs for operational planning is that they will treat outdated information as equally valid to current information, and they aren’t good at allowing real-time user input “train” them to preference current information over the older information they were trained on.

Reminder that many U.S. military bases have schools on-site and adjacent to them because, like most countries, military and civilian personnel working at and around bases have kids.

Funny how that works.

🧩 Iranian history teaches us that Iran belongs to the people of the land
🧩 Iran has been a multiethnic/lingual/religious territorial state for thousands of years 🧵1/

It sounds as if the girls' school bombed in Iran used to be part of an IRGC base, but was separated at least a decade ago. One wonders if people selecting targets were working off old materials. The visuals are horrifying.

Imagine having one of the most influential journalism positions in the world and using it to launder the most obscene war crimes.

Never trust the United States of America

Cool super bowl ad, be a shame if it killed a hundred kids

people confused about the use case for turning out while society over to AI: this is it. this was always it.

The US and Israel only 'negotiate' falsely.
Nobody ought to trust them.

All of the bad things are converging.

One of the core messages of the work at Stand Up for Science is we are fighting against science being used as a weapon against civilians.

The US bombed a school that was IN SESSION. What makes you think they won’t turn that tech on us, too.

Words fail
