More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: The union of Starbucks workers is officially calling for a boycott of the chain. @sbworkersunited.org has over 12,000 unionized baristas, and they're calling on customers to stop visiting Starbucks until they get a fair union contract.
there is an understanding at every strip club that you can’t have multiple dancers using the same stage name at the same club—and let me tell you how many people I worked with who fought to be, lost, and still ultimately respected anyone who got to be Jolene
Hard to explain to someone outside Seattle what a glorious sight this is. Endless kudos to @mayor.seattle.gov for getting this done.

A reminder that there is no free speech in a private corporation- unless you are a member of a labor union. Labor unions don't just raise wages. They protect your right to speak your mind even if your boss doesn't like it - even if your boss is Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth.
Karen Attiah@karenattiah.bsky.social · 4d agoBREAKING: After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back. And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/b...
Jesus fucking Christ. I can’t believe I tuned out around season 4 and missed this phenomenal moment.
C. Bukowski@thishurt.bsky.social · 7d agoTelevision used to MEAN something in this country. 🧐
Lolllllll. Of COURSE the only signer from the Penn faculty (so far at least) is Amy Wax.
roterote@roterote.bsky.social · 6d agoThere are dozens of academics signing this open letter to defend the American Eugenicist Nathan Cofnas from the consequences of his own actions. They are calling him a “whistleblower”
RFK mRNA what else do I have to say?

imagine you’re this guy and you’ve spent your adult life playing jam band sandinista in nicaragua wondering what the hell is up with your weird sister and finally, FINALLY someone asks. someone wants to know about the number one weirdo of your life
huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · last wk.really buryies the lede, as it seems natalie harp's brother is a socialist psych folk rocker living in nicaragua. kinda of a bizarro bart and lisa situation.
Someone tell the New York Post they are free to use the headline "Natalie Imbroglio"
This account is usually full of shit but I agree with this interpretation. I think multiple people inside the admin are delighted to have a chance to shank her now. The people who were left on the decoy AF1 flight are likely candidates.
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · last wk.All of these Natalie Harp stories are leaking for one reason: Someone in the West Wing is sick of Harp’s shit. Probably just a coincidence that it’s all happening as Leavitt is leaving.
A good way to think about the relevance of James Carville is if someone who worked on Grover Cleveland’s successful 1892 campaign spent all their time critiquing FDR’s 1932 campaign as not being the real Democratic Party that Cleveland represented.
People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.
Trump's covert surveillance of anti-ICE protesters is much worse than we thought. I dug into this and found that DHS agents secretly spied on over a dozen meetings of left-leaning groups, all protected by First Amendment. The details are unnerving. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2144...
Trump’s Secret Police Spying on Americans? It’s Darker than We Knew.
Court papers reveal that the Department of Homeland Security’s covert surveillance of anti-ICE groups is much darker than it first appeared. Welcome to Donald Trump’s America.

"The team found that the greater the proportion of enslaved people in a county in 1860, the bigger the mortality gap between Black & white people in the 2010s, even after controlling for common factors tied to health inequalities, such as rurality or pop. density" www.science.org/content/arti...
Slavery linked to mortality gap between Black and white Americans today

Actually pretty funny for a bunch of ex-Republicans to join the Democrats and then immediately start asking other Democrats if they're secret Republicans

There are a number of ”support groups” on FB for parents who have been “no contact”ed to soothe each other with rants about how irrational and mind-controlled by therapy their estranged offspring are. Not a moment of introspection or empathy - just aggrieved statements of how much they are owed.
Sheo@sheologian.bsky.social · 2w agoAs most therapists in the US are women, any sneering at therapy is the most thinly veiled misogyny at its’ core
this is the correct response to anything Potter-related no "I personally disagree with her but I'm going to do it anyway" it's a hard no, end of story

I'm sure I've posted about this before but whatever, here's a new thread on the subject: why it does not bother me in the slightest if my clients did what they are charged with doing.
Cait@caitesq.bsky.social · 5mo agoI'm seriously begging authors to come talk to a defense lawyer before they try to write fiction about us. There are things that trouble us. "My client wants to go to trial and we might win" is absolutely not one of them.
Thread sums up the general point well.
