Four years ago, then-President Joe Biden and both parties in Congress blocked railroad workers across the US from striking. Railroad workers tell us things have only gotten worse on the job since then.

Railroad jobs have ‘gotten worse’ since Biden and Congress blocked workers from striking

Madison, WI. Today, 4August Police brought a wheel loader. Protesters clung to what they called "an autonomous zone," where a cop killed Corey Ruiz. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Laura Schulte, captured the scene at 7:44 am (local time). "Police have removed protestors." URL: x.com/SchulteLaura...

“The proposed award comes after legal service providers across the country have said that the administration has withheld $65 million in overdue fees from the previous contract, alleging it is an attempt to force them to turn over confidential information about the migrant children they represent.”

“The Trump administration is set to award a multimillion-dollar contract to a small Texas law firm without immigration expertise to provide legal representation for thousands of unaccompanied migrant children in government custody during immigration proceedings.” abcnews.com/US/small-tex...

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Those physicals, Maria explains, are usually perfunctory: “Like, Are you walking normally? Are you lightheaded? I have never had to take any clothes off. I’ve never felt uncomfortable or violated.” If IL26-638 were to pass and Maria were still in school, she says she would likely drop out of her team. (We’re withholding Maria’s real name to protect her privacy.) “I honestly don’t know if I would be able to do these tests,” she adds. “It would also make me question, If I do it, are all my teammates going to too? Or would I just play with the three or four girls who are willing to or have access to do it?”

It’s super unserious to live to witness our pre-apocalyptic hellworld that went from being a boundless source of infinite sustenance to having a crumbling ecosystem only since the 3rd Industrial Revolution & fix your mouth to say that it is the socialists that are going to kill us all.

i got mugged at shotgun point. the cops arrested the wrong guy, hustled me out of court at the hearing when i said ”that’s not the guy,” told me “you didn’t see him,” made me do a lineup at the prison and when i said “that’s the guy i saw in court, still not him” told me “it’s OK, he’s a bad person”

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

The Landlady of Your Dreams@yuenqiu.bsky.social · 4d ago

Being charged, arrested, tossed in jail for a few days are enough to make people lose their jobs and have something "on their record' that can destroy their lives through making it hard to find another job. Not just this regime, states and cities use this as a weapon too.

Prisonculture@prisonculture.bsky.social · 4d ago

It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.

trump didn't bomb that school in iran or those bridges and power plants that are killing iranians right now. he didn't bomb all those boats in the gulf. he gave an order which dozens of US military members followed willingly in the jobs they volunteered to do so i have no sympathy for the troops.

One thing that orgs like Amnesty absolutely rely on when operating in liberal democracies is being able to get good press on whatever they're doing from the likes of the Guardian and NYT and this absolutely isn't available here

Transphohic orgs threatening a human rights org with legal action is a new level of brazen. It's kind of disorienting that it's probably going to work.

Regardless of how they remix the language, every super rich dude since the beginning of capitalism has only had one idea & it’s that by virtue of being in a position to extract more wealth from the labor of the collective than we ourselves are able to, they are entitled to more rights than we are.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal: “Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”
