It speaks volumes of job hunting in the US that you walk out of some interviews thinking “fuck, even unemployment is better than this” The American labor market will do everything possible to strip us of our health, our dignity, or both

"Rena" sent this from Moses Lake WA where she is weeding carrots for a non-union company. She shared: The air is bad. See my cell phone. The AQI is 166, which is unhealthy. We start at 4am. We'll work 7-8 hrs & earn minimum wage. #WeFeedYou
idk why y’all are mad, bsky does need to expand beyond it’s liberal bubble, those people suck ass and we need more leftists, commies, socialists, anarchists, syndicalists, hell give us some nihilists too

Bumping to share what prompted this: I worked my way through Against The State in a single week back in April @jamesstout.bsky.social‘s writing is sincere and straight to the point. I’ll probably be rereading this book as soon as I get my copy back from a friend
Red Dude@r3ddude.bsky.social · 3d agoI regularly forget how much I enjoy reading solid nonfiction and it pisses me offfff If anyone’s got recs they really enjoyed and learned a lot from, I’d be happy to add to my reading list
Oh also I've been taking 65 million years to read King Tyrant by Mark Witton, which is a wonderful illustrated/be-diagramed book about what we know about Tyrannosaurus Rex. I am very slow with it cause it's not an audiobook but it's really really really cool.
Couple more: Careless People - Wynn-Williams (The book Facebook was trying to ban, absolutely jawdropping tbh) Enshittification - Doctorow (The actual book about that idea and how it happens)
The War Within a War - Haygood (antiblack racism and the Vietnam War) American Wolf - Blakeslee (The killing of wolf O-Six) Underland - MacFarlane (Gorgeous book about undgergound space/the anthropocene) Open Veins of Latin America - Galeano (The history of exploitation of latin america)

Need people to remember how much, how long the city fought against exactly this fate. I hope those who weren't convinced in 2019-2020 by the umbrellas and arrows of fire are now. All of that anger and desperation was justified.

AltNPS constantly steals from journalists, so I made a list of those journalists. Give the list a follow, and you'll have a solid list of real news sources. These writers deserve your attention!
really not a fan of how recent displays of even very light, inoffensive support for trans people have been met with transphobes complaining to the mods and the mods genuinely intervening that it is in fact not allowed

I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
ICE’s Secret Weapon Is in Your Community
While attempting to maintain a relatively lower profile, ICE is managing to arrest record numbers of people. Here’s how it’s doing that.

Like that was the coolest part of the vibe of Halo 1. Yeah nobody has ever seen a colossal ringworld before, it has far-reaching implications for all sorts of things. We don't know anyone who cares about that shit though, we're in the middle of a war, we're just landing on it. Literally do not care
