Black Woman Found Hanging in Tree Behind Vacant Home in Jackson, But Details Are Sparse

Jackson police are investigating the death of a Black woman who was found hanging in a tree behind a home in Mississippi's capital city.

Anywho, I've yet to find a job that makes me healthier. It's more like "this job affords me access to health-enabling resources to offset the health-harming effects of the work I do." The nature of work under capitalism means that someone else always benefits from my work more than I do.

If nothing else, that opening sentence is a good "tell" of the authors' ideological bent, given the topic of the article [super identifiable if I name it]

Just read an article that started with the claim that "employment improves health, while unemployment harms health." Work conditions can also be insalubrious, & much harm arises from conditioning healthcare access on employment status, which is also conditional on health x disability status.

Not his most unhinged statement but the claim that "Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus” is false. Perhaps O’Mara can take some inspiration from the wildlife and try licking his own ass after taking shit in the corner at his next dinner party.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

not enough attention being paid to the quote "i could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room and nobody would know." pretty sure they would know!

This is word for word bar for bar the verbage that was used to justify every war crime we committed during the War on Terror just replace "Jews" with "America"

Ex republicans be like: “I support genocide & ice but what Trump is doing with the economy is absolutely unacceptable, we need a a Hitler but a Hitler with common decency“

If you want an Israeli source. Israel isn't just committing genocide in Occupied Palestine. It's arming the UAE so they can continue to commit genocide in Sudan and Congo. (And the US is arming both of them.) www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

How Israel armed the United Arab Emirates

Just weeks after Iran's proxy struck Abu Dhabi, Israel's largest arms manufacturer proposed supplying the UAE with a fleet of dozens of strategic drones. Leaked internal documents allegedly reveal the...

In case you still don't see how Israel's genocide in Occupied Palestine and the UAE's genocides in Sudan and Congo are connected. Elbit, the Israeli company in question, has 3,000 US employees and manufactures drones and night vision for the US military, and also owns US-based Universal Avionics.

They are literally buying Donald Trump's loyalty through stablecoin. And for that they get lots of our weapons. Everything Israel does, the UAE also does - from buying elections, to genocide with our weapons, to sexual violence as a weapon.

What's the common denominator? The UAE. Even as Israel gets far too little criticism for its genocide and influence campaigns, the UAE somehow gets *even less* despite ALSO spending millions of dollars on influence campaigns, lobbying, and buying lawmakers.

Must read from Jillian Ambrose & @dpcarrington.bsky.social: “Eight of the biggest oil companies amassed profits of more than $90bn in just three months as the Iran conflict sent energy prices soaring and the emissions-fueled climate crisis caused deadly heatwaves.”

Revealed: major oil firms make $93bn profits amid war and climate crisis

Considering USBP’s history, this is most definitely going to result in agents making deals with drug traffickers/cartels

This is an abomination. The fines are absurd and collecting them is...a farce? An invitation to violence? What all will this lead to

So the federal government is going to pay goons to go probably assault people who have *already been deported* and shake them down for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in economies where a thousand dollars is a small fortune?

Swim in the same waters, i.e., being a petulant inheritor and swindler loyal to his racist upbringing and reliant on the capitalist state to hold him afloat.

Elon Musk's politics are indistinguishable from Paul Golding of Britain First [except Britain First is more coded on violence, while Musk has been more openly pro-violence as inevitable, necessary, legitimate since Aug 2025] The main pro-Hitler YouTuber "Zoomer Historian" is encouraged.

That photo is so condescending. A wealthy person who’s never done shit, pretending to care about the worker’s skills. Anyway, if you’re in vocational or manual labor, talk theory to your co-workers. If you’re a teacher at such a school, drop references to class and concepts in conversations.

In a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.

Not sure if this is correct but supposedly the words genderless and communism were both first used in print in 1840 www.merriam-webster.com/time-travele...

Education about and opposition to eugenics desperately needs to be much more prominent in US socialist organizing. But I've found virtually no interest in touching it.

Increasingly, patients are showing up to hospitals in ICE or CBP custody. NILC staff and Dr. Theresa Cheng spoke with @austinkocher.com about how medical professionals can care for their patients — and protect their rights — when this happens.

Austin Kocher, PhD@austinkocher.com · 2w ago

A patient in ICE custody is brought to the hospital with a guard in the room during care. The National Immigration Law Center wrote a guide on what doctors can do in that moment. I sat down with three of its authors. 🧵 austinkocher.substack.com/p/hospitals-...
