The barely-disguised disdain management has for workers is a wonderful kind of clarity. We have reached the phase of capital expansion where bosses can no longer pretend to be teammates with the people whose labor they steal. badfaithtimes.com/we-need-to-s...

The Democrats believe in stability, continuity, and that any change must be modest and gradual and avoid needless disruption. They believe in that very deeply and sincerely. They believe in conservatism, in other words.

I can't emphasize how inappropriate this advice from the @who.int is. We have learned nothing. This, for a disease that has ongoing spread, with 30-40% mortality. Precautionary principle for the win. www.who.int/emergencies/...

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Gaza is facing an “environmental and biological apocalypse” under Israeli bombardment and blockade, reports Palestinian aid worker Eyad Amawi of the Gaza Relief Committee. Israel’s destruction of infrastructure has become a “generator for disease."

We have friends everywhere.

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Kinda burying the lead here, NPR

watched trainspotting last night, with its portrayal of a crumbling social safety net, of a society riven by fear, distrust and mutual exploitation, and all I could think was "this looks so much better than what I'm living in"

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

The Trump DOJ lied about the SPLC's role in Charlottesville. Using informant-provided info, the SPLC handed the FBI a 45-page "Event Alert," including names, photos, associates and criminal histories of the rallygoers—and their "weapons of choice," per a new filing. Background buff.ly/AwMBRNa

I don't know if this would be a patient advocate? But I could accompany patients to medical appointments to help them ask questions and advocate for themselves could also do it for pet owners at veterinary appointments

Once again, The New York Times is in the headlines for its rampant transphobia. Here's our in-depth interview with a former NYT editor who laid out in detail how the paper pushes anti-trans bigotry, and how it's directed from the highest levels of the company.

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie. The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…

Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom. The system failed when it chose profit over accountability and forced itself on others. He reflects the insatiable beast that was already there preying on us all. Change will require building a new nation before the current one rightfully collapses.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

The Trump Department of Education wrote a dangerous new regulation that would strip Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) from people based on their "political ideology." It's a completely naked fascist attempt. But Senate Dems can stop him—it just requires a few more votes.

It’s a point that bears repeating: it’s not “reasonable concerns” or “legitimate questions” that impede healthcare for trans people. It’s just basic transphobia.

The message I got from this was that US grandmothers need to go out seeking charitable donations to pay for family healthcare.

The trope that associates violent profiteering by elites and their henchmen with being “tough on crime” was pushed by both right wing and liberal media organizations for decades. It is one of the great achievements of modern propaganda to associate cruelty and domination and violence with “safety.”

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

Israel continues to demolish the homes of more than 600,000 people in Lebanon, because Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide is what they do. Can you imagine the outrage if this was being done to Israel? But Israel does it. Complete SILENCE.

In response to the US Supreme Court striking down conversion therapy bans:

Friends, Rest in Power is not for white people. It’s a phrase specific to the Black community to honor their elders who advanced human rights And it’s especially inappropriate to use it for a white MAGA dude like Chuck Norris. Martial arts prowess does not equate to kicking ass for human rights.

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
