This Day in Labor History: October 27, 1948. An air inversion trapped the pollution spewed out by U.S. Steel-owned factories in Donora, Pennsylvania. The Donora Fog killed 20 people and sickened 6000 others. Let's talk about this deadly legacy of industrial pollution. That photo was taken at noon!

These people are such tiresome clowns. Niche hobby site Ravelry has 10x the active users in the US as DSA has dues paying members TOTAL, this is just people getting way too big for their fucking britches and failing to understand their role as partly custodial. Arrogant baby brained bullshit

NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

Lewis Wade 🗃️@wadehistory.bsky.social

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

I'm not surprised by this. This Western Civilization thing is built on the negation of Islam & Judaism and that they both "belong" to the "Near East." The Trump administration is being honest about the imagined supremacy of "Western Civilization." Western race science was formulated for this purpose

the contrast between seeing US democrats fall over themselves to embrace idiot transphobia all year and tonight seeing footage of the president embracing my (trans) congresswoman, Erika Hilton, at the election night party

Man who looks & sounds like a biblical punishment for dissolution spouting racism in front of a CD cheap county GOP banner bc his Imperial Wizard fucked up so bad his own people want to kill & eat him like he does to roadkill. If we lived in a meritocracy it would be legal to beat him with sticks.

So it makes me a little sick to imagine even the smallest possibility that any statewide election in Minnesota could be a close call.

Still living with the trauma from Metro Surge, and one of the two major political parties is filled exclusively with electeds and candidates who endorse, or wouldn't lift a finger to oppose, a campaign of racial terrorism if their leader ever decided to turn up the dial on us again.

In my Minneapolis household we still have conversations where I say very helpful reassuring things like "but they're not doing that so much in our area right now." By which I mean "you're safe to go for a walk, worry less about federal paramilitary street shakedowns of brown people."

"Cushing, however, represented the most dangerous element in the North—the politician utterly indifferent to the moral issue [of slavery] and remarkably self-righteous about doing business as usual" the more things change, man

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

pelosi's a nonsigner which tbh makes sense because in true italian fashion, she absolutely privileges her anger at ilhan's independence/unwillingness to tow the party line over the obvious threat of any member of congress being persecuted in this way. racist ass

The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

cleaning the cat fountains is an annoying and time consuming chore but there IS an upside: bones fully believes humidifiers and fountains are 1. alive and 2. his friends, so every time i do this i get to watch him experience all stages of grief and also the joy of uh. Cat Easter

none of the other cats think this, either, so i also get to experience claudia hanging off to one side watching bones experience paroxysms of joy over the resurrection of his besties, very visibly thinking to herself "brother what is wrong with you"

i put both the fountains back and turned them back on and he got so excited he ran up and down the stairs with a bottle brush tail while claudia watched in befuddlement. tibs and lois are both still asleep under the duvet lmfao

Reupping this thread because I'm not sure who convinced a bunch of Democrats that the way out of authoritarianism is to concede on EQUAL RIGHTS, but I can *promise* that it won't work. It never has.

Erin Maye Quade@erinmayequade.bsky.social

If folks in the Democratic party cannot find it within themselves to be absolute staunch supporters of trans people's rights because trans people are people who have inherent worth, then they should at least do it because if we give up on trans people, then we're literally giving up on democracy.

What do you think the overlap is of Minnesotans who swell with pride at local organizing against ICE and the people who want a partner at Trump's favorite law firm to be the next Hennepin County Attorney?
