NEW Quinnipiac poll of registered U.S. voters: • Half now say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza • Only 47% see backing Israel as a U.S. interest, down from 69% in 2023 • 60% oppose more military aid to Israel • 58% favor UN recognition of a Palestinian state www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

From LA to Chicago, the feds continue their horrid practice of aiming high and directly at press. When these agencies get to uncritically claim that videotaping is violence, this is the outcome: reporters getting hit in the face with “less lethals.” Unconscionable.

Oof

The most explicitly pro-war crimes administration in modern history

Soon millions of domestic workers may lose their right to demand even the federal minimum wage—a mere $7.25 per hour—or any overtime. Trump’s Department of Labor is moving to rescind a 2013 rule, leaving millions of domestic workers without wage and hour protections.

white supremacists and capitalists got so mad at one 18 month stretch of increased labor power that they've agreed to reverse the most complex economy in human history to an agrarian state

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

Just do stuff in real life with people, this isn't very complicated

some truly effed up allegations in this lawsuit filed against James Dolan/MSG: using facial recognition tech/running background checks on fans who shouted "sell the team"; spying on a trans woman because ownership was concerned she was too friendly w/the Knicks cdn.pacermonitor.com/public/case/...

US soldiers opened fire on a group of mostly unarmed women children and elders in the Wounded Knee Massacre slaughtering over 300 Lakota civilians. Survivors witnessed troops chasing down children running away to butcher them. Only a nazi regime would want to honor that

This study only counts attacks through July 4, 2025. There have been several right wing domestic terrorist attacks since then.

"We'll make everyone broke, sick, and miserable. Btw NO IMMIGRANTS" is quite a set of policies. Don't worry brother nobody's trying to come here anymore

They’re literally giving prosecutors the names of people and organizations, and telling them to go find crimes. It’s clear from the NYT that the directive came from Trump. This is a direct consequence of Roberts explicitly immunizing weaponization of DOJ in Trump v. US.

Left Voice: "Italian Unions Say They Are Ready to Strike After Attacks on Gaza Flotilla: Following the most recent attacks on the Global Sumud Flotilla, the Italian General Confederation of Labor says it is ready to call a general strike to defend the activists and the people of Palestine."

people misunderstood me earlier when i said we'd have a robust base of prison labor for the 2030s Woke New Deal but this is the kind of guy i meant

I think it would be helpful if DA Bragg charged a few of these assaults. If the agents think that federal law immunizes them for actions that would result in ordinary New Yorkers being charged, let them litigate it.

Honestly as someone still representing those kids, it's depressing how everyone forgot about them. I say this a lot, but the lesson from those protests from the American left writ large was "if you protest and get arrested, you're on your own."

“Human activities have pushed Earth beyond its Safe Operating Space. The planet's natural resilience is weakening: warming is accelerating, ecosystems are showing clear signs of degradation, and warning signs of tipping points are emerging in key systems.” planetaryhealthcheck.org

MSFT has removed an Israeli surveillance platform from its Azure cloud. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Once again, Israel affirms for Palestinians that peaceful, diplomatic means for achieving their aspirations will be punished

there are nuances to be had in their use and equitable implementation but "turn off all the speeding cameras" is instantly identifiable as a chud opinion

democrats if this happened in the US

So, closing 1% of total US/ Canada stores, but nearly 10% of union stores. Some mathematicians would consider this evidence of union busting.

A good friend of mine works at one of the union stores in Philly getting shut down in this "restructure". They've been with Starbucks for almost a decade and got three days notice that they're going to be out of a job this weekend. Brian Niccol is absolutely vile.

Poisoning half the population of Memphis so that they can feed our data into the PedoCon Robot For Perverts using our tax money

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

this man needs to be in jail and every govt that refuses to follow the law because he's rich is endangering the public

Some people here love to dismiss ‘sportsball’ but S. African teams being banned from international competition was an important factor in ending Apartheid because it made their crimes real for non-political folk.

i really wish our law enforcement and media werent telegraphing to mass shooters that messages written on bullets will be breathlessly and uncritically publicized with no further examination

Hey Bluesky, especially Angeleno and Labor Bsky Can we get a load of signatures for the Cal State-Dominguez Hills Labor Studies department? Which is a really valuable (and unusual) dept and is under restructuring/budget cut threats Thanks y'all! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Destroy car dealerships and you save US democracy

The entire political right who spent the last two weeks scolding the left about the sanctity of human life is going to talk right over the actual victims of the shooting today in order to make it about how it was an attack on them, actually.

Journalist Mario Guevara, from detention: "May God grant that…love and mercy overcome the racial hatred that is dividing this beautiful nation, and that the American people understand that calling oneself Christian includes respect for and support of foreigners. At least that’s what my Bible says."

Reconstruction bros have long understood that in the American context, "socialism" most often means "integration and equality" bsky.app/profile/bren...

Remarkable document: hundreds of European politicians are calling to mobilize European resources to protect the Sumud aid flotilla as it faces escalating attacks on its way to Gaza. In other words: European politicians are trying to protect humanitarian volunteers *from Israel.*

BREAKING: Further confirmation that the shooter targeted immigrant detainees, not #ICE agents. All three #shooting victims were people ICE was holding and processing at the center. The shooter died of a self inflicted would and has been described as a white male www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-...

“Two ICE detainees were killed and one person was injured at a Dallas ICE facility Wednesday morning and one shooter is dead, police sources tell WFAA.” Local breaking news coverage here:

it's absolutely fucking crazy that "retroactively legalize Watergate" and "exclude Black people from literally every area of public life" are the two primary a objectives of the chief justice and yet he is never reported on like the vicious gutter racist he is.

Update: There have been at least 9 attacks, and at least 6 explosions over the past hour and a half, organizers tell Drop Site. Video report by Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

[new Isaac Chotiner interview]

anyway here’s @vivmccall.bsky.social with some extremely good and extremely fucking sobering reporting on the recent surge in random hate crimes directed at trans women in Seattle. Please be careful, everyone. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

Chotiner: You've written a lot about the band Weezer over the years. Me: That's right. Chotiner: And The Blue Album is their best work as you've said. Me: 100%. Always has been. Chotiner: In 1996 in a letter to your high school girlfriend you wrote... Me: Can we go off the record real quick?

Kissinger was nice to me about my Star Wars book so that’s good enough for me ❤️

lmfao

Every day there is a new piece (or many) of the saddest news I've ever heard, and it's especially brutal to consider that this is being done on purpose by our government.

NEW: CBP has been funneling DNA from US citizens—including kids—into the FBI’s crime database. Nearly 2,000 Americans swabbed, many with no charges. Once for violent offenders, CODIS is becoming a mass-surveillance archive. analysis by @georgetownprivacy.bsky.social
