Arco: No Kings No Emirs

📍 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐀: At a newly reopened ICE facility run by CoreCivic, detainees say conditions are “hell on earth” — overcrowding, filthy cells, denied medical care, threats of solitary confinement, and agents using aggressive force. #AbuseofPowerWatch

May they use serrated knives.

REI, while a consumer co-op on paper, has been overtaken by a managerial class that values profit and control instead of supporting their hardworking employees. Union/worker representation on the board has been pushed by REI workers and members, but the board has made no effort in allowing this.

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.” ⚓️

The UC Berkeley Labor Center mourns Kent Wong, our longtime colleague and friend. A passionate champion for workers—especially immigrants—and students, Kent dedicated his life to justice. Our hearts are with our colleagues at the UCLA Labor Center.

Today we were at Airbnb HQ in SF with labor & community groups to launch #boycottairbnb. They are suing the City of SF for $120M, threatening cuts to public services, even as the take much-needed housing off the rental market. boycott-airbnb.org#boycottairbnb(link in bio!) and take the pledge to book elsewhere!

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks: I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

BART should look at green paint stripes for wheelchair, stroller and e-bike users. @aliciatrost.bsky.social @bart.gov

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

What's it like living in Chicago today? This image gives us a strong sense of the fear that Chicagoans fear from Trump's secret police.

I think something we have to do more of is talk about how kickass a lot of American cities are because right now some people think they’re run by Sharia Law nudists and most of us never thought to counter that argument because it’s stupid and doesn’t make any sense

"We don't need a warrant... fuck off".

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

We wanted to understand Democratic Socialists of America. So we talked to two old guys who voted for Trump. (Yes, this is literally the article.)

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

More messaging like this please

I’m just going to keep repeating that undocumented immigrant workers actually _help subsidize federal programs for everybody else_. In 2022 alone, they paid $25.7 billion into Social Security and $6.4 billion into Medicare—both programs they can’t access due to their legal status👇🏽

Best take I've seen on this whole thing so far

Oh look, more Strike Captains! Workers in Portland, OR letting Starbucks know they are ready to do whatever it takes to secure that first contract!

Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not. Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not. Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed. Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not. Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

ANNIHILATION (2018)

Eww gross

Hello from nature this morning! I'm struggling with optimism and not feeling people and that's OK but at least the world is beautiful and it's worth defending! Here's a recap of the best moments of the first hour of my day ❤️ 🪶

Strong message from the Plumbers & Pipefitters Union.

I was admiringly reading the "about" section of an up & coming candidate; then I saw a dismissive comment in her bio about "people over 50." YES we need new leadership & it's *horrible* when ppl cling to their offices even with dementia, etc. But age does not inevitably equal crusty old ideas.

There's often ugly ageism in the call for renewed Dem leadership. Yes, we need boldness & action from leaders, not cardboard institutional caution. But there are bold ppl of various ages. Consider Bernie or Elizabeth Warren. Gov Pritzger & Keith Ellison are in their 60s. Sen Murphy in 50s. Etc.

California gave counties power to inspect ICE detention centers. They’re not using it. #FixKern

NEW: The Santa Clara County Office of Labor Standards Enforcement has released a report "Working Conditions of Restaurant Workers in Santa Clara County." This report is further evidence that the BoS must waste no time in moving forward with the #FastFoodFairWork ordinance already moving.

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10. Windows 7 use is surging 5x now. AI is product poison.

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.

Gov. Gavin Newsom today signed into law a deal that will allow hundreds of thousands of rideshare drivers in California to bargain collectively while still being classified as independent contractors. we wrote about how the union process would work: www.latimes.com/california/s...

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...
