After years of struggling to find enough workers for some of the nation’s toughest lockups, the Federal Bureau of Prisons is facing a new challenge: Corrections officers are jumping ship for more lucrative jobs at ICE. By @keribla.bsky.social

This would have been REALLY NICE today. Municipal sidewalk snow clearing in Minneapolis (and St Paul) NOW.

The thing about laws and legality is once you reach the tipping point, the fascists rewrite the laws. The Holocaust was strictly legal under German law.

Leaving this here for no particular reason.

Can you show us where the bike lane or outdoor dining shed is that’s causing all this traffic in this photo you used from 2006?

Fuck yeah. Cars are anti human. They've killed more Americans since 2011 than wars have since 1920

Um hello, based department

"But experts...told CNN they’d urge caution when invoking the word, which has historic roots, including Nazi ideology and, more recently, a violent conspiracy theory that’s inspired terrorist attacks in the US and abroad." www.cnn.com/2025/10/19/u...

One thing I learned over the weekend from talking to finance people is that they assume the AI bubble is going to burst and their issue is figuring out when so they can time their trades right.

oh they gave me a blue check now I can say how I REALLY feel!!! trans rights free Palestine housing is a human right universal health care for all six hour day for eight hours pay mandatory minimum wage raises that track to rent & cost of living protect the oceans & the rivers and bring back Jujubes

We need people willing to make public comments directly to the SPPD Eastern District in response to what happened yesterday. We will pack their community meeting at 722 Payne Ave on December 16th at 6pm. If you can't make it then, there's an additional time at 9am. Press are welcome to attend.

Remember, kids: If unions weren't an effective counter to the excesses of corporations, they wouldn't spend untold billions trying to stop them from coming into their shops.

@workerscircle.bsky.social has digitized the archives of their English newsletter “The Call.” I tried searching for “dance” and found some 1930s Union dances like this 1932 Chicago dance that organizers hoped marked the end of the Great Depression. www.archive.thecall.org?a=d&d=YCB193...

Thy bush is an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: A fountain enclosed, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

This is what I called hegemonic defeatism, looking at the French case We're about to see a lot of people who pretended to be against the far right when it was easy give up before taking any real stand academic.oup.com/pa/article/7...

this is quite the detail

Honestly, this is it right here. Do you use AI on the job? Execs: yes, my job is 87% vibes and 0% consequences Managers: yes, I spend half my time managing up and never got proper training to manage down Workers: only the 27% of the time I waste justifying my job to my boss GenAI is TPS reports.

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

“Strong floor, no ceiling” is the type of slogan that resonates with wealthy centrist political commentators, not everyday people who are actually your voters. What does that mean to someone who is struggling to afford rent, groceries, insurance? This is why Zohran’s policy slogans were so effective

"strong floor no ceiling" describes a pit

A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

Why would a Copaganda series portray the folks who hold police accountable in a favorable light?

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

+972’s West Bank reporter Basel Adra reports that Israeli police arrested his father, Naser Adra, following a settler attack on the village of Al-Faqra in Masafer Yatta.

Coming soon

the problem with this and the dayton's markets is that people have turned "support my small business!" into "support my small business where i buy crap on amazon and temu and mark it up and resell it!" instead of actually creating something themselves yet demand the support as if they are

The enshitification of scientific publishing marches on. First arXiv had to clamp down on submissions thanks to a flood of AI-written papers. Now ICLR authors say their peer reviews were churned out by AI. Reviews full of hallucinated content that didn’t exist and offering useless, vague feedback.

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

It's very simple. If you don't oppose ICE, I oppose you. 🤷

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

Remember, BDS is intended as a civil society alternative to violence: a boycott is a non-violent form of protest against well-documented human rights crimes by the Israeli state. What I hear when ppl decry BDS as too strict is that ppl would rather Palestinians not resist their displacement at all

Happy Bundist Manifesto day! 88 years ago, at the 40th anniversary Congress of the Bund in Warsaw, a ‘Manifesto’ drafted by Bundist leader Henryk Ehrlich was adopted. This remarkable document was transcribed from an out-of-print book for us by frequent contributor Zach Smerin. A remarkable read.

This Day in Labor History: November 22, 1909. Approximately 20,000 garment workers in New York City went on strike against the horrendous conditions of their sweatshops. This strike, known as the Uprising of the 20,000, was the largest strike led by women in American history to that time!!!

Dallas Goldtooth posted this today, appropriate!

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?! & more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It is actually quite fascinating how many older cis white Jewish Zionists publicly deride antizionism, transness, queerness, intermarriage, and social justice, and then wonder why us younger generations aren't connecting with the spaces and congregations they run. It's not TikTok. It's you.

Corollary: Listen to "The Preacher and The Slave" by Joe Hill. It's in the public domain and whence we get the phrase "pie in the sky". He referred to the Salvation Army as "The Starvation Army".

What an incredible resource

I heard there was a Cohen song, And all the Christians got it wrong, But you don’t really get the meaning do ya? ‘Cause you see its about getting laid, It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith, But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

In case you’re wondering how St Paul Police could ever treat their own residents like they did yesterday look at this unhinged statement from who the officers elect as their leaders.

I was at the protest today: SPPD was on site when I got there, but their numbers continued to swell. The crowd was loud af but not at all violent- nor were they impeding agents "doing their jobs" or residents. SPPD was in good spirits- many were smiling and laughing. The protesters were told to +

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."
