Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families. Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

My current plan is $680 and next year it is $1450. I lucked out as I turn 65 in December so Medicare. I was also able to retire at 58 because I budgeted for the ACA years. Nobody will be able to retire early anymore and I don’t think people want 70 yr old teachers running middle schools.

Same. Though my husband just went on Medicare so this bill below is just for ME and my college age child. bsky.app/profile/blue...

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not. They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today. They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

This is horrible news. This program is a huge success, identifies brilliant scholars and gives them a transitional landing place that can help them land a tenure track job in the system. It’s a win for students, their programs, and all the schools in the system. Why end it?

The cruelty is the whole fucking deal. They don't care about legality or have a purpose they just want to terrorize.

A Florida man was arrested in connection with a series of online threats against several of President Trump’s political adversaries, according to a criminal complaint, which said that his targets included James Comey, Letitia James and Hunter Biden.

Italy says communication between rescue teams, local officials, foreign diplomatic missions 'extremely challenging'.

📽️ WATCH: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. Trump justified the deployment of National Guard troops by calling the city "War ravaged," with an ICE office under siege. That's not what we found. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/43fRCmF

like I do one of the very least backbreaking forms of manual labor there is, and we still have people laid up on the regular because they twisted the wrong way while drilling overhead on a ladder

my dad had a commercial window cleaning and landscaping company and I started working for him at 12 years old and did that until I was 23, it sucked, a lot

My job is one of those jobs that people assume will be taken by AI-- almost all of the digital suites I use have been pushing me to write, schedule, whatever with AI for months now. <looks around> I live in farm country and there STILL aren't manual labor jobs that I could do.

I mean good for him

I hate how disconnected people are from reality. Those mountains you see here are artificial mountains created from the debris of asbestos mines in Quebec. This is what industrialization removed. It’s good.

🎶Manual labor is often highly specialized and requires education and training🎶

earlier this summer, i had to defend my disabilities (again) reminding someone that i cant just go get a job in a shipping warehouse i tried that over a decade ago, my body will not let me and yet im still trying to get healthy enough to work a job at the co-op bc my body is healing

People don't think of retail jobs as manual labor, but they are. I was in retail for decades and even when I was young being on my feet 8-10 hours a day was rough. Then add in unloading trucks, stocking shelves, climbing ladders, even folding clothes is tough when you do it for hours nonstop.

In less than half a minute, I went from working some $9/hr job building fancy homes for rich people to being disabled for life at the age of 33. I just stepped backwards and OOPSY. 🤷‍♂️🙃

Now, before everyone loses their minds: OBVIOUSLY one attack is too many and it's heartbreaking for the victims. But also...first responders and police were on the train in 8 MINUTES, the perpetrator was arrested, and no one was killed. Maybe it's my American showing, but that's amazing.

In 2024, there were 1.6 BILLION rail journeys in the UK (passenger journeys). The knife attack last week was horrendous but it doesn't mean we need to: Turn train stations into airports Carry pepper spray Wear body armor Kick out all immigrants. Thanks for coming to my TED talks.

The trust fund socialist has control of enough capital not to need to sell his own labor to survive, giving him freedom to choose how he sells or donates his labor-time. The diversity consultant can tap into transnational networks of many cultures. Even his stereotypes of his enemies are powerful.

Each of these insults betray the fear of their power. The girlboss directs capital daily. The skittle-haired activist challenges the foundational binary of traditional society by their very existence. The HR apparatchik can find employment without physically presenting themselves before a boss.

Police say one suspect in custody, but ‘hero’ train staff member still in life-threatening condition.

I was an infantryman for much of my adult life. It was a good job. More often than not it was an honest day's work of service for not horrible pay. But there's a reason I did the training to get a tech desk job once I'd gotten the minimum time in for a retirement from the army.

In a bid to cut the cost of the special needs bill, Labour is considering the change for children with conditions such as dyslexia and some types of autism ⬇️

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

My dad was a welder his whole career and one of the underappreciated hazards of that job is that sometimes he would just Come Home Blind for a couple of days. Let's all quit our desk jobs and go do that.

My grandad getting on the post-war Emergency Training for Teachers scheme and leaving the coal mines was the best thing that happened to my family; it literally saved his life.

Totally forgot about his ass.

I don't think we have any idea what happens to an economy where 42 million Americans are suddenly and purposely starved by the ruling party.

Not surprising, still very concerning: according to @politico.com, “a significant minority of the population — 24 percent — believes that there are some instances where violence is justified.” Roughly tracks with other polling on that question. @erindoherty.bsky.social
