Solidarity with Amazon @Teamsters who are currently on strike fighting against corporate greed & for their right to organize.

Our workers deserve fair pay, safe working conditions, and dignity & respect in the workplace.

Very few school shooters have gotten the death penalty. Yet the U.S. is trying to charge Luigi Mangione so he gets the death penalty for killing one man. You can kill dozens of kids and get a lesser sentence because their lives don’t matter as much as a CEO’s. That’s America.

Amazon workers are on strike.

Tomorrow, Starbucks United workers are starting a rolling strike.

These workers are brave and putting it all on the line to demand respect from these mega corporations.

We all must show solidarity: no crossing the picket lines.

We could have spent the past 5 years improving clean indoor air infrastructure, funding Long Covid studies, embracing remote work, normalizing mass testing and masking, etc.
Instead we got "Get your shot and go back to work." And here we are staring down another pandemic.

“In New York, a mother with no history of drug use lost custody of her toddler & newborn for 5 months after she tested positive for fentanyl that the hospital had given her in her epidural.”

This state-sanctioned violence inflicts a very specific form of trauma that people don’t often recover from. https://t.co/TzSflwfsBs

Sudan is still bleeding. Congo is still in crisis. Haiti is still destabilized. Remember them as you remember other people.

"Five thousand University of California workers filed to form a new union in @uawregion6 on Friday.

“'This is a movement and a campaign that is really long overdue,'" said Nandini Inmula, a career services worker at UCLA."

If you think the pandemic's over, you're badly wrong.

This is the staff absence rate for the seventh largest employer in the world.

See the consistency of the absence rate leading up to the pandemic...

Look at how it changed in 2020.

And see where it's going *now*.

Fortunately, the academic job market has prepared me for crushing disappointment
