@JoyceCarolOates last time i checked natural selection is a law of nature, obvs complicated in human context but more nuanced than your tweet suggests and you’re currently a stand in for the annoying guy in my grad seminars who didn’t know anything about intra/interspecies altruistic behavior
@JoyceCarolOates also complicated by definitions of justice. social behavior is in fact “selected for” if it helps individuals in a population survive and reproduce, so if injustice is a detriment to survival, it’s conceivable that those traits (even behavioral) will become less common over time
ICE is arresting children as young as 5 in their driveway after they get home from school and shipping them to detention centers in Texas. This is objectively depraved and it’s insane Dem leadership refuses to support reducing ICE’s budget (which was TRIPLED this year) at all
Nurses are on strike while the CEOs of their hospitals rake in millions.
It was an honor to visit the picket line with @SenSanders and demand a fair contract for NYSNA nurses so they can get back to work.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.
Minnesota appears to be in gear for a mass uprising. Unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and small businesses there are calling for a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23 @Lfelizleon reports 🧵1/7
@yonceplayssims@specifism@peakcapitolism sorry, i hope the MN day of action blows ICE off the face of the planet but i’m skeptical that a day of action will result in much, even if it has really high participation. the current nysna strike is historic—15k nurses!—and they’re 9 days in w stiff resistance
There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @MacroEdgeRes.
That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.
NYTWA members caravanned to the @nynurses picket line this morning to show our support for the 15k NYC nurses on strike for patient and nurse safety.
NYC drivers say: Nurses are our heroes! Solidarity forever!
if you live in nyc bring these nurses coffee, energy, w/e good vibes you can muster to support them in the long fight against disgusting capitalist healthcare pigs
went to a nysna picket and spoke w an incredible nurse of 37 years. it’s not about $, it’s a life + death fight over patient care. it’s not about losing licenses if something goes wrong, it’s the moral & physical toll of more patients than you can care for, about people dying
