@StrikeDebt owe $16K of an original loan of $65K. i worked four years doing oilfield labor to pay off most of that. you know, dirty, dangerous work (that paid better than my alma mater payed a full prof). not bragging, just wondering how an adjunct would have a snowball’s chance of payoff?

This Day in Labor History: August 4, 1968. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated by James Earl Ray while in Memphis to support a strike by the city’s sanitation workers. Let's talk about the context behind this and the racism these workers had to overcome!

[Austin McCoy @AustinMcCoy3]

Dr. King was assassinated 54 years today while supporting striking Black sanitation workers (AFSCME Local 1733) in Memphis. Dr. King was also in the process of organizing the Poor People's Campaign--a national mobilization of a multiracial coalition for economic justice

The Senate is debating a bill sent over from the House that will prohibit cities to zone fireworks. This would allow a pop-up fireworks stand in the middle of downtown Des Moines and give the city no say over whether that is a hazard to be near a highly populated area.

@snackowska Chaucer was a bureaucrat, or civil servant, if you like. He was also captured and held for ransom. So he moonlighted as a hostage, too.

@jennifernvictor wealth inequality is incompatible with democracy / robust, widely-accessible social services (healthcare, housing and income guarantees) and public goods (schools, hospitals, parks, libraries) are necessary for creating democratic outcomes.
