Wrote a little tribute for Jane McAlevey and was humbled anew to remember the basics that Jane stressed upon us, the strength of deep relationships, and the way she always gave her time and knowledge to ensure we would win within our lifetimes.
For your Monday midday inspo:
Jane McAlevey gave us tools for both the daily effort and the long haul of building working-class power. For @nplusonemag, it was a joy to bring together these tributes by @breadpipeline, @ceaweaver, @Lfelizleon, @MariaOrganizes, and @DeepakPateriya1. https://t.co/4lJFke46KP
New York State is also considering energy-zapping data centers in the Hudson Valley, West NY, and the Southern Tier, when these regions have been calling for more transit infrastructure. We need clean and reliable transportation, NOT more polluting data centers.
This video of Israel’s latest war crime is being systematically suppressed by Twitter.
I screen recorded the moment the platform removed 19 retweets from the post — evidence of Western war crimes being targeted by Elon’s algorithm.

Eavesdropping on a first date with a gorgeous Colombian American woman who’s not “even that left-lib” but spent the last 10 minutes reading Trump to filth to this vet and she’s so hot that he’s just… listening…
Israel having killed every child, every sheep, every dog and cat. Having destroyed every tree, every road, every building in southern Gaza

Every gravestone, every sign that anyone ever lived here.
It's a holocaust

🎥 Juliet Lamont, an Australian documentary filmmaker and Gaza flotilla activist, speaks to Double Down News about being raped by Israeli soldiers after the aid vessel she was aboard was intercepted earlier this month.
Lamont says soldiers pulled down her trousers and underwear and that an Israeli soldier forcibly penetrated her vagina while she was in detention. She was among more than 450 activists seized when Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud flotilla in international waters. Organizers say at least 15 detainees reported sexual assault or rape while in Israeli custody.

Tu eres católico porque crees en Dios
Yo soy católico porque voy a participar en las cruzadas sagradas lideradas por el Papa León XIV contra las tiranías blasfemas tecnocraticas para acabar con la IA
Thrilled to see PSC Executive Council member @DrSusanLK appointed by @NYCMayor to the Commission on Government Efficiency. Dr. Kang’s decades-long impact on helping to lead political reforms in New York and her academic credentials make her an excellent choice for COGE.
I grew up in Miami. Cuban parents, Cuban grandparents. I understand the traumas our families have lived through.
And I still say: weaponizing our identities to justify starving 11 million people is repulsive and unconscionable.
@Cubans4Cuba say NO WAR ON CUBA!
Since Pope Leo XIV mentioned this in encyclical, this means if your employer is pushing you to use AI, you can cite religious conserns as a reason to not use it at work
