When we say "crime is a social construct", what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jail for littering, but a corporation can poison the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jail.

To witness the birth of my child, I took a day off. It cost me 4 of my 30 career points. I had to work 14 days on call to get those points back. Railroads think this is fine and reasonable.

The 1,000 cops added to subway by Eric Adams didn’t stop this, then an NYPD captain made the decision not to stop trains and let the shooter escape, and now the police can’t find him. Before you call for more cops, ask yourself if they did a single thing to keep us safe today.

BREAKING: UC agrees to recognize SRU-UAW in its entirety! This historic victory was brought about by the tireless efforts of thousands of SRs who organized to win a union & a direct response to our massive Strike Authorization Vote. Now let’s win a strong contract for all SRs!

Biden cutting his reconciliation bill in half leaves ~$300 billion/10 years for climate. We are on pace to spend $8 trillion more than that on the Pentagon (due in large part to Biden): https://t.co/cxJlguiVFK

You know how you got your vaccine without paying a dime? You didn’t spend hours on the phone with your insurance company. You weren’t reduced to a profit margin.

That’s how all health care could be.

Cool. Since Robinette’s waiting for Congress to take action, @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer can send him a bill cancelling all of it.

History is unfolding right now in Alabama.
