It's no longer the case that China only exports Bad Clothes and that the US only makes Good Clothes. In fact, we have a ton of sweatshops in Los Angeles churning out crappy fast fashion. US companies also rely on global supply chains for their production.

Social and cultural barriers often exclude women from aquaculture and allied jobs. In Odisha, women are breaking the barriers that exclude them.

It is a very distinctively English thing: anything said with a mouth full of marbles is evidence of brilliance. For my sins, I've had twenty years of listening to bigoted rubbish articulated with a posh accent & an air of authority.

Big news: AAUP ends their opposition to academic boycotts!

Israeli academic institutions have helped Israel destroy Palestinians’ academic freedom, including killing thousands of students & faculty and bombing every university in Gaza. AAUP now affirms our duty to boycott them!

[Ali Alkhatib @_alialkhatib]

ever since i read about the weapon israel used to kill those kids - not an explosive bomb, but a weapon the pentagon and CIA developed in secret that blasts knives out to slice people to pieces - i couldn't stop thinking about that maxim: "the purpose of a system is what it does"

This is a map of how stupid they think you are when they say they're targeting Hamas and killing everyone by accident.

“every single [doctor and nurse] saw young children sniped to death in Gaza with deliberate shots to head and chest.”

Over 3 weeks since the Politico article, and 2 weeks since the open letter was sent, and still not a word of coverage in any of the major American newspapers.

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

Dems have to listen. This is not about niceties or identity politics but accountability. Democrats cant be leading a genocide for 10 months and demand respectability politics by threatening that the alternative is worse. Genocide is not better if facilitated w empathy.

Mind-blowing new research from @NaomiOreskes shows definitively that climate change was on the minds of members of Congress as they drafted the Clean Air Act -- and that even schoolchildren were being alerted to the risks, way back in 1958: https://t.co/1UTT7DuSAv

After all the transphobia, witch-hunting, and the despicable and unsportsmanlike disrespect shown by a handful of athletes - let THIS image be the one that stays with you:
