THIS thread is among most important I’ve ever read.

The social construct making wage theft “Civil” rather than “Criminal”
👉🏼 protects employer-employee bears expense/time of litigation
👉🏼 people committing most harm aren't in jail & don’t live in “high crime neighborhoods”

[Dave McKenna @djmckenna00]

Most theft is wage theft. Meaning, the dollar value of stolen wages is greater than the value, each year, of all burglaries+robberies, shoplifting, auto theft, combined. Yet, wage theft is NOT A CRIME 2/

Nearly 1,000 migratory birds died at ONE building just this morning in Chicago. Imagine across the whole city.

Please please please consider turning lights off in your home and offices over night as our feathered friends make their journey south!

Millions of birds die in US every year due to light pollution during migration. Turning off exterior lights reduces deaths by ~80%

YOU CAN HELP:
-Turn #LightsOut- 11pm-6 am during migration periods (April/May & September/October)
-Ask your building to: https://t.co/4FlhmpAyfU

@GeorgiaAudubon Eeally well done graphic. Wish all Lights Out cities would do these.

[Manhattan Bird Alert @BirdCentralPark]

Sign this petition to support a bill in the NYC Council that could sharply reduce bird collisions by requiring buildings to turn off nonessential lights at night during peak migration seasons. https://t.co/e7N0zvq9VF

Investing in child care is good economic policy. Our economy is slated to lose $10.6 BILLION if Congress doesn't act by September 30th to prevent 70,000+ child care centers from closing—and potentially millions of parents from reducing their work hours or leaving jobs altogether.

@WhartonGradMBA @nicholaswu12 Wow. It has been taken down. That is stomach turning.
There is another copy of this somewhere...will have to find and post here.

Another monument to white supremacy that should come down? The Electoral College https://t.co/U8OqgRT6Ax

It takes real guts to call out excessive police spending in 2022, amid Democrats’ "defund is dead" cacophony and a GOP-cultivated crime panic.

Demings: Senator Rubio, I have a message for you. Rape is a crime. Incest is a crime. Abortion is not.

Make no mistake—social security is on the ballot.

Make your voice heard. Vote on November 8th for the candidates who will fight for you.

@GoGo_Penguin @xximrecords @Anteprimaprod @ArtistsGoodlive Astounding music. Lighting works against it and listeners vibe.
ps...please come to the states!

For good reasons, most stroke survivors don't return to work until >6 months post-stroke. But for many, getting back on the job sustains a sense of purpose & autonomy.

For those who are not concerned about the twitter new ownership....

[Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior]

Twitter is a hellsite that also houses a vital time-stamped chronology of state corruption. It shows who know what and when, and gives some insight into why. Chronology is an enemy of autocracy. Altering Twitter is altering history, and that's the appeal to autocratic minds.

A few months ago, @protctdemocracy published a guide for how reporters can cover and distinguish threats from politics-as-usual. This blurb seems helpful as we figure out how to cover disinformation in information security. https://t.co/FcOMinyUJV
