Normally the NYPD reserves this kind of manpower for a mother selling churros

[keith bb @TRAILSANDWAYS]

why do bosses who won't bargain with their workers, proudly flouting labor law, get police protection to move product and union-bust with scabs?

hard for working people to believe in elite "democratic institutions" when we see the law bends backwards for CEOs, never for us

[Zito @_Zeets]

Beautiful image of the police’s true function

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

To put this in the mildest possible terms: this kind of elite impunity fuels antisystem rage. Biden and other prosystem leaders are being incredibly myopic and self-destructive by ignoring this fact.

Valuing seniority over political and messaging chops is exactly how Democrats got into this mess in the first place

Car brained commenters often cite dangerous transit as a reason to drive. To address this claim I mapped homicides on transit compared to deaths from cars in several large cities. First is NYC, where more pedestrians die than drivers

Lots of good shit here but the discussion of how the gigification of labor makes working class solidarity more difficult and promotes an ideology that every Uber driver is a proto-entrepreneur is particularly urgent.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I don't really want to offer my takes. I'm just sad. And as much as I tried to prepare myself for this moment, I really didn't think it would come. This was no fluke. We as a nation chose this; it’s who we are. Best to look that right in the face, and figure it out from there.

If Donald Trump becomes president, he would have the authority to end the American Climate Corps.

The ACC, modeled after FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps, has put over 15,000 young people to work in clean energy & climate resilience workforce training since its launch in April.
