After 10 weeks, the strike is over! We are thrilled to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with @columbia. This is a historic moment for labor in higher ed, and it is just the beginning. We look forward to getting back to work and compensation for our back work.

INBOX: The City of Seattle says appointments are NO LONGER NEEDED at its Rainier Beach, West Seattle, and Lumen Field mass vaccination sites. Anyone who lives or works in King County can now walk-up to get vaccinated.

Honestly ppl losing their minds to simp for pharmaceutical companies (who are refusing to break patent and actually save the the world) is pushing me past joker mode into extreme chaos mode

WHERE ARE THE AID? Despite 25 🌏flights loaded with 300 tonnes of emergency #COVID19 relief supplies landing in Delhi 🇮🇳 (5500 oxygen concentrators, 3200 O2 cylinders, & remdesivir) in 5 days, no domestic flights have transported them. Hospitals waiting.🧵https://t.co/2PAvp0GxUy

[sarah jeong @sarahjeong]

something I didn't know until I went to law school(!!!!!!!) was that universal daycare was a popular — sometimes mainstream — feminist demand in the 1960s and 1970s. for all we talk about women empowerment, the arc of history, and so on, there was a giant leap back in the culture

60 cops out of 800,000 is a homicide rate of about 7.5 per 100,000 (compared to 5 per 100,000 for the US population as a whole) which is about equal to the rate for the states of alabama and tennessee and is 1/3 the homicide rate for residents of washington DC.

[blackness everdeen @traceyecorder]

The system will sacrifice a few to keep itself intact. Never forget that.

Abolition now.

[Jerry Daepoto @daeshikjr]

This does not prove the system works but it proves even the most obvious bare minimum won't happen without public pressure. We only saw this verdict because of the protestors who risked their lives on the street. Those still incarcerated. Those murdered for their advocacy.
