The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich & the powerful… is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.

From Public Health Watch: More than 26,000 #workers — an average of seven per day — suffered workplace amputations from 2015 through 2024. Texas led the nation in worker amputations by a wide margin, with more than 3,900 reported in the 10-year period. https://www.texasobserver.org/workplace-amputations-on-the-rise/

Labor is now officially _THE_ most corrupt Australian Government to have ever served:
⚠️ Espionage against Australian National Interest & National Security by providing Herzog high-level unrestricted access to Asio boss.
⚠️ Penny Wong refusing to answer to parliament whether she allowed the foreign agent access to Asio (later confirmed by Asio themselves, cited in exposé link attached).
⚠️ Throwing out/disabling environmental laws to rip up the Australian Environment to provide the DT Regime with rare earth minerals for more Weapons and AI.
⚠️ Inviting Active Genocidist in for Tours and 'Wining & Dining' while weaponizing event-laws into a brutal and violent police-state to literally break the spines of aged rightful-protestors against genocide.
⚠️ Pouring away over $368billion on already outdated Subs we'll never get, to appease a fascist U.S. regime, during a time of Extreme Financial Crisis to Australians.
⚠️ Constant appeasement of the fascist U.S. DT Regime and official support of illegal attacks, abductions and killings.
There has never before been a time in Australian History where this level of sheer all-encompassing corruption has taken place or under any other party.

#FactChecking Trump's State of the Union Address
No surprise that it amounted to a lengthy stream of boastful fearmongering lies — about #economy, #jobs & #labor, #inflation, #crime, #immigration, #health & #healthCare, with nothing about the two big issues of our time, the #humanInsecurity from which the regime profits, and the #epsteinFiles which it — particularly the #childRapist face/puppet of the regime — evades.
https://www.factcheck.org/2026/02/factchecking-trumps-state-of-the-union-address/
> In the first State of the Union address of his second term, President Donald Trump proclaimed that "our nation is back, bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before." But our review of his speech found that he distorted a number of facts about the state of the economy, health care, immigration and other topics.

30% of India’s labor is unionized.
90% of the unionized labor joined the strike.
ALL THIS INFORMATION IS IN THE LINKS I PROVIDED.
yes, close to 300,000,000 workers ―in a country of +1 BILLION― did not show up to work in India on the 12th of February of 2026.
THAT’S WHY IT IS HISTORIC AND NEWS WORTHY.

can i just say something about #Colbert?
whomever negotiated his #CBS #labor & production contracts are geniuses.
have y’all noticed how, notwithstanding everything, they can't get rid of him outright?
Colbert must have nuclear options in his & his workers contracts that exponentially raise the costs of CBS getting rid of them under any circumstances.
this is only possible with the backing of labor #unions. Hollywood proves #unionization is the only path to wealth for the working classes.

Hi, I'm Max. I live in #NYC and do #journalism at PCMag where I cover #infosec, #security, and #privacy. I also write reviews of #VPN and professionally complain about #capitalism. I'm the Unit Chair of the ZDCG #union and moonlight as a #labor organizer. If you want to learn about how to unionize your workplace, plz DM me. I play #banjo badly and think about #medieval literature. I'm spending too much money on #fountainpens.

My main interests are written communication, teaching writing, and education, particularly as they relate to productive disagreement explored in various contexts: rhetoric, organizational & workplace communication, organizational learning, training, research, emergent strategy, coalition work, and facilitation.

“When Keckley asked to purchase freedom for herself and her son, she was given what seemed like an impossible price: $1,200 — roughly $45,000 in today’s dollars. What her enslavers did not anticipate was the depth of the #professional #relationships she had built. Her clients — women who trusted her skill and depended on her #labor — pooled their own money and loaned her the funds. In 1855, Elizabeth Keckley legally bought her freedom.”

American politics makes more sense when you understand that in different ways, both parties, their pundits, their operatives & their media machines are trying to help their donors depoliticize the looting of #America
..Why do they want to depoliticize that systemic pillaging? Because they do not want anyone to think that elections can change the economic superstructure that enriches their donors

I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.
Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:

Hi, I’m Ethan! I’ve been a web designer for a bit. Here’s my #introduction!
I coined the term “responsive web design” some time ago, in part because I’ve always thought of the web as a medium that should be accessible everywhere, by everybody.
I often write about #WebDesign on my blog, and about #unions and #labor in tech.
I live in Boston with my wife and our two #cats. And I spend a normal amount of time thinking about Tamsyn Muir’s #TheLockedTomb series.
It’s so nice to be here!
