I'm putting together a team

This site is blocked in Brazil so you probably haven't heard this – the country is literally on fire. Over 60% of the national territory is covered up by smoke. These are mostly arsons that were started by cattle agribusiness. All biomes are burning. It's basically winter there.

A fun thing about living in the Bay Area and attending ~events for intellectuals~ is learning that a lot of twitter’s favorite praxis-posters are ginormous douchebags in person

"It's December 7th, a solemn day where we mourn those lost in the attack at Pearl Harbor and the consequences that followed or, perhaps, a day to admire the cunning Japanese air assault and the devastating accuracy of their bombers."

New data shows San Francisco discards 90% of homeless people's belongings it stores after sweeps including wheelchairs, walkers, bicycles, and 100s of bags that often contain medication, IDs, and survival supplies.

In other words, this is the US outwardly saying it thinks it has the authority to decide which people have the basic right to self-determination and which do not

I love CitiBike, but costs of e-bike rides have skyrocketed to up to $10 per ride. I’m introducing a bill to cap e-bike rides at the cost of a subway fare. Bike share is an essential part of transit in NYC. It needs to be affordable & accessible for all. buff.ly/3MLba9S

Randomly thinking about Grant Balfour's entrance as the A's clinched the 2012 AL West. Criminal what's being done to these fans.

Their bagels are too expensive to be that mid anyways, another reason not to buy.

Next time you see how awful your PG&E bill is, remember that Empower Oakland has a literal PG&E lobbyist on their Board of Directors.

This is news is super dope. I also love that Mr. Irrelevant is described as one of the “most powerful people in sports” and that’s probably not even debatable at this point.

Huge news: The NLRB today ruled that Starbucks illegally closed all three stores in Ithaca. The agency ordered that those stores be re-opened, with the unionized staff re-hired and given 16 months of backpay. This is why Starbucks is suing to destroy the NLRB.

EWOC (Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC)) is hands down the most effective organization helping workers form new unions.
