they’re proposing a vision for education beyond just job training, they’re rejecting elements of the neoliberal consensus, i think there are better ways to do both of those things

This was a tweet from Michael Hobbes a while back and I’ve seen nothing to contradict it yet: “I think we'll look back on the last decade as a time when social media gave previously marginalized groups the ability to speak directly to elites and, as a result, elites lost their minds.”

A hand pointed a graph, and the words in black are, no lies detected

People also cant believe there is such a thing as “cell rent.” 41 states have it & even if you leave early states like FL make you pay the TOTALITY of your original stay. One Black woman was billed $127,000 ($50 a day for 2,555 days) for the full 7 years of her sentence despite only staying 10 mos

She Only Served 10 Months Behind Bars. Florida Still Slapped Her With A $127,000 Bill.
Under Florida's "pay-to-stay" law, inmates are charged $50 for every day of their sentence—including time they never spent incarcerated.

The “a man of his time arguments” are always bullshit because if you were, say, a Taíno, you probably thought Columbus was terrible regardless of what people in Spain thought. But yeah, plenty of people in Spain thought he was too brutal too.

We spent decades defending the dignity of working-class labor without defending working-class access to intellectual power. Who said choosing welding meant you couldn't also learn deconstruction? Or that selecting culinary arts meant you didn't need any additional writing courses?

So let me know if you want to come to a virtual talk next wk on “Reimagining Leadership.“ Time tbd. The focus is on cultivating critical, creative, and caring capacities in medicine, but I think it applies beyond that. I’m pretty sure we can do this without any leaders.

So this is one of those strikes where there was great militancy among the workers and that’s what made the difference, but also where both the employer and the union had other interests in mind.

A lot of the specific issues are a bit opaque to this American–mostly about when workers could move into permanent positions and thus be eligible for higher wages, basically. Others included test scores for promotion, how furloughs would be set up when necessary, and housing issues.
