The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

"Why won't anyone just give me a chance?" is an oft-repeated sentiment among job searchers these days (especially among entry-level and early career professionals, as well as those who are established but are perhaps pivoting into a different role or industry). So here's me providing context.

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

Microsoft began its 6,000-person layoffs today. I say this from the vantage point of someone who has spent 15 yrs helping job searchers: There is no such thing as a stable job. ✅Always look out for yourself. ✅Never be complacent. ✅Never stop building your network.

I'm a secular humanist and given Cardinal Tagle's staunch advocacy for social justice, I hope he becomes the new Pope.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

The new revelations about DOGE's activities at the labor agency come from a whistleblower in the IT department of the NLRB, who disclosed his concerns to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel in a detailed report that was then provided to NPR. Meanwhile, his attempts to raise concerns internally within the NLRB preceded someone "physically taping a threatening note" to his door that included sensitive personal information and overhead photos of him walking his dog that appeared to be taken with a drone, according to a cover letter attached to his disclosure filed by his attorney, Andrew Bakaj of the nonprofit Whistleblower Aid.

1930s U.S. Tariffs helped create the Great Depression. Which became global. History credits this economic climate as largely responsible for the rise of the Third Reich. Project 2025 is a straight line through all of the NAZI tactics that were effective. With improvements and a faster timeline.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.
