and so many men who know who the guilty parties are and would suffer no personal cost for calling it out remain silent or even join in the accolades because "it can't have been that bad" or "I'm sure he's changed" or "what if I'm guilty of the same thing? Better keep quiet"

PCC Admin fought hard against open bargaining. They wanted all mediation to be confidential. They didn't want to be interviewed on camera for this piece. Corporate-style comms and glossy PR is not leadership.

Thanks @wweek.com and @joannah11.bsky.social for covering my union's potentially history-making strike. We do not wish to be a test case for SB 916, but it's nice to know that our members will have access to unemployment benefits if this drags on a few weeks

Impending Strikes at PCC Might Be the Testing Ground for a Controversial Piece of Legislation

If the strikes drag on, PCC could be a case study for whether unemployment benefits strengthen the determination of employees to hold out for a better deal.

in light of today's events, i want to share a story i was told during a study abroad summer in italy, where i took a class on the rise of fascism. the picture below is the site of a mass grave. captive partisans were brought here by nazis, forced to dig, and then executed on the spot.

a perfectly normal-seeming grove in the italian countryside on a clear sunny day, a farmhouse amid trees surrounded by vineyards. there is no evidence of anything untoward in the picture.

Next in the Thanksgiving Day parade...it's Scooby Doo!
This balloon is 60 feet tall!

Interesting fact! A real 60 foot dog would eat over 500 pounds of Scooby Snacks per day!
And his heart would weigh one ton! Wow!

But, physiologically, that wouldn't be large enough for an animal that size!
Every heartbeat would be agony!

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

<
Sisters of Charity, New York 20h • ©
Several of us watched Cardinal Dolan's recent FOX interview, where he referred to Charlie Kirk as "a modern-day St. Paul." The Cardinal praised Mr. Kirk's conviction and willingness to speak about the Lord and for being a model for young people looking for meaning in their lives.
We grieve every loss of life and unequivocally condemn the killing of Mr. Kirk.
What Cardinal Dolan may not have known is that many of Mr. Kirk's words were_ marked by racist, homophobic, transphobic, and anti-immigrant rhetoric, by violent pro-gun advocacy, and by the promotion of Christian nationalism. These prejudicial words do not reflect the qualities of a saint. To compare Mr. Kirk to St. Paul risks confusing the true witness of the Gospel and giving undue sanction to words and actions that hurt the very people Jesus calls us to love.
Just last week, Cardinal Dolan joined us in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the canonization of our Foundress, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Elizabeth's legacy is not one of exclusion or hatred, but of radical welcome, tireless service, and unwavering love of neighbor. Many of Mr. Kirk's words stand in stark contrast to the charity and compassion that defined those of Elizabeth Seton.

For generations, the Sisters of Charity of New York have cared for immigrant families arriving with nothing but hope.
While our direct service has changed, our commitment to those families endures. They deserve true examples of discipleship, not false prophets.
In this moment, we reaffirm our mission: to walk with all people who are poor and marginalized, to welcome immigrants and refugees, to defend the dignity of LGBTQ+ persons, and to labor for peace in a world saturated with violence. These are the marks of authentic discipleship. These are the qualities of saints.
We urge our Church leadership, including Cardinal Dolan, to lift up witnesses whose lives truly reflect the Gospel of Jesus Christ - lives of humility, justice, compassion, and peace.
We will continue to pray for Mr. Kirk, his family and for all who mourn his loss.
Leadership Team, Sisters of Charity of New York
Sr. Donna Dodge, Sr. Margaret O'Brien, Sr. Mary Mc Cormick, Sr. Mary Ann Daly, Sr. Sheila Brosnan, Sr.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but it’s actually true. Disney has been on a crusade of devaluing the visitor and worker experience at the park for well over a decade. It’s palpable how little regard they have for their customers and their workforce. I hope this is a tipping point.
