#OtD which most likely translates to 13 Oct c1157 BC, the first recorded strike in history was first reported. In ancient Egypt, gangs of construction workers building for Ramses III launched sit-down strikes in protest at insufficient food rations shop.workingclasshistory.com/search

Both 1) a liberal arts education does not prevent someone from becoming evil on the individual level, and 2) society in general is better off with more people having such educations Are true

People sleep on CUNY but it is one of the absolute JEWELS of U.S. Higher Ed and has been for decades. And what's the thanks the system gets??? It has to fight for its life every single year because it has been systematically defunded.

Also worth preparing for the fact that (as with a lot of male oriented social media spaces) you are two scrolls away from weird incel-adjacent and/or White Supremacy stuff. Lots of nostalgia for "when men used to dress respectably" etc.

This month is the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and it reminds me that the ADA could not be passed today. It probably couldn’t get a vote in committee today.

Apparently if social media existed during the Shoah, what most people would be doing is calling Jews scammers and annoying, saying the Nazis have a point about trans and Romani people, ignoring disabled people entirely, and citing Henry Ford's The International Jew as a legitimate source.

To extend this, "Why don't the leftists do something radical?" would be pretty easily answered by "Why don't *I* do something radical?" If you're not willing to reflect on your risk tolerance, you have no place pointing fingers at others.

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

Was reading Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent in Chiles v. Salazar, and I was fascinated by this passage. Between the IOC’s inane testing decision and today’s (bonkers) SCOTUS ruling it feels like we’re getting to “drained-pool politics” on gender and sexuality… (1/2)

I hope the UAE is paying Wood for this garbage, because one of the few things more disgusting than being a paid propagandist for a slave society is being an unpaid propagandist for one.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

THIS is the story. That the feds are spying on people doing completely legal stuff and characterizing them as “anarchist violent extremists.” The story is NOT that you need to be afraid to court watch or patrol your neighborhood for ICE activity. DO NOT SELF-REPRESS.

Yeah, except the moral of that story isn't to cheer for the wolf... It's one thing to critique the cynical accusations of bigotry; it's a another to declare yourself a proud bigot, sarcastically or otherwise.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Dividing the world into a bunch of segregated ethnostates is a terrible and bigoted idea. We don't need to be separated from each other. We need to embrace each other, accept each other, celebrate each other. Interfaith, interracial, and intercultural exchange make us better. They're the future.

The single most telling moment about the purported antisemitism epidemic on college campuses was when I, a Jew, was accused of being "anti-Jewish" by a non-Jewish college lawyer when representing some antigenocide protesters and when I said I was Jewish the lawyer responded "you don't act like it."

The reason I despise Stephen Miller so much is the same reason I am so ardently antizionist: We, as Jews, should know better than ANYONE the human consequences of throwing in with fascists. Being a fascist is a betrayal of every Jewish value I hold dear. It's beneath contempt.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

i keep reading statements from democrats saying they find mahmoud khaleil's views to be abhorrent and despicable before going on to say that he should nonetheless be given due process. but no one has been able to demonstrate what khaleil's views are beyond the admin's assertions. except for cnn:
“As a Palestinian student, I believe that the liberation of the Palestinian people and the Jewish people are intertwined and go hand-by-hand and you cannot achieve one without the other,” he told CNN last spring when he was one of the negotiators representing student demonstrators during talks with Columbia University’s administration.

Columbia University sold out to fascists and brutally cracked down on kids whose only sin was opposing genocide. The fascists threw the University under the bus anyway. I feel like there's a lesson in there about complying with fascism.

Republican rhetoric sounds anti-government. But that’s just a cover. Great explainer quote from @keeanga.bsky.social “The right is not anti-statist…they love the war state. They love the police state. They love the business state. It’s the social welfare state that is the problem.” #StopTheCoup

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

From the perspective of US foreign policy, it is the job of the IDF to be cannon fodder in service of American interests in the region. As soon as that dynamic is reversed, the relationship becomes worthless to even the most hawkish hawks.

If someone wishes you "happy holidays," it doesn't mean they hate Christmas. They're simply acknowledging that there are *many* sacred observances that take place this month, including the anniversary of Muntadhar al-Zaidi throwing a shoe at George W Bush on this date in 2008.

maybe it’s just me but I think I’d be more comfortable sometimes riding in a subway car with a homeless man than I am knowing you can apparently be choked to death by a stranger and have the law say they were justified because you were making them anxious or something.

Daniel Penny acquitted after literally killing someone on camera for being disruptive on the train the same day a person of interest in the shooting of a shitbag healthcare exec gets grabbed pretty succinctly sums up who in this country is allowed to kill and who they’re allowed to kill.
