years ago I saw Smashing Pumpkins Corgan went on an extremely awkward tangent about how he was lonely. He was inviting women to pursue him. “Just so you know I’m still single….” was met with one random, loud cheer and mostly crickets while we all look around confused and uncomfortable.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

We report: the gorse shrubs are flowering under the cold sun in fat yellow blooms. The wind carries a smell of honey when we walk by too close, and the thorns catch in our hair and clothes. The blue sky falls in deep puddles in the middle of our path. We have to step around it.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

I don't recall where I found this, but I'd say this looks about right.
Two scales illustrating the social environment composed by men. The first, prefaced with "I've learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this" shows over 95% of the line to depict "good men", and a small bit to illustrate "crazed evil men". 
The second line, prefaced with "But it's actually closer to this", is labeled as follows: at the 1/8 mark, "heroic men who will intervene" another eighth "well-meaning men who underestimate the issue", the next line, at about halfway, reads "men who think certain women deserve it (but aren't active predators)" , the line after that, "men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation", at the 3/4 mark, "textbook predators we're all afraid of" and a final mark nearly at the extreme end of the scale, labeled "monsters so cruel we can't even fathom them".

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.
